A trickle of traffic seen along the Causeway linking Malaysia and Singapore on 18 March 2020, the first day of Malaysia's two-week border lockdown.
Speaking at a virtual media briefing by the multi-ministry task force on COVID-19, MTF co-chair and Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong told reporters that discussions with Malaysia on the matter have progressed well. "Many families have been separated from one another for a long time because of border restrictions. We hope this land link arrangement will allow many of them to be reunited and they will be one of our priorities," said Gan.
Meanwhile, travellers from Indonesia may enter Singapore under the VTL from 29 November. Transport Minister S Iswaran added that authorities aim to start two daily VTL flights each from Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai by the same date. The conditions for the new VTLs are the same as those for existing VTLs, and are for entry into Singapore only.
