AKPS rolls out hologram technology to help travellers navigate arrival procedures

SEPANG, Oct 26 — The Malaysia Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) has developed hologram technology to be deployed at the satellite building of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1, to assist travellers in obtaining information regarding arrival procedures in the country.

AKPS deputy director-general (management) Ismail Mokhtar said this initiative is part of the agency’s efforts to leverage technology to make it easier for travellers to access necessary information upon their arrival in Malaysia.

He noted that the development of this hologram was inspired by an initiative from the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN), which installed a hologram of the Minister of Home Affairs, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, in the lobby of the Setia Perkasa Complex.

“Just as the Ministry of Home Affairs placed a hologram of the Minister in the lobby of the Setia Perkasa Complex, AKPS shares the same vision and mission. We have created a hologram to be stationed at the KLIA satellite building, which will provide arriving travellers with information on the requirements they need to fulfil upon entry into the country,” he said.

He made these remarks while speaking at the AKPS 2nd Anniversary Celebration held here today, which was officiated by the Ministry of Home Affairs secretary-general, Datuk Dr. Awang Alik Jeman.

In a separate development, Ismail said AKPS aims to have 1,259 containers carrying electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) exported out of the country by the end of this year.

He explained that this target follows the government’s successful export of e-waste containers earlier this year, a feat achieved for the first time through a task force led by the agency.

“The issue of e-waste importation demonstrates that the threats at the nation’s entry points are becoming increasingly complex. Enforcement goes beyond merely detaining containers, it encompasses document verification, technical inspections, identifying the parties responsible, and monitoring follow-up actions,” he said.

During the event, AKPS also launched its 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, which serves not only as a reference document but also as an operational guide for its officers.

Additionally, AKPS unveiled a new logo featuring a red eagle symbolising the agency’s sharpness and state of readiness with a sundang (a traditional sword), representing courage and discipline.

Meanwhile, Awang Alik noted that the Minister of Home Affairs, who was initially scheduled to attend the celebration, could not be present due to an urgent, unavoidable assignment that arose at the last minute.

He mentioned that Saifuddin Nasution extended his apologies to all AKPS personnel for being unable to join in the celebration of the agency’s second anniversary.

“The Honourable Minister also expressed his apologies to everyone present today, as he was tasked at the last minute with an extremely important and unavoidable duty,” he said.

He added that the Minister of Home Affairs conveyed his regards, along with his congratulations and appreciation to all AKPS personnel, for their commitment and dedication in upholding the trust placed in them to safeguard the nation’s security and border sovereignty.

Earlier, the absence of both Saifuddin Nasution and AKPS director-general, Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, drew the attention of the press.

On October 21, Mohd Shuhaily was charged in the Magistrate’s Court with two counts of causing injury to two police officers.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges. The Sepang Magistrate’s Court has set November 25 as the date for the case mention and the submission of documents.

On October 24, Saifuddin Nasution reportedly said the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN) has entrusted matters concerning the position of the director-general of AKPS to the secretary-general of the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Chief Secretary to the Government, Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar. — Bernama

雪邦，10 月 26 日讯——马来西亚边境管制和保护局 (AKPS) 开发了一种全息投影技术，将在吉隆坡国际机场 (KLIA) 1 号航站楼的卫星楼部署，以帮助旅客获取有关入境程序的信息。

AKPS副总监（管理）伊斯梅尔·莫克塔尔表示，这项举措是该机构利用科技手段，使旅客抵达马来西亚后更容易获取必要信息的努力的一部分。

他指出，这项全息投影技术的开发受到了内政部 (KDN) 的一项举措的启发，该举措在 Setia Perkasa 大厦的大厅安装了内政部长 Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail 的全息投影。

“正如内政部在Setia Perkasa大厦大厅放置了部长的全息影像一样，AKPS也秉持着同样的愿景和使命。我们制作了一个全息影像，将放置在吉隆坡国际机场卫星楼，为入境旅客提供入境所需满足的要求信息，”他说道。

他在今天于此举行的AKPS二周年庆典上发表了上述讲话，该庆典由内政部秘书长拿督阿旺·阿里克·杰曼博士主持开幕。

另据伊斯梅尔称，AKPS的目标是到今年年底将1259个装载电子电气垃圾（电子废物）的集装箱出口到国外。

他解释说，这一目标是在政府今年早些时候成功出口电子垃圾容器之后制定的，这是该机构领导的一个特别工作组首次实现的壮举。

他说：“电子垃圾进口问题表明，国家入境口岸面临的威胁日益复杂。执法不仅仅是扣押集装箱，还包括文件核查、技术检查、确定责任方以及监督后续行动。”

活动期间，AKPS 还发布了 2026-2030 年战略计划，该计划不仅作为参考文件，也作为其官员的操作指南。

此外，AKPS 还发布了一个新标志，标志中一只红鹰象征着该机构的敏锐和准备状态，还有一把剑（传统宝剑），代表勇气和纪律。

与此同时，阿旺·阿利克指出，原定出席庆祝活动的内政部长由于临时出现紧急且不可避免的任务而无法到场。

他提到，赛义夫丁·纳苏蒂安向所有AKPS员工表示歉意，因为他无法参加该机构成立两周年的庆祝活动。

“尊敬的部长今天也向在场的所有人表示歉意，因为他是在最后一刻被委派了一项极其重要且不可避免的任务，”他说。

他还补充说，内政部长向所有AKPS人员表达了问候、祝贺和感谢，感谢他们恪尽职守，维护国家安全和边境主权，不负众望。

早些时候，赛夫丁纳苏蒂安和正义与发展党总干事拿督斯里莫哈末舒海利莫哈末扎因的缺席引起了媒体的关注。

10月21日，莫哈末·舒海利在地方法庭被控两项罪名，即造成两名警员受伤。

他否认了所有指控。雪邦地方法庭已将11月25日定为案件开庭审理及提交文件日期。

据报道，赛夫丁·纳苏蒂安于10月24日表示，内政部已将有关AKPS总监一职的事宜委托给内政部秘书长兼政府首席秘书丹斯里·沙姆斯·阿兹里·阿布·巴卡尔处理。——马新社
