Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob has urged Pahang students in Egypt to take precautionary measures and not venture into 'sensitive areas.'
The Egyptian military yesterday ousted President Mohamed Morsi after a week of tension that left 50 people killed when millions of people protested and demanded his resignation, one year after he came to power.
Adnan said a total of 680 Pahang students are studying in Egypt and 160 of them are sponsored by the Pahang Foundation, mostly in Cairo.
"Recently, I was told by a student there that they did stock up food for the past two weeks," he told reporters after receiving a courtesy call from representatives of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, led by diplomatic officer, Assayyid Hamid Muhammad Abdullah At-Tamimi here today.
The representatives delivered 1,000 copies of the Quran and 3,600 kg dates to the Pahang government for distribution in mosques and surau in the state throughout Ramadan.
In Kuala Lumpur, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said the ouster of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi should serve as a lesson to Malaysians and the government.
He said the hatred and divisiveness of certain groups who wished merely to change the country's leadership caused many people to be killed and weakened the economy.
"I am grateful that because of the wisdom of our leadership and sanity of people of different races and religions in this country, we don't face problems such as those in Egypt," he told a press conference at parliament lobby here today.
