Amiruddin added there were also suggestions that foreign travellers transiting in Malaysian airports be exempted from the levy. According to Clause 9 in the Bill, anyone leaving Malaysia “by any operator” shall be subjected to the departure levy. The Bill did not detail the exact levy rate, though the Pakatan Harapan government introduced the departure levy in Budget 2019, proposing to charge RM20 for those departing for Asean nations and RM40 for other countries.

Amiruddin, however, continued to insist that the amendments to exempt certain travellers can be made later, adding that the finance minister would also have to table the matter to the Cabinet, and bring it back to the Dewan Rakyat.
