ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia: The Government is considering a proposal to allow only passengers into terminals at all major airports in Malaysia in order to raise the security level.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the Cabinet, in its meeting on Wednesday, proposed that only passengers be allowed at the check-in counters while those sending them off should be outside the building or allowed to be at a particular place.
