SG Talk

Malaysia eased virus restrictions for those who have completed the full vaccination regime, allowing them to cross state borders and dine at restaurants as authorities seek to re-open the economy.

Long-distance spouses can travel to see each other from Aug. 10, and parents can visit children who are below 18, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said in a televised broadcast on Sunday. Malaysians returning from overseas only need to quarantine at home, he said.


Malaysia is charting a path toward living with the virus even as daily cases remain high, following Singapore in using vaccination levels as the key to providing more leeway and privileges. The development comes just days after Malaysia’s health ministry urged caution against lifting curbs for fully-inoculated people, as new cases topped 20,000 for a second straight day on Friday. Sunday’s tally was at 18,688.

The gamble is greater for Malaysia though with its fully-vaccinated population at a level that’s less than half of its neighbor’s. It has over 224,000 active virus cases compared with about 2,000 in Singapore.

About 31% of Malaysia’s adult population has received both vaccine doses, while 64% have gotten at least one dose, according to the health ministry. Singapore aims to vaccinate 80% of its population by early next month, while Malaysia expects to inoculate 60% of its adults by end-September.

Dun talkb abt boeh land. They always copycat. When policy is mismatched , severe negative result will follow.

SG is lightly subtlely doing the same also

So vaccinated can go JB 

Unvaxxed people can't even threaten to take their business to JB if they can't dine-in in SG. Not welcomed in Msia. So poor thing.

Govt is forcing 30% business to them without having to spend a single cent..

Anyway, quite a number of hawkers are suffering due to no dine in policy..

So kill 2 birds with 1 stone..
