The High Commission’s records show that 55 Malaysian civilians are currently in South Sudan. Additionally, 18 Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) officers are serving with the United Nations Police (UNPOL) mission in the country, and all of them are reported to be safe. The High Commission is also in communication with UNPOL to ensure the continued safety and well-being of the PDRM officers.

Considering the worsening situation in South Sudan and as a precautionary measure, the Ministry advises all Malaysians living in South Sudan to remain vigilant and give utmost attention to their safety and security. They may also consider relocating to safer places or voluntarily returning to Malaysia, should they feel their safety and security are at risk.
The Ministry also advises Malaysians to defer travel to South Sudan due to the volatile situation in the country.
