KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 -- Those who return home from overseas and refuse to pay quarantine charges or sign the letter of undertaking (LoU) will be sent to the Public Training Institutes (ILA), said Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said these institutes belong to the government, therefore, the returnees could be placed there without having to pay a deposit.
"At the ILAs, they will be given 14 days to settle the charges of RM150 per day, if they fail to do so, they can be slapped with RM1,000 compound and court action," he said in a statement here today.
Ismail Sabri said the quarantine charges at hotels or at ILAs are of the same amount.
Meanwhile, he said students from the B40 families could seek exemption from paying quarantine costs by informing the secretariat on duty upon arrival at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
