PSC holds first proceeding on KLIA commotion, no rep from Tourism Ministry

KUALA LUMPUR – The 15th parliamentary select committee on human rights, elections and institutional reforms yesterday held its first proceeding on the commotion involving a Chinese national at Kuala Lumpur International Airport at the end of June.

In a statement, the committee said the proceeding touched on the issue of handling Not-To-Land (NTL) processes as well as tourists who were issued NTL notices, public complaints on NTL processes and proposals to improve regulations as well as the existing system. 

According to the committee, the proceedings chaired by its chairman William Leong (Selayang-PH) had called representatives from the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry (Motac) as well as the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Matta) to provide information.

However, Motac did not send any representative including its minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing who had prior commitment apart from being advised by his lawyer that any statement issued would be inappropriate as the case is still under investigation by the police.

The committee, however, said the proceeding would not touch on any criminal investigation conducted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) or the police, and there would not be any overlapping investigation.

“It is a requirement for Motac to attend to give its statement to the committee on issues relating to the handling process of NTL as well as problems for tourists issued with NTL at the meeting which would be fixed later.”

According to the statement, Matta representatives present to brief the committee consisted of its president Nigel Wong; former president Datuk Tan Kok Liang; general manager Maziah Mihat, special work exco Datuk Hamzah Rahmat, and research and technology vice-president Mohd Hizzat Mohd Shah.

The next proceeding is scheduled for this Wednesday and will be divided into two sessions comprising explanations from the Transport Ministry and Malaysia Airports Holding Bhd, followed by the Home Ministry and the Immigration Department.

On June 29, there was a commotion at KLIA involving a minister allegedly trying to “rescue” a Chinese woman who was denied entry into the country upon arrival at the airport. – July 25, 2023

Only 0.4 million of the 8 million hectares is used for production of vegetables, fruits, freshwater fish and dairy products.
