Israeli Citizen Entered Malaysia On Saint Kitts And Nevis Passport

SEREMBAN (Malaysia), Oct 19 (Bernama) -- An Israeli citizen entered Malaysia using a Saint Kitts and Nevis passport on Oct 15, said Immigration Department director-general Khairul Dzaimee Daud. Khairul Dzaimee explained that the individual, who goes by the name of Nas Daily or his real name Nuseir Yassin, held two citizenships namely Israel and the Caribbean nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. "The individual entered and exited Malaysia using the same passport (Saint Kitts and Nevis) and is understood to have entered Singapore using an Israeli passport. "He (the individual) did not have any offences under Immigration regulations, therefore permission to enter (the country) on a tourist visa was given upon his arrival using a Saint Kitts and Nevis passport," he told reporters after attending the Placement, Employment and Income programme, organised by the Prisons Department. Khairul Dzaimee, when commenting on the viralled video on TikTok relating to Israeli citizen Nas Daily entering the country, said: "Actually, he did not use an Israeli passport as if he did, he would not have been allowed to enter the country as Malaysia does not have diplomatic relations with Israel." -- BERNAMA
