00:00 The implementation of the QR code in the immigration clearance of Malaysian travellers has been encouraging.
00:09 Almost 70,000 travellers registered to use the trial system to expedite passport clearance at the border crossing with Singapore.
00:18 The MyTrip app, embedded in the MySejahtera app, which is used for registration and clearance,
00:23 functioned well on Saturday, the first day of the proof-of-concept period.
00:28 Johor Immigration Acting Director Mohamed Faizal Shamsuddin and several Home Ministry and Immigration Department officials
00:35 visited the checkpoints to monitor the situation.
00:38 He said the travellers were excited to test out the new QR code method.
00:42 He said the immigration personnel had tried the system at the Sultan Abu Bakar Customs Immigration and Quarantine Complex
00:50 for about two days to ensure smooth implementation of the system.
00:57 At press time, other similar QR code apps which are supposed to be implemented at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar CIQ complex
01:05 have yet to start due to technical glitches.
01:09 The immigration department said although the system began on Saturday,
01:13 travellers could already start trying out the QR code system three days ago.
01:19 Travellers can register by using the MySejahtera app and clicking the MyTrip app in it.
01:25 They are then required to link their passport, answer a few questions and snap a photo of the passport.
01:31 If successful, the personal details of the traveller will appear
01:35 and the traveller is required to click 'View MyTrip QR' to generate the QR code at the scanners.
01:41 The QR code clearance system is expected to cut down the time needed to clear a bus full of passengers
01:47 at the Sultan Abu Bakar CIQ complex by more than 75%.
