00:00In order to provide ease and comfort to visitors and travellers,
00:06we have to do our best.
00:11However, the safety and well-being of the country and the people
00:15is still the top priority.
00:18For your information,
00:20all international flights in Malaysia
00:23have been equipped with automatic passport loading machines.
00:27The government continues to improve the technical effort
00:31to load passports based on basic appropriateness
00:34and the opportunities of the relevant departments
00:37with the latest technology and the current budget.
00:40Among the features that have been improved
00:43is the function of documenting documents
00:46through the effort to verify and compare data texts
00:50and RFID chips.
00:53This verification is based on the use of visual matching
00:59that is, the comparison of passport photos and live capture.
01:04The function of white light, infrared and ultraviolet lamps,
01:10the function of text comparison,
01:12that is, the comparison of Jantina information from MRZ and passport
01:18and the function of verification and data exchange.
01:21There are 1,568 automatic passport loading machines
01:28in all Malaysian airports.
01:31For the security control at the airport,
01:35the Immigration Department has improved.
01:37Hopefully, at the airport,
01:39one Singaporean passenger can use the auto gate.
01:44Passengers from 10 low-income countries
01:49can use the auto gate.
01:52Employees from low-income companies in Malaysia
01:55can apply for an SPTRIP passport
01:58for employees and passports holders
02:02including MEV,
02:06and can use the auto gate.
02:10In addition,
02:12the Immigration Department has also expanded the auto gate
02:16to 53 new countries.
02:19The countries are from 26 European countries,
02:2417 European countries outside the EU,
02:276 Arab countries,
02:294 other countries, China, Canada, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
02:32The number of countries provided with the auto gate
02:36is 63 countries in total
02:40and will increase the number of foreign passengers
02:43from these countries.
02:45The Ministry of State is considering a new system
02:50that is more efficient
02:52to speed up the immigration process for passengers.
02:57By introducing the QR code
03:01for use at the international airport in Kuala Lumpur,
03:05this system is expected to speed up the process
03:09of counter-immigration,
03:12where passengers only need to fill in the QR code
03:15containing their personal information
03:17as well as their travel documents.
03:19The use of this technology is expected
03:22to help improve safety,
03:25reduce the risk at the country's entrance gates,
03:28especially at the peak.
03:30The use of the QR code will be expanded
03:33at the country's main entrance gates,
03:37including other international airports,
03:40checkpoints at land and sea ports.
03:43With this unified system,
03:46it will not only increase the efficiency
03:49in the process of immigration,
03:51but will also reduce the risk of corruption
03:54and abuse of power in counter-immigration.
03:57The Ministry of State, especially immigration,
03:59is always responsive
04:01and quick to take action
04:03regarding the situation of common people,
04:06including advice from other governments,
04:09such as Israel.
04:11For the purpose of improving at the country's entrance gates,
04:15the KDN has agreed to use the QR code
04:19that I mentioned earlier at all the main entrance gates,
04:23because this is a decision that has been made
04:26in the special committee on handling corruption
04:29in the Johor area in 2024
04:32on 18 November last year.
04:35The decision was also approved
04:38by the Government of Johor
04:41in the POC statement,
04:44the implementation of the QR code
04:47at BSI and KSAB in 2020.
04:51In addition to the use of the QR code,
04:54the Ministry of State has also agreed
04:57in the budget statement
04:59issued by the government on 18 October last year
05:03with a budget of 20 million rupiah.
05:06This is part of the effort
05:08for us to deal with the issues raised by the government.
05:12Because one of the advantages of using the QR code
05:15is to reduce the clearance time to 5 seconds
05:20compared to the conventional autogate
05:23which takes 15 to 30 seconds.
05:26In addition,
05:28travelers who use motorcycles in Johor
05:34do not need to carry a topic ladder
05:37for the immigration officer
05:39in addition to the T-zone control
05:41which can be effectively implemented in this system.
05:45If there is an electrical failure
05:50or our system breaks down,
05:54the QR code system is still able to collect data,
05:58control and ensure that all our doors are operating properly.
