Summary
A major glitch in Malaysia’s immigration system caused a nationwide breakdown, affecting most of the country’s 114 checkpoints for about two hours. Tens of thousands of travelers were stranded in long queues as officers had to process entries manually. Digital systems, including QR codes and facial recognition, were also down, leading to delays of up to three hours at airports and border crossings with Singapore. Authorities are investigating the cause, including the possibility of hacking.
