Malaysians living in or traveling to Hong Kong and Macao are advised to stay indoors during the T8 or higher Tropical Cyclone Signal, stock up on food and essential supplies, and avoid going near shorelines.

“Those with travel plans are also urged to check with their airlines for updates on revised flight schedules,” the consulate said in a statement today.
