Government's urgent warning for expatriates in Malaysia

In a Facebook post on Saturday (August 29), the High Commission urged expatriates to abide by local laws, workplace policies, cyber laws, and social and cultural values.

It asked them to be cautious of unknown links or messages, verify authenticity before sharing information or photos, and refrain from suspicious online activities.

Additionally, they were instructed not to spread terrorism, extremism, rumors, fake information, and hate speech, and not to participate in political or online campaigns that violate local laws.

Besides, it advised against publishing photos or videos of workplaces, airports, ports and government installations, sharing personal information such as passport-visa and bank details on social media, and falling for the lure of fake jobs, illegal visas or suspicious investments.
