Ha Vi Lam, 30, working in Macau (China), boarded a plane home on March 18 and
transited in Malaysia.
However, he was estranged at the airport as the Malaysian government had
enforced the Movement Control Order (MCO), which bans all foreigners from
entering Malaysia in two weeks starting on March 18, in an attempt to curb the
spread of the COVID-19 in the country.
The airport’s hotel also shut down and refused services to new guests due to the
MCO, forcing him to stay at the airport’s transit lounge.
Along with support for his meals, the embassy is helping Lam to seek a flight
home, which is expected to be after March 31, following the end of the MCO’s
two-week enforcement.
In case of emergency, Vietnamese citizens in Malaysia are recommended to contact
the embassy’s round-the-clock hotline ( 60) 1136 682 866 or email address
vnemb.my@mofa.gov.vn.
