However, the minister said foreign sailors must carry the relevant documentation including their Seaman Card / Discharge Book, during their stay here. “They only have to sign off at the port or quay, board the relevant transportation vehicle to the airport, and fly off from there. What is not permitted, however, is to stay in hotels or visit the city to do shopping and such,” he said.“This is because the countries from which many house maids working in Malaysia are from still remain classified as high-risk. But the issue is discussed from time to time, and will be publicly announced if any updates occur,” he said.
