Teenager Muhammad Shafqat Ali walking back along the Causeway to Singapore after being denied entry into Malaysia for failing to undergo a Covid-19 test. He had earlier been told by MM2H the test could be done in Malaysia.
An e-mail sent by the MM2H Centre in Putrajaya to Muhammad, which was sighted by FMT, said he could “return to Malaysia and undertake the swab test upon arrival at the entry point”. “Everything seemed to be in order and I had multiple confirmations that I could cross, even on the day I was travelling. But when the immigration officers said they couldn’t allow me in… I just felt deflated.
The teenager, who has been in Malaysia ever since he was born, returned to Singapore on March 16 to enlist for National Service on March 24. The email by MM2H to Muhammad on Wednesday said he could return to Malaysia and undertake the swab test upon arrival at the entry point as “this was announced by a senior minister on 16 June 2020”.
