Location: Near U.S. Embassy Kuala Lumpur
Event: Ongoing Demonstrations near U.S. Embassy Kuala Lumpur
Recently, there have been frequent demonstrations near the U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur protesting U.S. foreign policy. We anticipate these demonstrations will continue and recommend that U.S. citizens be vigilant and monitor local media for updates.
There is no indication at this time that these demonstrations will turn violent, but as with any large gathering, tensions can escalate unexpectedly and with little warning. U.S. citizens should exercise caution and avoid protest areas. Please note it is illegal for non-Malaysians to participate in demonstrations in Malaysia.
U.S. citizens are urged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP ) to receive security alerts.
Actions to Take:
- Avoid demonstrations and crowds.
- Monitor local media for updates.
- Be aware of your surroundings.
