The Iris Recognition Immigration System eye scanners are among the new measures that will beef up security at Malaysia's entry and exit points, including airports, by year end.
New security measures to be set up at the country's entry and exit points include:
- Enhanced biometric system
- Upgraded passport scanners
- HD Surveillance Systems
- Advanced Passenger Screening System (APSS)
Immigration Department Deputy Director, Datuk Sakib Kusmi said these systems, once implemented would help eradicate transnational crime such as human trafficking and drug smuggling.
He said that after its trial period, the I-Check would be implemented at four other major airports namely the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2, and the Kuching, Penang and Kota Kinabalu International airports.
It will be expanded to entry and exit points, airports, and land and sea borders.
