KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians are advised to avoid non-essential travel to Algeria and Tunisia following ongoing regional tensions and a significant reduction in flight services to both countries. The Embassy of Malaysia in Algiers said Malaysians who are considering travel to Algeria and Tunisia should thoughtfully reschedule their plans until conditions improve and safe travel can be assured. The embassy also urged Malaysians who have not yet registered their whereabouts in Algeria and Tunisia with the embassy to notify the mission by sending an email to mwalgiers@kln.gov.my. Malaysians are urged to remain vigilant and stay informed about the latest developments in the region. "We strongly recommend avoiding all non-essential travel to the affected countries until the situation stabilises and becomes more favourable for travel," it said.
