Kuala Lumpur International Airport authorities (KEPS) have barred 104 foreign nationals, including some Bangladeshis, from entering Malaysia due to failure to meet the requirements of the 1959/63 Immigration Act.

A KEPS statement noted that most travelers arrived from Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan, though the exact number of Bangladeshis was not specified. Many were denied entry for failing to demonstrate valid return tickets, provide proof of accommodation, or clarify their purpose of visit. Some were also flagged due to suspicious explanations.

Additionally, KEPS reported that 288 travelers previously denied entry remain at KLIA, and repatriation processes are ongoing.
