Lawyer A Srimurugan says foreigners who make disparaging remarks about the country can have their passes revoked.

A Srimurugan told FMT that Section 9 of the Immigration Act 1953 empowers the immigration director-general to cancel any pass or permit in the interest of public security. “If a foreigner comes to Malaysia and makes disparaging remarks, the government is within its rights to revoke his or her visa or permit,” he said.
