SINGAPORE – Singapore and Malaysia will continue to work closely to ensure the continuous flow of goods and supplies between the two countries during the latter’s 14-day total lockdown from June 1-14.
The republic’s Trade and Industry Ministry Gan Kim Yong said the two neighbouring countries have been working closely since the start of the pandemic last year.
“We will continue to do so following Malaysia’s recent announcement of further tightened measures to control the pandemic within their country,” he said in the ministry’s official Facebook page today.
Malaysia will be implementing Phase 1 of the lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19, before then easing restrictions after the two-week period.
The country’s daily tally of Covid-19 cases stood at a record-high of 9,020 today, breaching the 9,000 mark for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic in January last year. – Bernama, May 29, 2021
