澳大利亚政府今天（本月21号）提醒本国游客，马来西亚吉隆坡等地可能会发生恐怖袭击。

根据已公布的信息来看，恐怖分子主要是针对西方游客的。但是炸弹又不长眼睛。新加坡和马来西亚近，近期要去吉隆坡（包括马来西亚其它大城市，新加坡的朋友们去新山尤其多）的朋友们，请高度注意。尤其娱乐等热闹场所，大家就尽量多回避。

真是城门失火，殃及池鱼。

去东沙巴等沿海区域的，也务必多加小心。结合2013年东沙巴发生过恐怖袭击事件”台灣夫妻赴邦邦島度假，一死一失蹤，被擄走的張姓婦人“，这个地方陆海形势都比较复杂。

当年台湾游客在沙巴遇袭，台湾电视新闻的截图，讨论当时欧美国家已经预警，但是台湾外交部门调低了警戒，也就是说台湾政府有点”轻敌“。

 

Latest advice, 21 Feb 2016

Terrorists may be planning attacks in and around Kuala Lumpur. Attacks could be indiscriminate and may target Western interests or locations frequented by Westerners. You should be particularly vigilant at this time. The level of advice has not changed. We continue to advise Australians to reconsider the need to travel to the coastal region of eastern Sabah, and to exercise normal security precautions in Malaysia overall.

Summary

• We advise you to exercise normal safety precautions in Malaysia overall. Exercise common sense and look out for suspicious behaviour, as you would in Australia.
• Terrorists may be planning attacks in and around Kuala Lumpur. Attacks could be indiscriminate and may target Western interests or locations frequented by Westerners. You should be particularly vigilant at this time.
• There is an ongoing threat of terrorism in Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur and other major cities. Attacks could be indiscriminate and may affect locations frequented by Westerners. Malaysian authorities have made a number of arrests of persons allegedly involved in planning attacks, including against entertainment venues in Kuala Lumpur. SeeSafety and security.
• Australians should avoid all travel to the coastal resorts of eastern Sabah, including the islands, dive sites and associated tourist facilities owing to the continuing high threat of kidnapping, and as such you should reconsider your need to travel to the area. The risk of kidnapping increases on the water and waterfront after nightfall. Information indicates there is a continuing threat of attacks by armed insurgents in or around the coastal regions of eastern Sabah.
• The kidnapping threat is highest in the area between the towns of Sandakan and Tawau due to its proximity to the Sulu archipelago in the southern Philippines.
• Smoke haze across some parts of Malaysia including Kuala Lumpur is usual from June to October but can occur at any time of the year. When haze levels are high the Malaysian authorities recommend limiting outdoor activity. There has been a significant increase in cases of dengue fever throughout 2015 and this trend is expected to continue in 2016. See Health section.
• If you are intending to travel overland from Malaysia to Thailand, you should also read the travel advice for Thailand which recommends that Australians do not travel to or through the far southern Thai provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla.
• Australians visiting Malaysia on business should see our Advice to Australian business travellers.
