“…There has been no study so far on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at the subnational level, notably in the border hinterland regions. However, there are several studies at the national level, such as by Chin (2020), Khor et al (2020), Muhamad et al (2020), Hairuddin et al (2020), andHamid et al (2021) that examined the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the supply chain of various economic sectors in Malaysia. From the Indonesian perspective, Abao (2020), Musa et al (2021), andRohani andYaniza (2021) studied the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the socio-economic conditions of the border community in Entikong and its surrounding areas.…”

“…However, non-essential products, such as tobacco, hides, skins, fur skins, and leather products, saw a drop in exports during the COVID-19 epidemic.

Tourism was one of the most directly affected sectors, and as such needs immediate and long-term recovery responses.…”

Malaysia and Indonesia have taken a soft border approach to govern their Tebedu-Entikong border regions. Both governments have open but controlled customs, immigration, and quarantine facilities to manage cross-border movement of people, goods, and capital. Unfortunately, the ongoing cross-border governance was challenged by a non-traditional security threat, i.e., the COVID-19 pandemic that began in early 2020. The pandemic has the potential to impede the implementation of bilateral border policies which could jeopardize the efforts of the Socio-Economy of Malaysia-Indonesia Committee (Sosek Malindo) to effectively integrate both economies in the border region since its inception in 1985. In relation to this context, this paper aims to: (i) evaluate the challenges/impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and outstanding border issues on trade and development in the Entikong-Tebedu border region; and (ii) assess the role of Sosek Malindo in promoting greater integration and seamless connectivity in the Entikong-Tebedu border region. This paper presents a case-study on the Entikong-Tebedu border region and draws its observations and findings from inferences and interpretation of data collected from officials and other credible sources. Desk research was conducted on reports of Sosek Malindo meetings and research materials. Fieldwork was also conducted to observe the socioeconomic development status at the location of interest. The evaluation and assessment can be a reference point to reformulate cross-border governance policies that are characteristically a win-win solution for both parties by guaranteeing national security without compromising the socioeconomic development of the border region.

An unfavourable truth about the immigrant population that colonised Kuala Lumpur was exposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. This phenomenon contributes to the declining ability of the tourism industry to generate revenue. Local tourists are less likely to book accommodations in tourist destinations due to the presence of immigrant colonies that have reportedly violated the COVID-19 vaccination programme, which has a detrimental effect on the tourism industry. The paper aims to analyse the problems faced by the authorities in controlling the immigrants and managing this tourist destination, especially post-COVID-19. The qualitative data were gathered through doctrinal study and semi-structured interviews, whilst a survey was chosen as the quantitative data method. Later, qualitative and quantitative data were triangulated and analysed using specific coding and themes. The study discovered that the immigrant influx in the centre of Kuala Lumpur negatively impacted the tourism industry. Other than cleanliness, dilution of local identity and safety were two significant issues requiring reformation of the existing laws. The output of this research may assist the policy maker, administrator, tourism operator and the government in identifying the proper aftermath of COVID-19 resolution tailored to the actual problem in the tourism industry.

“…However, in 2020, Malaysia was shocked by the spread of the coronavirus , which hit Malaysia and the whole world. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, Malaysia's tourism sector has lost a billion dollars in the first six months of this year (Hamid et al, 2021). The outbreak also shook the tourism industry, which was dealing with dwindling visitor numbers, a lack of product innovation, and a reluctance to convert to digital operations as a result of the epidemic.…”
