KOTA KINABALU, July 12 — A new passport office located inside the Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) in Sabah will be able to process and renew international passport applications in just one hour, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said today.
He added that this is the first such service inside an airport terminal building; the other passport centre in Malaysia that is closest to the airport is located outside the Kuala Lumpur International Airport complex.
“The new office will be the seventh passport application centre in Sabah, which will benefit those in neighbouring districts,” he said.
“This shows our determination to facilitate the communities in dealing with the Immigration Department by adding passport offices without additional staff,” he said.
