All set for interstate travel

PETALING JAYA: With the nation on the verge of allowing interstate travel – which has been banned since Jan 13 – efforts are being made by all parties to ensure that it will be a success, as it is expected to benefit consumers and companies alike.

Economics expert Prof Yeah Kim Leng said easing travel restrictions would enable greater economic and social activities to take place that in turn would boost consumption spending as well as relieve social and mental stress for families coping with prolonged separations.
