Don’t travel with damaged passports, Taiwan warns travellers to Malaysia

PETALING JAYA: The Taiwanese foreign affairs ministry has downplayed an incident in which a Taiwanese woman was allegedly detained for 35 hours by Malaysian officials for travelling with a damaged passport.

Taipei Times reported that the ministry said her detention was standard procedure.

The woman, nicknamed Chiao Mei, had taken to Facebook on Saturday to share her ordeal, claiming that Japanese airport officials had damaged her passport when they ripped off tax-free forms stapled to some pages.

She said she arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport last Thursday using the same passport.

“Malaysian customs officers gave me a hard time, escorting me to an office before confiscating my passport and mobile phone,” Chiao Mei wrote.

She claimed that a male officer also demanded money from her and she was locked up for 35 hours before being finally deported back to Taiwan.

Chiao Mai also claimed another Taiwanese woman was also detained because she mistakenly showed officers the plane ticket from her previous trip to Malaysia, while a Vietnamese woman was slapped in the face by an official over a minor incident.

The Taiwanese foreign affairs ministry said tourists denied entry were kept in a holding lounge if they were unable to board a flight back home on the day of their arrival.

“Nearly 1.5 million passengers pass through Kuala Lumpur International Airport each month.

“Among them, as many as between 10 and 100 are denied entry every day,” the ministry said, adding that the Malaysian officers’ handling of Chiao Mei was standard procedure rather than personal.

The daily said the ministry advised the public to check for any damage to their passports before travelling to avoid being refused admission at the point of entry.

Taipei Times quoted Tiong King Sing, the Malaysian special envoy to Japan, Korea and Taiwan, as saying on his Facebook that the incident could damage the nation’s image and hurt the tourism industry.

He said an investigation into the case was being carried out.

He said the visitor’s mobile phone should not have been confiscated and airport officers should treat visitors from all nations respectfully.

In this case, the officers should have let the Taiwanese woman telephone a friend in Malaysia or contact Taiwan’s representative office to seek assistance, Tiong said.
