GEORGE TOWN: Friends and family members of foreigners who are in Penang on social visit passes are in the dark over instructions by their respective embassies telling them to leave the country before April 21.
Most of them expressed shock and described the matter as confusing as they had not been briefed about the latest guideline.
A Japanese expatriate, who only wanted to be known as Osaki, said his 89-year-old mother, who has a social visit pass, had been staying with him in Tanjung Bungah since January last year.
