Malaysia is first country to issue ‘do not travel to UK' warning over riots

Malaysia has become the first country to issue a safety warning to its citizens about travel to the UK due to anti-immigration protests and riots.

The south-east Asian country’s ministry of foreign affairs published an alert on Sunday advising Malaysians living in or visiting the UK to “stay away” from protest areas and “remain vigilant”.

Coincidentally, a friend of mind’s grandfather was Malaysian and she was already scared to go out. I’m definitely not sending this to her.

Probably not an unreasonable fear at the moment?

It’s all understandable - although the violence is relatively isolated, I imagine it can be tense on the streets at the moment. So I can see why anyone would be worried, especially if you are a woman of colour. I’m not sending her that report because I don’t want to add to her anxiety at this time.

I’d thoroughly agree with this. Heck, I’m a white British male and these riots make me fearful. Fuck this whole situation, man.

Nothing

No

Considering that a whole bunch of EDL supporters and adjacent groups are involved, making brown people feel unwelcome in the country is absolutely the goal

what do they think they’re going to accomplish?

Smash stuff up, scare minorities. I don’t think they have put much thought into it.

If I’m only taking the word of commenters in the news and social media, the videos of people interviewed… It’s “Immigrants”.

That depends on what they consider an immigrant, which very often extends to anyone non-white.

On look, they were targeting Filipino nurses too.

what do they think they’re going to accomplish?

Terrorism.

What an absolute embarassment.

Parry shield. I wonder what the riposte animation is like (probably smol club).

apotheotic ,

Is there any outlet providing aggregated information about all the riots so far? I’d like to find out more but naturally " UK riots" just brings up the most recent event because of how media works

boyi ,

Why do they have to spin the story?

Newspaper Title:

Do not travel to UK

The Exact Malaysia Travel advice:

Malaysians residing in or travelling to the United Kingdom are urged to stay away from protest areas, remain vigilant and follow the latest updates and guidance provided by local authorities.”
