JOHOR BARU: Stakeholders are keeping their fingers crossed that the southern Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) for land crossings will not be derailed even as the Omicron variant of concern has been detected in Malaysia and Singapore.
The bilateral quarantine-free VTL-Land kicked off on Monday for a daily maximum of 2,880 travellers (via designated buses only) for the fully vaccinated subject to Covid-19 tests. It is for Malaysian and Singaporean citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders.
Johor South SME Association adviser Teh Kee Sin said the strict standard operating procedure (SOP) that was already in place for the facility underlined both governments’ seriousness in ensuring the safety and health of all on both sides of the Causeway.
