This is from today's The Star newspaper

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has abolished the “visa on arrival” scheme for 27 countries effective today.
A Wisma Putra official said the countries included India, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Pakistan, with most of the other nations being from Africa.
He said the Home Ministry had issued a circular to this effect last week, following which Wisma Putra notified the missions concerned.
As such, the foreign citizens concerned would require a proper visa from the Malaysian mission in their respective countries to visit Malaysia. – Bernama
