PUTRAJAYA: The Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) has not received any information regarding Malaysian students affected by the attack in Golok, Thailand, on March 8.
Its minister, Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, said the ministry was closely monitoring developments in South Thailand.
"So far, we have no information on whether any of our students have been affected, either in terms of injuries or as victims of the attack," he told the media after breaking fast with ministry staff here today.
He said most Malaysian students in South Thailand pursue religious studies independently.
Two volunteer police officers were reported killed, while eight others were injured in the March 8 attack, prompting Wisma Putra to urge all Malaysians to postpone any non-essential travel to Yala, Narathiwat, and Pattani for the time being.
In a separate matter, Zambry said four Malaysian students injured in a vehicle crash on March 8 were reported to be in stable condition, while another remained under hospital observation.
"I have been receiving daily updates, and I have instructed Education Malaysia Jordan to provide me with a report every day," he said, adding that the ministry had yet to receive information on the students' return as doctors were still monitoring their condition.– Bernama
