PUTRAJAYA, July 5 — Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail today announced new measures at Malaysia’s entry points nationwide, in response to allegations of corruption by immigration officers handling foreign visitors at KLIA’s Terminal 1.
Starting now, only senior immigration personnel with an officer grade of KP41 and above will be authorised to determine if a foreign visitor should be denied entry, when this could previously be decided by junior enforcers with a KP29 officer grade. Saifuddin said the Cabinet has also agreed to his ministry’s suggestion to station translators at the help desks for visitors at the country’s main entry points to assist travellers who face difficulty communicating with authorities.
