Malaysian citizens who plan to travel outside the country should take extra precautions. Of late, a number of Malaysians have been arrested at entry points abroad following the discovery of illicit drugs in their procession.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been alerted that there are a number of international criminal syndicates who are targeting Malaysians to serve as unwitting drug couriers.

Malaysian must be fully aware of all the items in their luggage. They should register with the relevant Malaysia mission upon arrival at a foreign country. Those wishing to take up job offers abroad should first verify the status of the employer and the offer.

 

Nasihat Perjalanan

Warganegara Malaysia yang ingin ke luar negara dinasihatkan mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga. Kebelakangan ini terdapat sebilangan rakyat Malaysia yang ditahan di luar negara kerana disyaki membawa dadah.

Kementerian Luar Negeri telah dimaklumkan bahawa terdapat sebilangan sindiket jenayah antarabangsa yang mengsasarkan rakyat Malaysia untuk digunakan sebagai penyeludup dadah.

Warganegara Malaysia mesti menyedari kesemua kandungan bagasi mereka sebelum berlepas ke luar negara. Mereka dinasihati mendaftar dengan Kedutaan/Konsulat Jeneral di negara yang berkenaan setelah sampai ke destinasi. Mereka yang ingin bekerja di luar negara dinasihati untuk memastikan kesahihan majikan dan tawaran pekerjaan tersebut.
