“We were worried that we might not get to see our relatives in the next few months due to the fact that Malaysia might extend their lockdown,” said Syaheat, 29.

This was based on Immigration and Checkpoints Authority data.
Their identities have been concealed as the government said on March 22 that those who travel overseas despite the travel advisories may face consequences.
