SEPANG: The standard operating procedure (SOP) for the entry of foreign tourists at all international entry points remains the same for now, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
The Home Minister said any change in the existing SOP would only be made based on the latest Covid-19 data.
"It's not wise to be selective and I feel it's not right for us to take that stance," he told reporters after observing the operations at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport , here on Sunday . On Wednesday , Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Malaysia would not discriminate against any country in conducting Covid-19 checks on travellers entering the country as its priority is the people's health and safety.
Elaborating further, Saifuddin said tourists identified to be suffering from a fever would be taken aside and examined by a doctor on duty.
