Bomb threats hit several international schools in Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 21 — Bomb threats were issued against several international schools nationwide, according to police officials today.
Although authorities suspect these to be hoaxes, the international schools still had to be evacuated under existing security protocols.
The threats were made anonymously via email to schools in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, but other threats were also believed to have been issued against schools in other states.
“A total of seven schools received bomb threats in Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Kajang, Kuala Langat, and Subang Jaya. We are investigating the matter now but we do believe that it is a hoax,” Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Hussein Omar Khan was quoted as saying by The Star.
