We are optimistic of establishing a travel lane between Singapore and Sarawak which is among important matters the Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture Sarawak (MTAC) is looking into, in order to rejuvenate and boost to the local tourism industry.
The official announcement will be made once we have secured this arrangements and Insyallah, it will be there. I was responding to queries from our media friends who reported that Malaysia and Singapore will reopen their mutual border with a special Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) between Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Changi Airport from 29 November onwards.
Under the VTL arrangements, fully-vaccinated travellers will be able to travel between Singapore and Malaysia, and be subjected to Covid-19 tests in lieu of serving quarantine or stay at home notices. On 8 November, Malaysia’s Prime Minister ,Dato Sri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong made a joint statement on this matter and said both countries have made significant progress in vaccinating their respective populations and managing the Covid19 pandemic. Following that, both Prime Ministers have agreed that it is timely to progressively resume cross-border travel between both countries, in a safe manner. The border between the two countries was closed since 18 March when Malaysia enforced the Movement Control Order (MCO).
