Return to normalcy: People seen walking across the Causeway from Singapore into Malaysia on April 1. The reopening of land borders was a milestone for both countries. — THOMAS YONG/The Star
THE last time I was interviewed by The Star was in June 2020 when we were in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. The borders were closed, leaving Malaysians and Singaporeans stranded. We knew little about the virus, and vaccines were yet to be rolled out. It was a difficult time for all of us.
Almost two years later, I am heartened that Singapore and Malaysia are emerging from the shadow of the pandemic. The reopening of our land borders earlier this month was a milestone for both countries. For the first time in two years, we saw queues at the Causeway as many made their way home to see their loved ones.
