KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian authorities will take appropriate action if there were errors made during an incident earlier this week, in which a Chinese national was initially barred entry at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim made the comments in a Facebook post on Sunday (Jul 1), following a visit to the airport. "During a surprise visit to the immigration and customs counters at KLIA earlier today, I saw that there is room for improvement to enhance operations at the country's entry point," he said. "I had the opportunity to meet and speak with the staff and officers on duty regarding their daily operations, both at the arrival and departure counters." The prime minister said that he also observed "emerging issues or problems" during the daily handling of tourists and foreign nationals, as well as local residents. "In light of the recent incident involving Chinese tourists, I assure you that a thorough investigation will be conducted by the authorities, and preliminary discussions will be held during the Cabinet meeting this Wednesday," wrote Mr Anwar. "Meanwhile, appropriate actions will also be taken by the parties involved if there are any mistakes that should not have occurred and ... affected the fluidity of operations," he added.
