PUTRAJAYA: Authorities have been directed to enhance surveillance and checks along the country's borders to prevent the entry of undocumented foreigners, says the Prime Minister.

"Along our borders, there are a lot of secret passageways that can be used by illegal immigrants to enter the country. "If we don't beef up control and surveillance along our border, they can penetrate and bring the Covid-19 virus into the country. "That is why I have ordered for the authorities to ensure there is stricter border control," he said on Friday .

The Prime Minister had earlier announced the extension of the movement control order from April 15 to April 28.The second phase started on April 1 will end on the 14th.
