[UPDATED] Woman from China remanded over assault on immigration staff at KLIA
SEPANG: A woman from China has been remanded for four days for allegedly injuring an immigration counter personnel at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). KLIA deputy district police chief Superintendent Albany Hamzah said the remand order took effect on Thursday. "The case is being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code (obstructing a public servant), Section 332 (causing hurt to a public servant), and Section 353 (using criminal force against a public servant). "The public is advised not to speculate on the matter, as it could disrupt police investigations," he said when contacted today. It was reported that the Immigration Services Union of Peninsular Malaysia had condemned the assault on a female immigration officer at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 yesterday. Its president, Ajeet Singh, said the union takes the incident seriously and has urged the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) to take proactive measures to safeguard officers on duty as well as travellers. He said provoking or assaulting civil servants is subject to legal action, regardless of whether the perpetrator is a Malaysian or foreign citizen. "Any action that contravenes Malaysian law can be considered a challenge to the country's legal sovereignty, and every tourist is obliged to respect the laws of the country they are visiting," he said in a statement yesterday. Earlier, a Chinese national was arrested after allegedly behaving aggressively and injuring an immigration counter officer during a departure check at KLIA1. The incident occurred at 7.40pm when the woman, accompanied by a man and two children, approached the counter for immigration clearance. The officer on duty discovered that they had no records of entry into Malaysia and referred the matter to a supervisor for further verification. The Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency said the suspect became agitated when instructed to allow other passengers to proceed while checks were carried out. She allegedly hurled abuse at the officer, pulled her headscarf, and pushed her head towards a pillar in front of the counter.
