M’sians Who Did Not Check In on MySejahtera at Penang Homestay Gets Fined RM1k Each!
Don’t forget to check in on your MySejahtera no matter where you are!
A Malaysian by the username of @ikaarejab has shared on TikTok about how she and her family got fined when they did not check in to their Airbnb stay.
@ikaarejab Merry Christmas guys ?????? #waitforit #opskrismas
In the TikTok video that has gone viral, Ika booked an Airbnb stay in Batu Ferringhi, Penang during Christmas to spend time with her family.
However, they received a surprise visit at night by the police.
“We heard the doorbell ring at 12am and thought that it was Santa Claus, but it turns out that it was the police.”
A group of policemen with some MOH officers who were on patrol came into the homestay and started checking everything.
It was discovered that Ika and her family did not check in on MySejahtera at the homestay and they were given “Christmas presents”.
The fines were RM1,000 each and it totals at RM4,000 as there were 4 of them.
Ika has said that there was only 1 Mysejahtera check-in point that was at the first gate. They did not notice the QR code there as they had gone in through the side door.
With this, Ika hopes to remind everyone to check in on Mysejahtera when going to homestays or Airbnbs!
It is still the holiday season, so, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Check-in on MySejahtera everywhere you go!
