JOHOR BARU (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Malaysians and Singaporeans have hailed the move by their governments to allow for travel on compassionate grounds between the two countries.
Mother of three Norshikin Mohd Salleh, 39, described the announcement as good news, especially for those who have families in Johor and the island republic.
Her younger sibling, she said, is working in Singapore and they have not met each other for more than a year due to the border closure. Hopefully, the rules under the new travel method between Singapore and Malaysia will not be that complex, but make it easier for people to visit their loved ones who are sickly or to pay their respects to those who have passed away.
