KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 — As tensions rise in the United Kingdom amid ongoing protests in various parts of the country, the High Commission of Malaysia of London today issued a statement advising Malaysians to register with it.
The measure was to ensure they receive timely information and assistance, the Foreign Ministry said yesterday when it issued an urgent notice to Malaysians in the UK.
The ministry also yesterday urged Malaysians to stay away from protest areas, remain vigilant and follow the latest updates and guidance provided by local authorities.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on the registration process:
Those staying in the UK for less than one month
- Email the High Commission at [email protected].
- Under email subject, include the visitor’s last day in the UK followed by his/her name in the “YYYYMMDD NAME” format — For example, 20240805 ABU BIN ALI if the last day is August 5, 2024, and the name is Abu bin Ali.
- In the body of the email, include the names of any accompanying family members, their NRIC and passport numbers, UK address, contact number and duration of stay in the UK.
