In July 2024, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that Israeli citizens found in the country would be deported, emphasizing Malaysia's firm stance on immigration policies.

Balaji Srinivasan, founder of the Network School, sought an audience with the prime minister to address concerns over Malaysia's investment climate.
