KL airport incident: Government to take action if mistakes found, says Malaysia PM Anwar

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 .

"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." "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.

According to The Star, the woman, who is a China national, alleged that she was denied entry by immigration officers although her travel documents were in order. Mr Tiong was quoted by The Star as saying that the station official called up the Consulate General of Malaysia in Guangzhou and sought help upon seeing her colleague in distress."I received a call from a staff member of the consulate general's office who related what allegedly happened," Mr Tiong reportedly said.

MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki said the commission was gathering information from the parties involved, including a well-known dignitary and JIM, to facilitate the investigation.
