CURRENT SITUATION IN BANGLADESH

CURRENT SITUATION IN BANGLADESH

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through the High Commission of Malaysia in Dhaka, is actively monitoring the situation following student protests in Bangladesh. Despite challenges including widespread telecommunications disruptions, the High Commission is actively coordinating with local authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of all Malaysians in the country.

Following the onset of protests, Malaysian students in Dhaka were instructed to gather at the High Commission for safety and further directives. These students were those from local educational institutions in Dhaka who were affected by the unrest. Officials from the High Commission had early engagements with these students to assess their needs and provide immediate assistance.

In response to the evolving situation, the High Commission is exploring possible solutions including assisting travel arrangements to return to Malaysia and temporary shelters.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to urge all Malaysians residing in Bangladesh to stay away from protest areas, remain vigilant and follow all safety advice and updates provided by local authorities. The Ministry is committed to ensuring the safety of Malaysians abroad and will strive to keep the public informed of any recent developments.
