After a 2-year absence, the land border between Malaysia and Singapore has finally been fully opened on April 1, 2022. People can travel between the two countries without the need for COVID-19 tests and quarantines, returning to their pre-epidemic state.
According to Singapore’s “Lianhe Zaobao” report, the Immigration and Checkpoints Bureau also announced the flow of people in the first three days after the official opening on April 1.
Among them, from April 1 to 3 (as of 5 pm), land checkpoints recorded 56,000 arrivals in Singapore, while the number of departures was double the number of arrivals, totaling 120,200.
Of the 56,000 people who arrived in Singapore, the largest number of people arrived in Singapore by vehicle, with a total of 23,500 people; 20,000 people arrived by bus; 12,500 people arrived by motorcycle.
As for departures, 43,300 people and 43,000 people left the country by vehicles and buses respectively, and 33,900 people rode motorcycles to Malaysia.
In any case, with the implementation of a simplified travel framework for vaccinated people between Malaysia and Singapore, it is believed that the situation will gradually return to the situation of large numbers of people going back and forth between the two countries every day.
