Time to end this travel requirement?


THE My Travel Pass (MTP) document does not cover every type of passengers seeking entry to Malaysia. It considers Malaysians with overseas spouses but not engaged couples – fiancés are simply considered tourists.

When the Health Ministry (MOH) introduced the home quarantine system, it had specific requirements, and upon fulfilling those requirements and receiving approval, a traveller – whether Malaysian or a foreigner – has only 30 days to enter the country. If one has secured approval from the MOH, what need is there for the MTP? Why can’t the Immigration Department simply revert to its original job, i.e. checking and issuing visas and passports? Frustratingly, both MOH and Immigration offer only inadequate general information online.
