Cabinet wants Transport Ministry to review procedures when handling NTL travellers

PUTRAJAYA: The Cabinet wants the Transport Ministry to look at the procedures of Mono Circle Sdn Bhd, a company which handles travellers served with Not-To-Land (NTL) notices at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said Mono Circle Sdn Bhd had been appointed by airline operator companies to handle NTL travellers since February 2015.

Mono Circle, he said, would take care of the further procedures of NTL travellers denied entry into Malaysia from providing meals to the purchase of return flight tickets to their originating countries.

"While interacting with the NTL traveller and requesting payment for the flight ticket, they could be misconstrued for Immigration officers requesting payment.

Malaysia is not suffering from “crony capitalism”,

“I want to make it very clear that this Malay Mail’s title ‘Crony Capitalism in Malaysia has to go, son of YTL founder says’ has completely misrepresented what I said. "

“It automatically presupposes that ‘crony capitalism’ is how things are done in Malaysia. This is far from the truth! In fact, I said I wanted to correct this misperception that has hovered around and used by various political factions for 20 years,”
