JOHOR BARU: The discussion and preparation to reopen the Malaysia-Singapore border are ongoing, says Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad.

He said Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has assured him that the Federal Government is doing its best to ensure that the reopening of the border would take place soon.

"When? We may need to wait for Singapore to be done with its general election but preparation and discussion between the two countries are still ongoing," he said. Hasni said the Johor government has given suggestions on ways to ensure that those working in Singapore would be able to commute daily again.

He said this in his speech at SK Kampung Dato' Ibrahim Majid in Simpang Renggam during his working visit to the Kluang district on Sunday . Earlier, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said that Singapore's general election would not cause a delay in the reopening of border between the island republic and Malaysia."Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was present during the virtual Asean summit meeting on Friday and even after the election was announced, I was also still in discussion with Singapore's Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan," he said.
