Immigration Dept shows four-fold increase of passport issuance post MCO, says Saifuddin
Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail says post Covid-19, the Immigration Department has issued almost 2.8 million passports. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, April 8, 2023.
“Everyday, immigration has to contend with crowds and is also facing congestion but not at all of its offices since the end of the Movement Control Order and the opening of the border, for example in Perlis the immigration department issues 20 to 30 passports everyday but in Damansara, Shah Alam and Kelana Jaya, we issue many times over, where there is congestion.
Saifuddin who is also Pantai Jerejak state assemblyman said the department will also introduce a pilot project to overcome congestion at passport issuing offices which are always crowded by only opening online applications and subsequent passport collection because there is widespread internet coverage in the area.
