A Singaporean newspaper has reported that over 300 Chinese people have travelled through Malaysia recently in order to join ISIS.
According to the Strait times, this information was released by Malaysian Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi on Wednesday. He said that extremists would travel from Malaysia to a third country before finally arriving in ISIS-occupied areas of Syria and Iraq.
The situation apparently came to light during a meeting between Home Minister Hamidi and China’s Vice-Minister of Public Security Meng Hongwei on Wednesday.
Kuala Lumpur and Beijing will now work together closely to combat any potential ‘jihadi migration’ and discuss more comprehensive measures to curb it.
The news comes after two Uyghur nationals were shot while attempting to cross the border into Vietnam and just last week, ten Turkish citizens were reportedly arrested for attempting to smuggle Chinese Uyghurs out of the country.
