An immigration official at the Canadian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, offered the following information, based on its inquiries to the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in 1 October 2004 correspondence:
Malaysian[s] are not allowed to travel to Israel (as per passport wording) under any circumstances. Exception – diplomatic staff required to travel there [...who] would need to apply for permission from the Foreign Affairs Ministry, as well as [from the] office of the Prime Minister.
The immigration official was unable to obtain information from the Consular Affairs of the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as to the penalties imposed on a Malaysian who had travelled to Israel without official authorization.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim for refugee protection.
