The ministry, widely known as Wisma Putra, in a statement on Wednesday said that Malaysians in the affected areas are urged to stay vigilant and follow the latest updates and guidance provided by the local authorities.
“The Embassy of Malaysia in Washington is actively coordinating efforts with local authorities to obtain further information,“ it said.
