Malaysia announced on December 1 that all foreign tourists, including Singaporeans, must submit an electronic entry card online before entering the country, but the policy on December 5 will be U -turned, and it is changed to seven types of foreign countries including Singapore citizens, including Singapore citizens, including Singaporean citizens.Passengers can exempt the electronic entry card.
When the Malaysian Immigration Bureau first announced new measures, it caused all parties to discuss, especially Singaporeans who often went shopping at Johor Bahru on weekends, worried that it would cause inconvenience or cleaned customs clearance.However, there are also many old gods who think that they don't have to worry too much, because "it will turn in a few days."
Sure enough, the Malaysian official announced five days after the official that Singaporeans could not fill in the electronic entry card.This is naturally a good thing for many Singaporeans, but it is inevitable that people have no confidence in the Malaysian government's order.
Malaysia is to cooperate with 10 countries such as China and India, which will take effect on December 1 to exempt visa entry policies and take measures to fill in the electronic entry card.It is so that some people can avoid illegal stays or activities involving national security.
The official intention of Malaysia is naturally good, but after a few days after the announcement of new measures, the regulations are modified. It is difficult to make people doubt whether the official has made full preparations and studies in detail before formulating and promoting new policies.Potential issues, or take a step by step, and if you encounter a problem, you will be randomly respond?
The so -called Jun Wuyan, a policy of government agencies officially announced by a country, especially those involved in foreigners, should be thoughtfully thoughtful and told the world.Such policies should not only repeat it, but also ensure that all units involved in make all preparations, and will not cause confusion and confusion when the implementation of new policies.
On the second day of the implementation of visa -free measures, Malaysia, on December 2, a large number of foreign tourists occurred in Penang International Airport for four hours before customs clearance.Many tourists vomit bitter water, and some people say that they are "scared", and they dare not visit Penang anymore in the future.
Huang Hanwei, a state executive member of the Penang government responsible for tourism and creative economic affairs, explained at the time that it was because the entry and exit counter was not open, which caused a long -term dragon.Unexpectedly, less than two days after the situation improved, some tourists complained that about 1,000 people crowded the airport entry office. They failed to enter the country for hours, and they could not go to the toilet.
The official emphasized that the visa exemption was not the cause of the Penang International Airport's "squeezed sand -lined" after the problem appeared again, but that "it shows that the expansion plan of Penang Airport is urgent."
No matter whether the counter is not open or the airport needs to expand to cope with a large number of immigration tourists, it reflects that the official is not ready to deal with the number of tourists who can predict the increase.
Yang Zheng's family in Penang MCA bombarded the Ministry of the Interior and the Penang Government to "make Penang ashamed".Unexpectedly, a few days later, it was the turn of Johor Ministers Wenghafz in a furious criticism of the Johor Bahru.
Wenghafz is aimed at the incident of nearly 14 hours of power outages from the evening of December 5th to the next morning.Although the power outage is due to the regular maintenance work of the national energy company, the spare generator has repeatedly failed and has nothing to do with the visa -free policy.Essence
The Malaysian government hopes to attract foreign tourists through visa -free policies, stimulate the recovery of tourism and drive the development of tourism, and increase tourism revenue.Many potential foreign tourists were dismissed after seeing such news and dared not travel to Malaysia.
The International Entry Department is equivalent to the facade of the country, and it is also the first impression of foreign tourists on a country. The government of any country should pay attention to this "face" problem, otherwise the policy that attracts more attracting tourists will only be counterproductive.
