The Myanmar government is arranging more security for State Counsellor and Foreign Affairs Minister Aung San Suu Kyi after her name appeared on a letter titled "IS threat" sent to a provincial police station in Malaysia.

Her name was listed along with those of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the attorney general, inspector general of police, and three ministers.

The list was sent on 2 August to the police station in the town of Nilai in the Seremban district of Sembilan state on the western coast of peninsular Malaysia, according to Malaysian media reports.

The letter also claimed there were about 700 ISIS militants in Negri Sembilan but police have dismissed the claim.

Commenting on the latest threat letter sent to the Nilai police station, the Inspector General of Policetold Malaysian media the Negri Sembilan police had received at least four similar letters recently.
