Since our country has been affected by the Covid-19, we have been blocking the country’s borders since March 2020. This has also affected both the country’s economy and tourism. In the third year since the outbreak hit Malaysia, many people have urged the government to open the borders, including Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A.
According to the BBC, Tony Fernandes urged the government at the Singapore Airshow to be “brave” and open the country’s borders for the sake of people’s livelihoods and the economy, adding that “politicians must be brave.”
“It’s time to take a deep breath and assess the facts. It is no longer logical to close the national border because Omicron is already in the community. Now we must protect people’s livelihoods and economies. ” He said.
Tony Fernande believes that it is also time to draw a line under many of the preventive measures so that people can move forward. For me, open borders means no quarantine, no forms to fill out, no ongoing testing.
It’s time to move on and get on with our lives, “said Tony Fernande, who believes that many of the anti-epidemic measures should also be brought to a close so that people can move forward. “For me, open borders means no quarantine, no forms to fill out, no ongoing testing.
“It’s time to move forward and get on with our lives.”
According to a report in The Star, Tourism, Arts, and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said earlier that the government must assess various factors before opening the country’s borders to the Malaysian tourism industry without implementing a tourism bubble. She said the ministry is conducting in-depth studies and preparations, including discussions with other countries’ tourism ministries.
In addition, the National Recovery Council Chairman, Tan Sri Muhyiddin, publicly shouted to the Prime Minister, saying the reopening of the national border is the request of the National Recovery Council, and the meeting was attended by Health Minister Khairy, “When asked when the Minister of Health could open the national border, the Minister of Health also replied that it could be opened on March 1. “
