Govt reiterates it will only bear costs to quarantine Malaysian citizens returning from abroad

PUTRAJAYA: The government has reiterated that it is only footing the bill for Malaysian citizens from overseas to undergo compulsory quarantine upon their return to the country.

Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, however, said that non-Malaysians, including the spouses of citizens, needed to bear the costs themselves.
