No security incidents during 46th Asean Summit, says Bukit Aman
KUALA LUMPUR: The 46th Asean Summit and Related Meetings, held from May 22 until May 27 in the capital, concluded smoothly without any security incidents.
Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order deputy director (operations) Deputy Comm MV Sri Kumar said the smooth security arrangements for all heads of state, delegations, and staff were made possible through the close cooperation of all parties, particularly the Foreign Ministry and other relevant agencies.
'The movement of heads of state and delegations to and from the conference venue went according to plan. Security arrangements for all parties throughout the summit were also well-executed,' he said when contacted Wednesday (May 28).
He added that the phased road closures around hotels accommodating the delegations and the conference venue were implemented smoothly, with strong cooperation from the public.
Media previously reported that nearly 6,200 PDRM officers and personnel were deployed during the summit period to ensure comprehensive security coverage.
The phased road closures, which began on May 23, involved six highways and 25 main roads across the Klang Valley to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of delegations.
The 46th Asean Summit was held under Malaysia's 2025 chairmanship, themed "Inclusion and Sustainability". - Bernama

MOHE ready to help Malaysian students in Iran secure local university placement
KUANTAN: The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) is ready to assist Malaysian students in Iran with placement at local institutions should they choose to return home. Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir said the ministry would help place them in local institutions of higher learning based on the academic programmes they are currently pursuing. 'They are Malaysian citizens, and in situations like this, it is our duty to extend assistance to those in need,' he told reporters after opening the Paya Besar UMNO Division delegates meeting at Awangan Palace here today. Asked about news reports concerning four Malaysian students in Iran who are unwilling to return, he said that while efforts had been made to offer assistance, no action could be taken if the students chose to stay. 'We cannot do anything if they do not wish to come back. However, if they change their minds, we are ready to help,' he said. Zambry said MOHE continues to work closely with the Foreign Ministry to safeguard the welfare of Malaysians abroad, particularly during times of crisis. It was reported yesterday that the Foreign Ministry was finalising its efforts to repatriate Malaysian citizens and their family members from Iran amid the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict.
