PUTRAJAYA, July 19 (Bernama) -- The Autogate system for foreign visitors that suffered disruptions since yesterday has resumed operations in stages at 6 pm today.
The Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) said that the situation at major entry points were under control and mitigation measures will continue to ensure the smooth flow of foreign visitors.
Repair work and system stabilisation are still being carried out to ensure that it returns to operation at optimum capacity.
“The AKPS will continue to ensure that the system is restored to ensure the daily operation of visitors entering and leaving the country is under control and safe,” the agency said in a statement tonight.
The agency had confirmed earlier today that the disruption was caused by disruption in data integration that caused the crosschecking process in the MyIMMS system to slow down.
The disruption caused congestion and long waiting lines at several major entry points, including the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 and 2 as well as the serta Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complexes at Sultan Iskandar Building and Sultan Abu Bakar Complex in Johor.
