SINGAPORE, March 12 (Bernama): Singapore welcomed Malaysia's announcement to reopen its border on April 1, noting that it can’t pre-determine the date of re-opening on its side for now, according to the republic’s Multi Ministry Taskforce (MTF) on Covid-19.

At a virtual press conference on Friday night (March 11), the MTF’s co-chair Gan Kim Yong reiterated that the island-state is working out the detailed operation arrangements with its northern neighbour and will share more details when it is ready.
