PETALING JAYA – Scores of Singaporeans are in favour of opening the border with Malaysia to facilitate activities between both countries, a survey shows.
A survey by YouGov Omnibus revealed that 63per cent of the 1,123 Malaysians and Singaporeans surveyed were of the opinion that the border should reopen but only 35per cent of the Malaysians supported the idea.
Many who took part in the poll believed that several measures should be implemented when travel restrictions between Singapore and Malaysia are relaxed.
The survey found that 76per cent of those polled wanted temperature checks to be taken before crossing the border.
Another 72per cent felt that declaration of symptoms should be done before passing the border.
It also revealed that 65per cent wanted contact tracing measures in place while 58per cent believed swab tests should be conducted one week prior to making the crossing.
About 55per cent of those polled also said citizens of both countries must observe a 14-day quarantine period and another 52per cent said the same should be done upon returning to their respective nations.
