The move, they said, was timely and could help reduce congestion at the two land crossings between both countries.

Lorry driver M. Sarawana, 49, said the move would help them make delivery of essential goods to Singapore smoother and safer.

“Getting the vaccine early would make it much easier for us to travel between the two countries as we need not continue taking Covid-19 test every time we enter Singapore, ” he said. “I hope to be among those getting the vaccine for free, but if we have to pay I wouldn’t mind forking out the money if it will allow me to get it earlier for both my safety and those around me, ” he said.

S. Sugunthan, 27, said the move could ease the minds of those who have to travel back and forth between the two countries.“I hope those who have been vaccinated would not have to take the Covid-19 test each time we enter, ” he said, adding that this would save them at least 20 minutes.
