Malaysia Information and Advice from Smart Traveller

Exercise caution and monitor developments that might affect your safety in Malaysia because of the risk of terrorist attack.

Pay close attention to your personal security and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks.   

Reconsider your need to travel to the islands, dive sites and coastal areas of Eastern Sabah because of the high threat of kidnapping by terrorists and criminals. In the past, terrorists have kidnapped foreigners from coastal areas of Eastern Sabah, the islands and surrounding waters. If you do decide to travel to this region, you should exercise extreme caution.

If you are intending to travel overland from Malaysia to Thailand, read the travel advice for Thailand which recommends that Australians do not travel to the far southern Thai provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla, including overland travel from and to the Malaysian border through these provinces.
