Accepted Answer

42 Foreigners Denied Entry to Sarawak, 22 Chinese Nationals Among Them

A total of 42 foreign nationals were denied entry into Sarawak between February 1 and 7am on February 7. Of these individuals, 22 were Chinese nationals. These refusals occurred at various screening points across the state, including airports in Kuching, Sibu, Bintulu, Miri, and Mulu, as well as land border checkpoints at Biawak, Sungai Tujoh, and Mengkalap.
Chinese Nationals Denied Entry

Twenty-two Chinese nationals were among the 42 foreigners refused entry into Sarawak. These individuals were turned away because their passports indicated recent travel to China within the preceding 14 days. This measure was part of enhanced screening protocols implemented at Sarawak's entry points.
Other Nationalities Refused Entry

Besides Chinese nationals, the Sarawak Immigration Department also refused entry to travellers from other countries. These included seven individuals from Hong Kong, six from Indonesia, four from Brunei, and one each from Great Britain, Japan, and Singapore. Similar to the Chinese travellers, their recent travel history to China was the basis for the denial of entry.
Screening Locations

The screenings and subsequent refusals of entry were conducted at key transit and border points within Sarawak. This comprehensive approach included major airports such as Kuching International Airport, Sibu Airport, Bintulu Airport, Miri International Airport, and Mulu Airport. Additionally, land border checkpoints, specifically the Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security (ICQS) facilities at Biawak, Sungai Tujoh, and Mengkalap, were also involved in the screening process.
