Long border closure with Singapore straining family ties, says group

JOHOR BARU: The Federal Government needs to put in more effort to reopen the border with Singapore as the 13-month-long closure is causing a lot of strain on families.

Malaysia-Singapore Workers Task Force president Dayalan Sreebalan said there was an increase in the number of cases related to depression and family crises, other than the agony of not seeing their loved ones since March 18 last year.
