We welcome the proposed Malaysia-Brunei vaccinated travel lane (VTL) which is timely and capable of reviving and enlivening Sarawak’s tourism sector just as it was before the Covid-19 started. I have mentioned this to our media friends at the sidelines of the recent State Legislative Assembly sitting and it is good for us because Sarawak shares borders with Brunei. We would definitely benefit from the reopening of the borders and hoping such efforts can be implemented soon. The positive outcomes of the VTL will bring more Bruneians travellers into Miri just like before Covid-19 hit, most visitors to Sarawak were from Brunei.
If the borders were opened, it will surely revive Sarawak’s tourism sector just as it was before Covid19 and we are also hoping that the VTL could also be implemented with Singapore and Indonesia for the benefit of the tourism industry. We thank our right honourable Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob recent announcement on Malaysia together with Brunei had agreed in principle to implement the air and land VTL initiative for cross-border movement between the two countries. Likewise, Malaysia and Brunei had also agreed to recognise the use of "MySejahtera" and "BruHealth" applications in both countries to facilitate system integration and use by the people of both countries.
