‘Singapore’s lorry driver test rules may lead to bottleneck’

JOHOR BARU: Lorry drivers and their assistants heading to Singapore with goods will have to do pre-departure Covid-19 tests here first, with the republic to cease on-arrival testing from Thursday, according to the Johor Trucking Association.

Its president Novan Hing said the move would cause a “bottleneck” as Malaysian lorry drivers would have to go for tests at an accredited facility every two to three days before entering Singapore.
