(Kuala Lumpur, 30th) As schools in Qatar are set to resume on Sunday, the Malaysian Embassy in Doha reminds Malaysians residing there to continue adhering to the safety instructions and guidelines issued by Qatari authorities.
The embassy posted on Facebook yesterday, stating that compliance with relevant regulations is crucial to ensuring student safety and creating a secure learning environment.
"With the reopening of schools, all Malaysian citizens in Qatar must abide by the instructions and safety guidelines set by the Qatari authorities."
The embassy noted that the situation in Qatar is currently calm and under control, with most daily activities gradually returning to normal.
"Nevertheless, all Malaysian citizens in Qatar must remain vigilant and closely monitor the development of the surrounding situation."
Additionally, the embassy also reminded Malaysians in Qatar to keep a close eye on the latest flight schedules when planning their trips, as commercial flights may still experience some changes.
"Please follow all instructions issued by Qatari authorities, and do not photograph or disseminate information related to security incidents, as doing so is considered illegal under Qatari law."
For those requiring assistance or information on affected Malaysians, you may contact the embassy hotline at +974 3374 6733 / +974 4483 6463, or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Operations Room in Putrajaya at +603 8887 4570, or email [email protected].
According to reports from the Qatar News Agency, Qatar’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education announced last week that all educational institutions in the country would resume face-to-face teaching in phases from March 24, and schools and kindergartens would fully resume in-person teaching from March 29.
The country had earlier announced on February 28 that, starting March 1, all kindergartens, government and private schools, education centers, and universities nationwide would switch to online teaching as a precautionary and organizational measure.
