Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said the other aspects of the system were the use of technology and equipment and personnel manning the entry points would work closely with staff at airports and ports in the country.
But the key focus, he added, would be the integrity of personnel at entry points, who would be working with their counterparts in the home countries of arriving tourists.
“We can look at the equipment, as recently we announced the importance of having the biometric system in place by June where we will look at advanced screening of passengers internationally.
“We also want to instil a sense of pride, discipline and integrity in the officers that we have in the entry points.
“As you know, I have no hesitation when it comes to the safety and security of our country,” Hishammuddin said Saturday after witnessing a mock hostage rescue drama by the Special Action Force (UTK) with Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman
On Sabah’s 22 proposals for resolving the migrant problem, he said most will be adopted while about three to four would have to be endorsed by the Cabinet as it involved policy matters like levies.
