Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman said the AirAsia aircraft, which would depart from Malaysia Wednesday afternoon, could accommodate 249 passengers. Speaking at a press conference here, he advised parents with children in Egypt not to worry as the Government was doing its best to protect Malaysians there.

“The Government is also working closely with the Indonesian and Bruneian governments in the evacuation process. “For example, Garuda is already at Cairo airport and if they have extra seats, they could take in the Malaysians stranded at the airport,” he added.

There are 11,000 Malaysian students in Egypt.

Meanwhile, Malaysia Airlines (MAS) managing director and chief executive officer Tengku Datuk Seri Azmil Zahruddin said a MAS aircraft would leave for Cairo Thursday morning.

Meanwhile, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the operation to evacuate Malaysian students stranded in Egypt was expected to take four days.He said 30 personnel from the Armed Forces and a further 30 from other government agencies including Wisma Putra would be involved in the evacuation operation.

Zahid also called on non-governmental organisations to assist the Government in the evacuation operation. He also said the Saudi Arabian government has issued temporary visas for the students leaving for Jeddah. “They will be placed at the Tabung Haji complex in Jeddah as a temporary measure,” he added.
