A demonstration is planned near the U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur on June 27, 2025. The event is scheduled to take place at 2:00 p.m. in front of the Menara See Hoy Chan building, located at 374, Jalan Tun Razak. The U.S. Embassy has advised American citizens to monitor local media for updates and expects that traffic around the embassy will be affected due to the demonstration.
The embassy's front entrance will be closed to pedestrian traffic starting at noon on June 27 until the demonstration concludes. Although there is no current indication that the protest will turn violent, the U.S. Embassy has reminded its citizens that protests can change rapidly and without warning.
The embassy also noted that it is illegal for non-Malaysians to participate in demonstrations in Malaysia. They have issued several recommendations for safety, including avoiding areas where demonstrators gather, staying away from crowds and demonstrations, and being aware of one's surroundings.
For assistance, individuals can contact the U.S. Embassy Kuala Lumpur via phone or email or visit their website for more information. The State Department’s Consular Affairs can also be reached for further guidance.
