What interstate travel restrictions are now in place for Sarawak?

Question

Accepted Answer

A Police Permit is Now Required for Interstate Travel into Sarawak

Effective immediately, individuals undertaking interstate travel to Sarawak will require a permit from the police. This new regulation applies to journeys originating from Peninsular Malaysia, specifically between Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Kuching, as well as between Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. The decision to implement this requirement stems from the National Security Council's (MKN) concern over rising Covid-19 cases in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Labuan.
Permit Requirement for Specific Travel Routes

Travelers flying between KLIA and Kuching, or between Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, must now obtain a police permit before commencing their journey. This measure is a direct response to the escalating Covid-19 situation in other parts of Malaysia.
Integration with EnterSarawak App

Applications to enter Sarawak through the official EnterSarawak app will now necessitate the inclusion of a police permit. This ensures that all individuals seeking entry via this digital platform have met the new security requirement.
Enhanced Border Control Measures

In addition to travel permits, movement at the Merapok and Sidumin border crossings will be subject to increased control. The State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) has directed an augmentation of security personnel and patrols, with a particular focus on illegal border tracks and more frequent patrols along the Kalimantan border.
