Foreign minister Mohamad Hasan also advised Malaysians there to be careful and not to visit risky areas, following recent reports of cross-border attacks.

“Malaysians there, especially students, are advised to avoid visiting dangerous places, especially in Kashmir, and cancel their trips there. So far, no Malaysians have been affected,” Bernama reported him as saying in Seremban today.

Mohamad, who is also the Rembau MP, said Malaysia called on India and Pakistan to immediately stop escalating tensions there.

He said Wisma Putra had also informed the government that it was closely following the latest developments on the increase in tensions between the two neighbours, and urged both countries to remain calm.

“We are concerned about this situation, especially shooting incidents using drones and rockets.

“I hope the leaders of these two countries can think of the bigger picture,” he said.
