Malaysia Saturday criticised the United States for a safety warning to Americans in the country, saying security nationwide is adequate and ruling out fears that it will hurt foreign tourist arrivals. The US said Friday it was concerned about the safety of its citizens in Malaysia, warning they could fall prey to Southeast Asian terror groups. It stressed extra caution to American citizens in the troubled eastern Malaysia state of Sabah on Borneo Island. Shafie Apdal, deputy defence minister told AFP that the new travel advisory was unwarranted since security was under control, even in Sabah.
