Cross-border travel okayed


JOHOR BARU: The Causeway, closed off to most traffic due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will be busy again when cross-border travel is allowed from Aug 17 following a historic meeting between Malaysia and Singapore on the 1km link.

Wearing face masks and standing a metre apart, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein met his Singapore counterpart Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, with both men announcing in a joint statement that they had agreed to allow cross-border travel between the two countries under the Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) and Periodic Commuting Arrangement (PCA).
