PETALING JAYA - A Malaysian minister who was reported to have caused a commotion at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport said he had to step in to help a traveller from China, who alleged that she was asked to pay several thousand ringgit to be allowed entry into the country.
He learnt that the Chinese traveller arrived in Malaysia with her superior, a senior official of a Chinese government-owned TV station, who came to pursue her PhD at a university in Shah Alam. Immigration officers told Mr Tiong there was a misunderstanding between them and the travellers due to language barrier.
He added: “Thursday’s incident was the fifth time I had gone to intervene on such matters. Also, claims that I did not have a pass to enter the arrival zone is untrue as I do have one which is valid until next year.”
