“Those who are affected by this incident are advised to report to the High Commission of Malaysia in London,” it said, in a brief statement.
Earlier this morning, it was reported that at least 19 people were killed and more than 50 injured in a suspected terrorist attack at the end of a pop concert by American singer Ariana Grande in Manchester.
Police are looking at the likelihood of a suicide bomber being involved in the blast, which took place near the ticketing office inside the venue.
While no one has claimed responsibility over the blast, Islamic State (IS) supporters have celebrated the attack on social media.
Twitter accounts affiliated to IS, according to Reuters, have been using hashtags referring to the blast to post celebratory messages, with some encouraging similar attacks elsewhere.
The militant Islamist group however, has not formally claimed responsibility.
Condolences have been pouring in since the attack, with opposition leader Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail labelling it as “heinous, vile and must be condemned by all”.
“I pray that those behind this attack will be swiftly identified, apprehended and brought to justice,” the PKR president said in a short statement.
Meanwhile, the higher education ministry also released a statement on the tragedy, confirming that no Malaysian students were injured in the blast.
The ministry said it had been officially notified on the matter by Education Malaysia United Kingdom & Ireland (Emuke).
According to The Star, Emuke had sent out Facebook and WhatsApp messages to all student associations in Manchester and surrounding areas to check on Malaysian students.
The ministry also said there are 1,303 Malaysian students studying in three main universities in the city of Manchester, namely University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University and University of Salford.
