"Wisma Putra needs to always watch the development of this incident from time to time and, if necessary, take action to evacuate Malaysians from any places at risk of a war breaking out.
"I would like to advise Malaysians to avoid going to high-risk places, be it Iran or any nearby countries,” he said after attending Tupong assemblyman Fazzrudin Abdul Rahman's Aidilfitri open house here on Sunday (April 14).
