SINGAPORE, Nov 15 (The Straits Times/ANN): The land border between Singapore and Malaysia could reopen in a few weeks' time under a "Vaccinated Travel Lane-like arrangement", in what could be a major step in easing the 20-month segregation of the two neighbouring countries that has caused a lot of strain on families.

Without providing further details, co-chairman of the Covid-19 multi-ministry task force and Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong on Monday (Nov 15) said that discussions with Malaysia are progressing well.
