The first group of 131 Malaysians reportedly stranded in Yemen since March following the Covid-19 pandemic, arrived safely at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) via a specially chartered Egypt Air flight on Sunday morning.
Malaysian Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Kamarudin Jaffar said the second group of 17 people was scheduled to arrive tomorrow via an Emirates commercial flight at 12.55am.
He said the journey of all 148 Malaysians started yesterday with flights from Seiyoun, Yemen to Cairo, Egypt before continuing in two separate flights to Malaysia.
“The Malaysians from Yemen comprised of private students who expressed their desire to return following the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, and students who have graduated,” he added in a statement.
