But the government has this week raised the alert on a 'heightened' threats of terrorism due to growing global political tensions, specifically the current conflict in Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territories.
'The current conflict in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories has led to heightened tensions around the world. Terrorist groups such as Al-Qaida and Daesh, have called on their supporters to carry out terrorist attacks in response to the conflict. The conflict could also motivate individuals to carry out attacks.' In addition, The US Embassy has advised their citizens to avoid the Arugam Bay area, a popular surfing destination for visitors, until further notice.
