00:00This is an event where we launch the Satellite Expatriate Center, or ESC for short.

00:10I am very pleased to have the opportunity to launch the Satellite Expatriate Center, or ESC, at Terminal 2, KLIA.

00:23Malaysia has recorded an increase in the number of expatriates,

00:28and this also shows that Malaysia has become a destination for multinational companies and investors.

00:38The increase in the number of expatriates and investment

00:43will certainly have a positive impact on the country's economy,

00:47as well as creating job opportunities.

00:51The Malaysian Immigration Department, together with the Malaysian Cooperation Talent Corporation,

00:58play an important role in easing all immigration-related matters through this ESC.

01:07The ESC is an immigration pass-through center for expatriates,

01:12their professional and responsibilities,

01:16and allows them to live and work part-time in Malaysia.

01:21This is in line with the 30-day waiting period.

01:26The types of pass-throughs are employment pass-through, or EP,

01:30responsibility pass-through, or DP,

01:33expert certificate pass-through, or PLEC,

01:36long-term social certificate pass-through, or PLS,

01:40resident talent pass-through, or RP,

01:43and resident talent responsibility pass-through.

01:46So, in line with the success of the ESC at KLIA Terminal 1,

01:51in easing expatriate matters to work properly in Malaysia,

01:56after receiving the pass-through,

01:58the Malaysian Immigration Department and the Malaysian Cooperation Talent Corporation

02:02have decided to expand the ESC service,

02:06and this time, we're doing it at KLIA Terminal 2.

02:10The ESC at KLIA Terminal 2 will be fully operational 24 hours a day,

02:17starting on June 4th,

02:20with the deployment of four officers,

02:24who will be on shifts.

02:27Since we started operations on June 4th until today,

02:33the ESC has issued a total of 72 pass-throughs so far.

02:38And I believe that the opening of the ESC

02:42proves the sincerity and commitment of the gym,

02:46and of course with the cooperation of the Talent Corp,

02:48in easing immigration matters,

02:51and furthermore,

02:52contributing significantly to the development of the country.

03:04Who are the target groups that come here as expatriates,

03:09with the types of pass-throughs that I mentioned earlier?

03:12All types of pass-throughs can be handled here.

03:15So our target is the expatriate groups

03:20that work here,

03:24with each multinational company,

03:26and various investment companies,

03:29and the role of the Talent Corp and the role of immigration in this matter

03:34is to make it easier for them,

03:36so that they feel that this is also part of ease of doing business.

03:40If the Prime Minister has carried out a worldwide promotion,

03:44and then attracted investors,

03:46attracted multinational companies,

03:48so the Talent Corp and Immigration feel proud

03:52of the finishing line,

03:55which is to make it easier for the expatriate pass-throughs to be issued.

03:59We have managed to provide a fast and efficient service.

04:04At the moment,

04:05we are installing ESCs at Terminal 1 and Terminal 2,

04:11without rejecting the possibility,

04:13on the opening day,

04:15for the potential of opening

04:17in other multinational airports.

04:25Thank you.
