  "account": "Pengarah Eksekutif Mandiri Amir Hadi has demanded explanations regarding the border controls imposed on him. Located in Kuala Lumpur, Amir expressed his lack of prior knowledge about the reason behind the imposed restrictions and announced his intention to contact Bukit Aman for further clarification and to understand the cancellation procedure. He also stated his willingness to fully cooperate with authorities if any ongoing investigations involve him or his organization. Amir emphasized that arbitrary restrictions without any explanation do not reflect a democratic nation, highlighting the importance of freedom of movement and individual rights. Upon being contacted, Amir informed FMT that he decided to check his travel status after a colleague was blocked from entering Malaysia after returning from Jakarta the previous weekend. This prompted him to use the MyBorderPass application, which subsequently revealed that he was subjected to border controls. Amir claims that these controls were imposed by Bukit Aman authorities. FMT is seeking a response from the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding this matter.",
