KUALA LUMPUR – A number of international schools have allegedly received security threats, leading to certain institutions contacting the police and evacuating their premises.

According to a circular issued by one of the affected schools in the Klang Valley, it has closed for the day as a precautionary measure. 

“As a precaution, we have decided that we are going to close our school early. We have been watching the situation with other schools and spoken to the police. I feel this is the best course of action, although the police have not said we have to (close the school). 

“We still believe this is a hoax, but are acting with safety as our priority,” said the circular sighted by Scoop. 

The circular added that parents are required to collect their children as soon as possible. 

In a separate message shared with Scoop, an individual claimed that several international schools in Malaysia received an anonymous email this morning, suggesting a safety issue at the institutions. 

The message added that police are on site to provide guidance during the evacuation. 

Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan and Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Allaudeen Abdul Majid have since reportedly confirmed receiving reports on bomb threats against nine international schools.

The cops were quoted as saying that two reports each were received from schools in Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and Wangsa Maju while institutes in Kajang, Subang Jaya and Kuala Langat each lodged one report.

They added that police are investigating the threats. – November 21, 2023
