WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY?

In an emergency, international students in Malaysia should first ensure they are in a safe and secure location. Once safe, call the Malaysia Emergency Response Services (MERS) at 999 or report the situation to the nearest local authority. After contacting emergency services, inform your university or supervisor about the incident. This allows your institution to provide additional support and keep track of the situation. Remember, prioritising your safety and keeping your school informed are crucial steps during an emergency.
