KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 (Bernama): Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said he had asked Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad to discuss the issue of cross-border movement with Singapore, especially for Malaysians commuting to the neighbouring country for work.

"The important thing is the daily cross-border (movement) as it involves hundreds of thousands, while Singapore is still not open (the border for that purpose). Workers (Malaysians) in the republic have not returned (to Malaysia) because day movements to Johor Bahru have not been allowed for more than a year,” he said in a special interview with senior media editors here recently.
