THE government has decided to bring back all Malaysians in Bangladesh due to security concerns following escalating tensions in that country, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the government prioritised the safety of Malaysians and decided on the evacuation after monitoring the latest developments in Bangladesh.
“Whether they are government-sponsored or private students, we will help them. The foreign minister will hold a meeting if it is necessary to charter a plane to bring them back.
“The safety of Malaysians is our priority. In the first few days, the situation seemed to be under control, but now, based on information from the embassy, it seems more appropriate to bring them back,” he told reporters after opening the National Tax Conference 2024 in Kuala Lumpur today.
Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan, in his press conference today, said the government would bring back all Malaysians in Bangladesh after the immediate evacuation plan received the “green light” from the prime minister. – July 22, 2024.
