Johor folk hope spike in S’pore won’t halt border reopening

JOHOR BARU: Groups here are hoping that the spike in the number of Covid-19 cases in Singapore will not dampen efforts to reopen the border with the island republic.

Johor Tourist Guides Association chairman Jimmy Leong Wie Kong said increase in cases should not be a reason to hinder talks and reopen the border as most people in both Malaysia and Singapore were fully vaccinated.

Positive thinking: Leong says both countries know to follow SOP and prevent the spread of the disease.
