KUALA LUMPUR: The Foreign Ministry has confirmed that no Malaysians perished in the Halloween stampede in Seoul last Saturday.
One Malaysian female, who was injured during the deadly surge in Itaewon, received outpatient treatment at Joogang University Hospital in Seoul, and her condition has been reported as stable, said Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah.
The Malaysian Embassy has since contacted her parents and provided assistance in their travel arrangements to Seoul.
“The Embassy will continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates from time to time,” he said in a statement.
Malaysians who were affected by the incident and in need of consular assistance have been advised to contact the embassy in Seoul by telephone at 00(822) 795 9203 / 2077-8600, +82 010 8974 8699 (emergency line after 5pm or on public holidays), or by email at mwseoul@kln.gov.my.
