KUALA LUMPUR: From petty theft to accidents, Malaysian travellers abroad have been urged to treat safety as a top priority, with experts and seasoned travellers stressing the importance of preparation, insurance and knowing where to turn to for help in emergencies.
Johor Tourism Association deputy chairman Chua Poh Kok recalled the December 2015 tragedy in Chiang Mai, Thailand, when 13 Malaysians died after their bus collided with a pickup truck and plunged off the road.
