KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians residing in or travelling to the United Kingdom are advised to register with the Malaysian High Commission in London due to the ongoing protests in various areas of the country.

The High Commission advised Malaysians visiting the United Kingdom for less than one month to email the High Commission at lonmalaysian@kln.gov.my.

The email should include the visitor’s last day in the United Kingdom followed by the name in the format YYYYMMDD NAME (e.g. 20240805 ABU BIN ALI if the last day is Aug 5, 2024, and the name is Abu bin Ali).

It added the email should include the names of any accompanying family members, MyKAD number, passport number, UK address, contact number, and duration of stay in the United Kingdom, Bernama reported.

“For those residing in or visiting the United Kingdom for more than one month, register your presence via the Foreign Affairs Ministry’s e-Konsular service via a webpage or mobile app.

“For students, registration can be done through the Higher Education Ministry’s registration platform at https://dohe.mohe.gov.my/mydata/login,” it added.

Malaysians in the United Kingdom who have already registered on the TalentCorp MyHeart portal are considered to have registered with the High Commission and no further action is required.

According to media reports, UK authorities are facing growing pressure to end the worst rioting in the country in 13 years, which was triggered by a stabbing attack in Southport on July 29.
