JOHOR BARU: For many, the Mid-Autumn Festival – the second most important Chinese festival after the Lunar New Year – is a much anticipated time of reunion among family members and loved ones.

That is not the case for a pair of 21-year-old twins working in Singapore. Not only were they unable to celebrate the occasion with their family in Malaysia, they were also forced to be apart for the festive season after one of them tested positive for Covid-19 a few days ago.
