Working papers and standard operating procedures (SOP) have been submitted by the Johor state government to the Foreign Ministry to expedite reopening of the Malaysia-Singapore border, said Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad.

The Johor Mentri Besar hopes the effort will be considered, and can be improved upon the agreement of both countries in fully reopening the borders.

A total of 8,270 individuals have used the Periodic Commuting Arrangement (PCA) facility, while a total of 327 individuals have used the Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) to cross the Johor-Singapore border up until August 31.

“I am confident if the PCA and RGL introduced since August 17 are successful, the federal government can open up the Johor-Singapore border with a planned and effective SOP in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic," said Hasni.
