Govt allows non-Malaysian spouses, children to return, but with immigration approval

PETALING JAYA: The government has allowed non-Malaysian spouses and their children who are stranded overseas to enter the country, but they must first obtain permission from the Immigration Department.

Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the government not only allowed Malaysian citizens to return to the country, but also their non-citizen spouses and children, after some of them could not do so due to border restrictions.
