Once again I expressed hope for there will no much restrictions on interstate travel once it is allowed in Sarawak and for the requirements of police permits to be scrapped in order for us to be more practical as the economy gradually reopens.
I have mentioned this during the press conference held at Sarawak Culture Village yesterday morning and this is because the flight frequency to Sarawak now had already been increased from 22 flights to 87 flights weekly.
Although I am sitting on the State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) myself, I have to admit sometimes there are too many restrictions. One is the need for police permit as well as the requirement to apply online before entering Sarawak. I have also questioned whether the relevant department will be able to handle thousands of online applications if visitors to the state are continued to be required to submit online applications before entering.
As for the swab tests, why must we make it difficult for visitors to come in if the visitors have already completed full Covid-19 vaccination and we should just let them come in. I hope matters concerning visitors’ entry into Sarawak will be further fine tuned by SDMC once interstate travel is allowed because it will facilitate the entry requirements and is convenient for those concerned.
