THERE is no reason for Malaysia to delay reopening its borders when countries with lower Covid-19 vaccination rates are already welcoming tourists, says Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (PN-Pagoh).

The National Recovery Council (NRC) chairman said he had already recommended that the government fully reopen the country’s international borders as early as March 1, with adherence to the SOP set by the Health Ministry.
