Foreign minister: Malaysia hopes Singapore consider flexibility on Periodic Commuting Arrangement scheme

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein speaks during the 8th US-Asean Summit in Kuala Lumpur November 15, 2020. ― Picture by Ahmad ZamzahuriSINGAPORE, May 2 — Malaysia hopes that the government of Singapore can consider giving flexibility in allowing Malaysian workers and diplomats under the Periodic Commuting Arrangement scheme to be quarantined at their own residence.

The scheme, a Safe Travel Lane agreed between the two governments, kicked off in mid-August last year. *Singapore is currently suspending the RGL arrangements with Malaysia for a period of three months from Feb 1.“We understand that the proposal comes with its own challenges, therefore we urge the respective lead agencies on both sides to intensify their efforts and find a way to implement and operationalise this,” he said.

An agreement has been reached between the Singapore Smart Nation and Digital Government Office and the Malaysian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation to digitally read and verify health certificates issued by both countries.
