VISA-FREE WITH BRITAIN

“I am pleased with this result. It reflects the hard work that both we and the Malaysian Government have put into this issue over the last few months,” Boyd McCleary, British High Commissioner

Malaysia has retained its visa-free status with Britain.

This means that Malaysians can visit and remain in Britain without a visa for up to six months.

The decision was announced in the House of Commons by British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith late yesterday (11.30pm Malaysian time). While in Malaysia, British High Commissioner Boyd McCleary briefed Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim on his government’s decision yesterday.- The Star Online
