KUALA LUMPUR – The government plans to set up special travel lanes for vaccinated individuals travelling between Malaysia and Singapore.
Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said discussions on the matter involving several ministries from both countries are under way.
She said once approved, the establishment of the special travel lanes will be announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
“Other ministers will also discuss the matter with their counterparts from Singapore to ensure the plan goes ahead smoothly.
