Speaking to media prior to the departure, Mohamed Shaheem revealed he will meet the Maldivian families residing in Malaysia and Maldivians studying in the country during his four day trip. Shaheem further noted individual meetings will be held, in addition to a function with Maldivians in Malaysia.
