TROPICAL STORM FUNG-WONG

TROPICAL STORM FUNG-WONG

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through the Embassy of Malaysia in Manila, is closely monitoring Tropical Storm Fung-Wong (locally known as Uwan), which is expected to enter the Philippine Areas of Responsibility on Friday, 7 November 2025.

The storm currently carries maximum sustained winds of 75 kilometer per hour (km/h) near the centre and gustiness of up to 90 km/h, while moving northwestward at 10 km/h. The state weather bureau also maintained its forecast that the storm may reach the super typhoon category by Saturday, 8 November 2025 and start closing in on the country, with bad weather expected to fully begin by Sunday, 9 November 2025. Earlier, Typhoon Kamaelgi (locally known as Typhoon Tino) made landfall in the Visayas Region of the Philippines on 4 November 2025, resulting in widespread flooding and numerous casualties, injuries, and displacements of hundreds of families. The Government of the Philippines declared a national state of emergency on 6 November 2025 following the extensive destruction caused by Typhoon Kamaelgi. This measure will enable government agencies to access emergency funds more rapidly and expedite the procurement of relief supplies as the nation prepares for Fung-Wong.

Malaysia extends its deepest condolences and sympathies to the Government and people of the Philippines, especially the victims and families affected by the calamity.

To date, there have been no reports of Malaysians affected by the calamities. Malaysians residing in affected areas are advised to remain vigilant and adhere to the latest guidance issued by local authorities.
