Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said after many Malaysians abroad had complained that it was too far for them to travel to embassies in their respective countries.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 22 — Malaysians abroad who are planning to return home will no longer need to travel to Malaysian embassies in the country they are at and instead fill up forms online provided by the Foreign Ministry.

“They can fill in forms online to apply to return home. They can also fill in the ‘akujanji’ to agree to pay the hotel fees for the 14-day quarantine. So they don’t have to worry about traveling to the embassies themselves,” he said, during his daily press conference today. However, Ismail said the government is not encouraging students abroad who have yet to complete their studies to return.

Earlier, Ismail Sabri said that 913 more Malaysians returned home yesterday and are now undergoing quarantine, bringing the total to 17,174.
