KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 14 — A security warning issued by the government of Japan through its embassies in Southeast Asian countries was based on a media platform and did not have solid grounds, said Senior Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hishammuddin said from Malaysian Armed Forces intelligence, he confirmed the warning is not something to be worried about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn fact, the Inspector-General of Police (Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani) had issued a statement that the warning was unfounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will see Wisma Putra and asked about the grounds the Japanese government issued the warning,\u201d he said in a special media conference of COVID-19 Quartet Ministers at\u00a0Parliament building here today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, the Royal Malaysia Police did not detect or receive any information on security threats at\u00a0houses of\u00a0worship or crowded places in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, the Japanese Embassy here confirmed issuing a warning to its citizens in Malaysia on the possibility of a terrorist attack on places of worship or popular public areas in several Southeast Asian countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, the Foreign Ministry of Japan had advised all its citizens in\u00a0Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and\u00a0Myanmar to avoid going near religious facilities or crowded spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warning which quoted intelligence reports alerted the possibility of attacks at places of worship and crowded centers in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are about 31,000 Japanese nationals residing in Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
