According to the Immigration Department of Malaysia, foreigners who fail to produce a passport, travel document or entry permit with a valid endorsement upon request are liable to a fine of up to RM10,000.
Marissa said:"They kept saying that because I didn't bring my passport, I needed to pay them money. I said I don't have so much cash in hand because family house was just around the corner." She said the officers insisted she pay RM10,000"or else I'll be banned from entering Malaysia for the next five years".After two hours of negotiation, she took out RM500 from her bag and gave it to the officer"so that they would let us go".One user, a Malaysian, said it was common practice and that, even as a local, he had also encountered such situations.
