M’sians in UK urged to stay vigilant amid riots


PETALING JAYA: Malaysians residing in the United Kingdom or travelling to the country have been advised to stay away from areas affected by protests over the stabbing incident in Southport.

Wisma Putra urged Malaysians to remain vigilant and follow the latest updates as well as guidance provided by local authorities.

“Malaysians who have not yet registered with the Malaysian High Commission in London are strongly encouraged to do so immediately to ensure they receive timely information and assistance,” said the Foreign Ministry in a statement yesterday.

According to reports, rioting erupted in several UK cities, linked to a mass stabbing last Monday that resulted in the death of three young girls.

A 17-year-old has been charged with murdering the three girls, who were stabbed at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport.

The teenager, identified as Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, is also facing 10 counts of attempted murder after eight other children and two adults were seriously injured in the attack.

Wisma Putra said Malaysians requiring consular assistance could reach the Malaysian High Commission in London, located at 45-46 Belgrave Square.

The High Commission can also be contacted at +44 20 3931 6196/+44 20 7235 8033 or by email at mwlondon@kln.gov.my.
