SIPITANG: The immigration check-in and check-out system in Sabah and Sarawak badly needs to be upgraded digitally to reduce registration time.
Mazlan Talawi, a visitor from Sipitang, noted that the waiting time at the entrance to Sabah is excessively long.

“This situation is particularly common on weekends or during festive seasons when many vehicles line up at the border.
