Budget hotels willing to accommodate

Jalal says his hotels are selected as quarantine centres due to their proximity to Putrajaya and KLIA.

TWENTY-three budget hotels throughout Malaysia have been selected by the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) to serve as quarantine centres for Malaysians returning from abroad.

Malaysia Budget Hotel Association (MyBHA) president Emmy Suraya Hussein said the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry (Motac) had approached it earlier this month looking for hotels located near the country’s air, land and sea entry points in view of setting up quarantine centres.
