KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced a slate of new measures that will be introduced at the country’s entry points following an incident of alleged corruption tow
towards a Chinese traveller at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport .
"We will have a help desk that will appoint … an officer who can communicate in foreign languages, especially Mandarin, English, Arabic Tamil,” he said. “So a clearer picture of this shows that if such restrictions are imposed, there must be a reason to it,” he said. “This causes confusion because when a person who is subject to NTL is asked to provide a certain amount of money for the purpose of buying a ticket, sometimes ... it is mistaken as an immigration officer asking for money,” said Mr Saifuddin.
Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Tiong King Sing was said to have barged into the arrival hall without applying for a security pass, with the incident going viral on social media.
