Home Affairs Minister Datuk Azmi Khalid said Malaysia will introduce the new biometric system and scrap the amnestry programmes, as it’s not helping in reducing the numbers of illegal arrival. Quote:

“We are reviewing the system now … completely a new system that we will implement. I don’t think there is a need to have any more amnesty.” […]

“Malaysia is serious in implementing the biometric system and Indonesia has agreed to cooperate with us on this.”

Earlier, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced the usage of biometric system during a joint media conference with Indonesia President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Quote:

“Malaysia will use the biometric system to hire Indonesian workers to tackle the problem of illegal immigrants from the republic. […]

“The system would record the name and thumb print of every Indonesian worker coming to Malaysia to seek employment to determine their entry into the country was legal or illegal. […]

“Later, when we check with the immigration, their records will be there if they have come in legally. […]

Could this be another cakap serupa bikin?
