Accommodation & building safety
Inspect short-term lodgings for visible structural damage, clear exits, and secure windows; avoid staying in buildings with debris or visible cracks.
Local reporting shows debris remains and risky buildings are still occupied a month after the Saidulajab collapse, raising the risk of further structural failures.
Payments & fraud
Prefer card or verified payment platforms, confirm merchant identities, and refuse unsolicited calls requesting payments or OTPs.
Police recently arrested members of a syndicate using malware and impersonation to steal funds, indicating active cyber-fraud schemes in the region.
