The government today urged foreign envoys not to be paranoid as it sought to refute renewed warnings by the US and other Western countries of possible terrorist attacks here.

Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said advisories warning against travel to Malaysia were "unjustifiable" given the absence of credible evidence to back the terror alerts.

"We deeply regret the issuance of such travel advisories because it does not reflect, in our view, the genuine security situation in Malaysia nor the reality o­n the ground here," he told some 50 top diplomats.
