A total of 96 Bangladeshi nationals were denied entry into Malaysia during a special operation conducted by the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), reports UNB quoting a report by Malaysian daily The Star.
An immigration operation was carried out last Friday at Terminal One of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). During the operation, officials screened over 300 individuals.
A total of 131 foreign nationals were denied entry into Malaysia, including 30 Pakistani nationals and five Indonesians.
According to a statement by AKPS, the individuals were refused entry as they failed to meet the required criteria for entering Malaysia, including suspicious travel arrangements, failure to report to immigration counters, and insufficient funds.
"Insufficient funds are generally a big clue into the intent of the person seeking entry. For example, there were those who claimed to be visiting for a month but had only brought around RM500, leading to doubts over their true intentions," the AKPS said in a statement on Monday.
Authorities have advised all travellers to comply with immigration requirements and ensure they meet all necessary conditions before attempting to enter Malaysia.
