Vietnam strongly condemns all actions that harm the bodies and lives
of Vietnamese citizens, Deputy Spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry
Pham Thu Hang said on October 31 regarding the Vietnamese citizen who
was attacked in Malaysia.
She said the
Vietnamese Embassy in Malaysia reported that on October 29 Malaysian
authorised agencies confirmed the detention of three suspects involved
in the case. The victim was sent to hospital for treatment and was asked
to cooperate with local police during their investigation.
Vietnam urged Malaysia’s agencies to implement measures to
protect the legitimate rights and interests of Vietnamese citizens in
the country and strictly punish culprits, Hang said.
