Singapore and Malaysia have finalised arrangements for long-term pass holders and travellers on essential or official business to cross the border — applications for which will kick off on Aug 10, Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan announced on Sunday (Jul 26).
Operational details for the reciprocal green lane and periodic commuting arrangement will be published in the next few days.
Meanwhile, the two countries have also agreed to develop a proposal for daily commuters crossing the border for work.
This will take into account the required health protocols and available medical resources in both countries to ensure the safety of citizens of both sides.
“Give us a couple of weeks to monitor the figures both in Malaysia in particular Johor and in Singapore, and as we gain greater confidence that the control of the pandemic is well-executed in both places, we can then begin the discussions for how we can allow daily commuting,” said Dr Balakrishnan.
