ME in Malaysia warns against fake social media pages using its name

A Myanmar version statement of the Myanmar Embassy to Malaysia.

Social media pages which found misusing the embassy status don’t concern it, said the Myanmar Embassy in Malaysia.
The embassy has found that there are social media pages called “Malaysia Embassy Daw Nweni” and “Kuala Lumpur Myanmar passport service” and so on, and they have also misused the Myanmar foreign affairs ministry’s logo; however, they don’t concern the embassy at all, it said in a statement on 4 July.
Further, the Myanmar Embassy is neither responsible nor accountable for the following issues related to them, it said. Myanmar Embassy in Kuala Lumpur has provided passport extension, replacement of lost passports, passport renewal and C of I services for Myanmar nationals, completed in a day by appointment system, in line with official directives and procedures.
Here are contacts to the embassy, 289, Jalan Ampang Hilir,55000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and website address, www.myanmarembassykl.org, as well as WhatsApp, it said. — MT/ZS/ED
