ISKANDAR PUTERI – A move to allow Malaysian workers who have received Covid-19 vaccination in Singapore to return to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri is being studied.
Johor Investment, Entrepreneur Development, Cooperative and Human Resource Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Izhar Ahmad said the relaxation included providing special green lane passes to those involved.
“Yes, this is among the matters being worked out. Workers who have been vaccinated may be given special green lane passes.
“We have to sit down to discuss and study whether those in the cluster category over there should also be given the relaxation,” he told reporters after launching the “Ziarah Kasih Ihya Ramadhan” programme by the Johor Entrepreneur Development Council here today.
Izhar said vaccination is among the conditions agreed to between Malaysia and Singapore in the discussion to open up the border, and Johor would adhere to it as such
“We were told that all our people should be vaccinated. So Johor is taking the proactive step to expedite vaccination as soon as possible to enable the border checkpoint opening agreement with Singapore to be met,” he said.
He also said Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong are expected to discuss the matter early next month. – Bernama, April 25, 2021
