07 Jun 2020 / 20:36 H.
IPOH: Thirty-two passengers comprising locals as well as citizens and permanent residents of Singapore, today left for the republic from the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (LSTAS) here, the first flight since the Movement Control Order (MCO) was enforced on March 18.
All the passengers boarded a plane owned by Singapore’s low-cost airline, FlyScoot TR481 at 1.10pm.
Perak Housing, Local Government and Tourism Committee chairman Datuk Nolee Ashilin Mohammed Radzi said only one flight departed from LTSAS today.
“So far there has been only one flight to that country and the state government is ready including providing a quarantine centre if there is an incoming flight to Perak,” she said when contacted.
Meanwhile, Ipoh district police chief ACP A. Asmadi Abdul Aziz said the flight consisted of eight Singaporeans including a child, 19 permanent residents of Singapore and five Malaysian students studying in the neighbouring country.
He said all the students were allowed to return to Singapore after obtaining an in-principle approval (IPA), as well as permission from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority and Singapore’s Education Ministry.
“The situation was under control and everyone involved cooperated well,” he told Bernama.
