KUALA LUMPUR, July 2 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today made a surprise visit to the Customs and Immigration officers of Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s Terminal 1.
It is understood that Anwar was not accompanied by any ministers or department heads and that he interacted only with the Customs and Immigration officers who were on duty at the time. “The situation is under control. There are a few issues that we need to address, but I want to give my assurance that an investigation will be conducted.
“Right now, I am just looking at the steps taken so far, and the Customs and Immigration Department have given me a very good and positive response,” Anwar said briefly at the end of his surprise visit. The Bintulu MP also claimed to have been informed that Immigration officers had allegedly demanded RM3,000 from foreign tourists to secure their release from detention.
