Foreigners who are allowed to enter Malaysia must pay their quarantine charges and Covid-19 testing fees upon arrival or they can stay in the airport, warned Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

"We have made the decision that before they can pass immigration, they must make the payment for their hotel or quarantine centres.

"If they refuse to pay, we will not let them pass immigration, so they can stay at the airport till whenever," Ismail Sabri said in his press conference on Covid-19 updates today.

Previously, he said there were many incidents where foreigners who could enter Malaysia refused to pay for their quarantine and testing fees after those were completed.

The Malaysian Palm Oil Association (MPOA) said oil palm plantation owners are willing to absorb all COVID-19 quarantine charges imposed by the government.

Foreigners entering the country from all international entry points will have to pay full fees of the quarantine charges effective today.

This is because there are foreigners who have been allowed to enter the country and yet refusing to pay the cost after being sent to a hotel or Public Training Institute (ILA), to undergo quarantine.

These institutes belong to the government, therefore, the returnees could be placed there without having to pay a deposit.
