PETALING JAYA – Malaysians in Singapore are allowed to return to Malaysia to attend the funerals of their respective immediate family members without having to undergo the mandatory 14-day quarantine period as it is considered an emergency.
Those who return are allowed to be at the burial ceremony only for a maximum of three hours and they have to be clad in full personal protective equipment (PPE), Malaysia’s Senior Minister (Security) Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Tuesday (May 26).
“They will be escorted by front-liners to their family members at the burial site for a maximum of three hours,” he said during his daily briefing on the country’s conditional movement control order. “After that, they will be sent back to Singapore.”
Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri said this was in line with present standard operating procedures and that such cases had happened before.
But whether or not they would be subjected to quarantine upon their return to Singapore is the prerogative of Singapore’s authorities, he added.
“It’s up to Singapore itself when they return,” he said.
