Avoid falling into any country’s travel ban list, says MP

PETALING JAYA: Instead of focusing on vaccine recognition for travel abroad, Malaysia must work towards avoiding any country’s “travel ban list” based on the Covid-19 situation at home, says Bangi MP Ong Kian Ming.

He said the conditions with regards to Malaysians travelling to the European Union (EU) countries are still governed by the rules and policies of the individual governments.

Therefore, said Ong, Malaysia should be more concerned about increasing domestic vaccination rates as part of a larger strategy to curb Covid-19, and fall into a category which requires travellers to do the minimum.

Citing the UK as an example, which is the most visited country in Europe among Malaysians, he said Malaysia should work towards achieving the status of a “Green” country.
