All clear at Melaka airport after bomb scare

Aug 16, 2016

The police have given the all-clear, following a bomb scare at Melaka's international airport. 

According to the police, the alert was raised after a check-in employee claimed that several Indonesian passengers had liquid explosives in their luggage.

However, it turned out to be a false alarm, as the employee had misunderstood the foreigners.

The scare caused a flight to Pekan Baru, Indonesia to be delayed for two hours, as security checks were made.
