    KUALA LUMPUR: All passengers departing from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) main terminal will now undergo body temperature screening through the use of thermal scanners placed before the check-in areas.

    The screening for departing passengers runs from today until further notice, said Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), which operates KLIA as well as 38 other airports in the country.

    “This is one of our many efforts to combat the Covid-19 outbreak and ensure the safety of all passengers and the airport community,” MAHB said in its social media postings.

    It said the scanners are placed between the entrance to check-in counters B and C, as well as counters H and I.

    Only departing passengers, staff and crew with a body temperature below 37.5 degrees Celcius are allowed to pass through the screening point into the check-in areas, the airport operator said.

    “No senders and greeters will be allowed into the check-in areas. Exceptions will be given for one guardian of children or passengers needing special assistance,” it said.

    A person who is denied entry needs to inform the respective airline and is recommended to immediately go to the clinic or hospital for a health check, MAHB added. – Bernama

    King expresses sadness, concern about healthcare workers infected with Covid-19 2

    KUALA LUMPUR: The Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has expressed his sadness and concern over the news that several healthcare workers from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and private healthcare facilities have been infected with Covid-19.

    Comptroller of the Royal Household of Istana Negara Datuk Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin said Al-Sultan Abdullah was extremely concerned about the situation as the healthcare workers were the frontliners who have spent most of their time and energy to help contain the pandemic.

    “As at March 21, the MOH has confirmed that 19 of its staff and five from the private healthcare facilities have been infected with Covid-19, while as at noon today, 212 new positive Covid-19 cases were reported, bringing the total to 1,518.

    “Two of the 19 MOH staff are currently receiving treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) and investigations found that all of them were close contacts to the first and second generations of the tabligh clusters,” he said in a statement here today.

    As of March 22, a total of 460 MOH healthcare workers had been tested negative for Covid-19, while the remaining 190 were awaiting results.

    As of this afternoon, MOH confirmed that the Covid-19 total deaths in Malaysia stood at 14.

    Ahmad Fadil said in this regard, His Majesty called on the people to be honest and truthful with health personnel in giving information about their travel history and close contacts to determine the source of infection thus containing the spread of the disease.

    “It is important to be honest when undergoing the screening as the information given is vital to the MOH. This will also prevent MOH frontline personnel from getting infected.

    “Al-Sultan Abdullah also urged those who had close contacts with confirmed Covid-19 cases and had developed symptoms of the disease to immediately go the nearest government health facilities for examination. Don’t take symptoms lightly,” he said.

    Ahmad Fadil said the King also expressed his appreciation for the sacrifice, commitment and dedication of Covid-19 frontliners including personnel of MOH, government agencies as well as private healthcare facilities.

    “His Majesty hopes that all of them will continue to remain resilient in carrying out their responsibilities for the safety of the people and our beloved country,” he added.

    Al-Sultan Abdullah reiterated his advice for the people to comply with the Movement Control Order and follow the guidelines issued by the MOH to end the pandemic.

    His Majesty also conveyed his condolences to family members of those who have died of Covid-19 and called on Malaysians to continue praying so that the Covid-19 situation can be tackled as soon as possible. – Bernama

    (Video) Soldiers nab thief who stole from mosque, temple donation boxes 5

    JASIN: Soldiers on duty under the movement control order (MCO) helped solve a theft case within six hours after it occurred in Bemban, near here, yesterday.

    Together with the police, the soldiers arrested a thief who had earlier stolen cash from donation boxes at a mosque and temple in Jasin and Selandar respectively.

    The three soldiers who were on joint-duty with four policemen were manning a roadblock at Jalan Gapam, Bemban, when they spotted the suspect riding a motorcycle nearby.

    On seeing the police and soldiers, the suspect jumped off his machine and began fleeing on foot.

    The policemen and soldiers gave chase and on capturing him, the 21-year-old suspect put up a violent struggle to escape.

    However, he was subdued and promptly arrested.

    Jasin police chief DSP Mispani Hamdan said the chairman of the As-Salam mosque in Kampung Kesang Tua had lodged a report in the morning after finding several donation boxes at the premises broken and cash amounting to hundreds of ringgit missing.

    He said soon after receiving the report, police examined footage retrieved from a close-circuit television camera (CCTV) which showed the suspect in the act.

    Mispani said the suspect had also broken into a Chinese temple in Selandar and was caught on CCTV at the premises.

    “Apart from his motorcycle, we recovered a lighter and an apparatus commonly used for consuming drugs from the suspect.

    “He also tested positive for methamphetamine abuse. The success of this case was a result of the joint-cooperation between the police and military,“ he told theSun when contacted
