Malaysian evacuated from Bangladesh

The Malaysian government has announced an evacuation plan for all citizens in Bangladesh, particularly focusing on the safety of 124 Malaysian students amidst escalating violence due to nationwide protests. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim emphasized the government's commitment to repatriating Malaysians, revealing that arrangements are in place for a special AirAsia flight, which is scheduled to arrive at Dhaka's airport at 10 AM local time. Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan confirmed that security measures are being coordinated with the Bangladesh government to ensure safe transportation to the airport. The protests in Bangladesh have resulted in a significant increase in violence, with recent reports indicating at least 151 fatalities. The decision follows a detailed assessment of the situation, which was initially deemed stable but later worsened, prompting immediate action. This evacuation marks a response to rising tensions that have seen other countries, such as India, already evacuating their citizens.
