SEPANG: The standard operating procedure (SOP) for the entry of foreign tourists at all international entry points remains as of now, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

He said any decision regarding new SOP would only be made based on the latest Covid-19 data.

He also explained that the SOP imposed on tourists arriving in Malaysia, including from China, was the same as that for arrivals from other countries.

“Of course, it’s not wise to be selective and I feel it’s not right for us to take that stance,” he told reporters after observing the operations at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), here, today.

However, he said the government would not comprise on the importance of protecting the safety of the people from any health threats, including the Covid-19 pandemic.
