Malaysians in Cambodia must update their embassy details and avoid travel to five provinces near the Thai border due to rising military tensions.
PHNOM PENH: The Malaysian Embassy in Cambodia has urged all Malaysians in the country to register and update their personal details.
In a Facebook post, the embassy stated that accurate records are vital for delivering official information and consular services during emergencies.
“This information update exercise is important to facilitate the embassy to streamline the delivery of official information, the management of consular services and related measures,” the embassy said.
It noted that many Malaysians had moved or left Cambodia in recent years without updating their information.
The embassy also advised Malaysians to avoid non-essential travel to five provinces: Preah Vihear, Oddar Meanchey, Banteay Meanchey, Battambang and Pursat.
These advisories come amid rising border tensions between Cambodia and Thailand following military confrontations.
“Malaysian citizens in Cambodia are advised to stay informed through reliable news sources and adhere strictly to instructions and advisories, if any, issued by the local authorities and government agencies,” the advisory notice stated.
For assistance, Malaysians can email mwphnompenh@kln.gov.my or contact the 24-hour hotline at +855 12 216 176.
More information is available on the embassy’s website.
