18,000 Malaysians abroad have agreed to pay 50 percent of the cost if they undergo their compulsory quarantine at hotels upon returning.

Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob says this includes university students who have completed their studies overseas.

He says for returning students, their respective sponsors will foot the bill on their behalf.

Also, undocumented migrants who test negative for COVID-19 will be deported to their home country.

The Defence Minister says Indonesia, Nepal and Bangladesh have all agreed with the government’s decision.

Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob says the government will discuss with the three countries on how to send the migrants home.
