MACC says it is tracking down an agent, believed to be a foreigner, suspected of soliciting a fee to help a Chinese national who was denied entry into Malaysia.
It said the independent company tasked with handling NTL passengers at the airport was appointed by the KLIA Airline Operators Committee , a committee of 40 airline operators at KLIA and 26 associates, and not by MAHB. He said the company had been given a contract by MAHB to manage travellers slapped with the NTL notice since 2017.
Last Friday, tourism, arts and culture minister Tiong King Sing admitted to being in a commotion with immigration officers at KLIA Terminal 1 after he attempted to intervene in a case where a Chinese national was allegedly prohibited entry into Malaysia.
