Singapore’s goal is to keep reopening more borders with Malaysia, despite governments around the world imposing a flurry of travel restrictions to curb the spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant.
The two neighboring countries aim to expand their land and air vaccinated travel lanes to include general travelers from mid-December and are in discussion to pilot a similar arrangement for cruise ships, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. He was speaking with his Malaysia counterpart Ismail Sabri Yaakob at a press briefing on Monday to mark the reopening of borders after more than a year of being shut.
