Both sides take just 20 minutes to reach agreement


JOHOR BARU: Except for several hundred vehicles transporting goods to Singapore, cross-border travel between Malaysia and the island republic has been shut for over four months now.

But it only took a 20-minute meeting between Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and Dr Vivian Balakrishnan by the roadside of the Causeway to agree to a reopening of the border.
