There is no requirement for travellers to do the Rapid Test Kit-Antigen (RTK-AG) onsite at airports, said Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) today in clearing confusion on the matter.

The airport operator said the latest standard operating procedure (SOP) announced by the government for border opening states that international travellers are only required to do the RTK-AG test within 24 hours upon arrival in Malaysia at any private health facilities including clinics and hospitals of their choice.

“It is not mandatory to perform the tests at the airport upon arrival,” it said in a statement, dismissing claims that travellers are required to do the RTK-AG onsite at airports.

MAHB said facilities are made available for passengers who wish to have the convenience of doing the tests right away at the airport upon their arrival.

The government has set a minimum insurance coverage (for Covid-19 and travelling) of US$20,000 (RM84,090) for travellers arriving in Malaysia, in line with the country’s border reopening on April 1.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said this applied to all foreigners entering Malaysia using short-term social visit passes, irrespective of their Covid-19 vaccination status.

Khairy said that prior to leaving for Malaysia, travellers would be required to comply with one of the stipulated general protocols, namely to declare through the MySejahtera application that they have purchased the insurance coverage policy.

With the Singapore government’s latest ruling on travel insurance as well as on the basis of reciprocal policy, Khairy, however, said the requirement for insurance coverage is exempted for fully-vaccinated travellers.

He said those exempted comprised Singapore or Malaysian citizens; Singaporean or Malaysian permanent residents; and long-term pass holders in Singapore or Malaysia.

Flight attendants have described passengers hitting them, kicking seats and throwing trash at them. One man argued with attendants who told his son to stop va**ng. As he was escorted off the plane, he yelled at a flight attendant, ‘‘Imagine all of you in body bags.’’ Another man dumped a diaper filled with p**p in the beverage cart, ending service for the rest of the flight.

Pandemic anxiety, hostility and tantrums have turned airplanes into battlefronts for flight attendants. People are angry about wearing masks. People are angry at those who don’t wear masks. They are all tired of the long lines, packed airplanes and cancellations caused by weather and Omicron. And if a customer spins out of control, flight attendants have no escape and no way to eject the passenger.

The public thinks ‘‘we are nothing more than cocktail waitresses,’’ one said.

How defiant Covid-era customers turned a dream job — flight attendant — into a total nightmare.
