The Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKEPS) has denied entry to 104 foreign nationals, including Bangladeshis, at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). The decision was made under the Immigration Act 1959/63, as these individuals failed to meet the necessary entry requirements.
According to a statement from AKEPS, the foreigners were identified during a rigorous inspection and screening process at the airport on Friday, August 29. The majority of the passengers hailed from Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan, though the exact number of Bangladeshis was not specified in the statement.
A report published on Saturday, August 30, by *Sinar Harian* revealed that the barred passengers failed to provide clear reasons for their visit to Malaysia. Some lacked valid return tickets, while others could not demonstrate proper accommodation arrangements. In several cases, the reasons provided were deemed suspicious, leading to the denial of entry.
AKEPS further stated that an additional 288 passengers, previously denied entry, are currently at KLIA awaiting repatriation.
The agency emphasized its commitment to maintaining the security and integrity of Malaysia’s entry points, stating, “Only those who meet the stipulated conditions will be allowed to enter the country.”
