Malaysia and Singapore are set to announce which passenger categories will be allowed to travel between the two neighbouring countries.
During his Covid-19 briefing today, Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah shared that the categories were being determined.
“Discussions with Singapore have moved beyond the preliminary stage.
“Maybe we will determine which groups we will allow (to travel between the countries). God-willing we will announce this soon,” he said when asked about the progress of the ministry’s travel bubble discussions with several countries.
Aside from Singapore, Malaysia is also considering allowing travel to and from Brunei, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
Today, Noor Hisham stressed that talks with the latter five nations remain at early stages with no implementation date in sight.
“We are still discussing and we have yet to set (a date) for implementation [...]
“We need to look at the current situation in these countries, and also (what) standard operating procedure (SOP) can be used for both countries,” he explained.
For a travel bubble between two countries to be established, they need to decide on a common SOP. - Mkini
