KUALA LUMPUR — Bomb threats were issued against several international schools nationwide, according to police officials today.

Although authorities suspect these to be hoaxes, the international schools still had to be evacuated under existing security protocols.

As reported by The Star, the threats were made anonymously via email to schools in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, but other threats were also believed to have been issued against schools in other states.
