All entering Malaysia from June 1 must agree to pay for mandatory Covid-19 quarantine before trip


Mr Ismail Sabri said the National Security Council had decided that Malaysian citizens would pay 50 per cent of the full charges of RM150 (S$48.75) per day.

"Non-citizens, including spouses and dependents of Malaysian citizens, will have to pay the full amount, " he said.

Mr Ismail Sabri said the council had also decided that those who wanted to come to Malaysia would have to sign a letter of undertaking, which states their agreement to bear the quarantine costs.

"The signing of the letter can be done at Malaysian embassies and high commissions. After the agreement is signed, the office will also issue a letter permitting them to return to Malaysia, " he said.

He said the Immigration Department would play its part to ensure returnees were aware of the new condition set by the government.

"The Immigration (Department) will be issuing a directive to all airline companies to make it a condition for passengers disembarking in Malaysia to have this letter of undertaking with them, " he said.
