KUALA LUMPUR, March 17 — The Embassy of Malaysia in Doha has advised Malaysians in Qatar to remain vigilant and comply with local authorities’ instructions at all times, following current security developments in the Gulf region.
In a notice posted on its official Facebook page yesterday, the embassy updated the current situation in Qatar following the latest warning issued by Iran to several countries in the Gulf region.
It said the Qatari government has stated that citizens need not worry, as the Qatar Armed Forces are always on alert and capable of defending the country.
Furthermore, the Qatar Armed Forces have proven themselves by successfully intercepting nearly all attacks and minimising damage and casualties, it added.
“However, all Malaysians are advised to remain vigilant and always follow instructions issued by the Qatari authorities.
“Avoid staying outdoors or in high-risk areas and remain vigilant of your surroundings,” the notice stated.
