GENERAL ADVICE TO MALAYSIANS ON THE SITUATION IN BANGKOK

 

In view of the tense and dangerous situation unfolding from the latest outbreak of violence in the evening of 13 May 2010 in Bangkok, we would like to make the following advice to Malaysians who are living in or visiting Bangkok:

 

a)                 to strictly avoid from visiting the hotspots occupied by the red-shirts, particularly, Ratchaprasong Intersection, Lumpini Park, Silom Road and their surrounding areas where the roads have been partially closed and the authority has increased the presence of military and police personnel in those areas with more stringent measures being undertaken such as requiring the public to show their ID and erecting more check-points for that purpose;

 

b)                 to take extreme care about personal safety and always be vigilant;

 

c)                  to monitor events and the latest developments by monitoring the news from local and international media (print and electronic);

 

d)                 to register with the Embassy of Malaysia by calling up the Embassy or sending an email to the number and address stated below; and

 

e)                 to contact the Embassy for assistance, if necessary.
