Malaysians denied passage into South Korea due to entry discrepancies

PETALING JAYA: The recent cases of Malaysians being denied passage into South Korea were due to discrepancies in their stated purpose of entry into the country, says Wisma Putra.

Such denial of entry often came about when there had been discrepancies between the stated purpose of entry on the immigration forms and the responses provided by Malaysian travellers during brief interviews at the immigration counters and, in some cases, in a dedicated interview room, said the Foreign Ministry.
