PUTRAJAYA - Malaysia could temporarily lift its travel ban for citizens who commute to Singapore for work, if they can be housed there, Senior Minister for Security Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Thursday .
He said the matter has been discussed by Malaysia Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong as well as between himself and his Singapore counterpart Teo Chee Hean. Malaysia's Senior Minister for Economy Azmin Ali and his Singapore counterpart Chan Chun Sing have also been in talks.
Mr Ismail, who is also the Umno vice-president, also warned on Wednesday that the military may have to be activated if Malaysians fail to adhere to instructions to stay home. "It was suggested and discussed, the likely outcome if the situation cannot be fully controlled, is that the military will be utilised.
Singapore companies are accommodating the msian workers who chose to continue work in Singapore. Some companies have scaled down operation. I guess those badly affected are the promoters, sales staff, casual and contract workers. We can Let them Take a break and stay home in Msia
If no accommodation, nvm the Msian workers can take unpaid leave and take a break to stay back in msia to spend time with your family. After the Order, their job is still available for them. Unpaid leave is better than no job at all after that.
Malaysia isnt coming up with a plan to house their citizens who need accommodation in Singapore.... imagine that
Because Singapore need them back to work, thus if arrangement could be made, win-win. If they are not need, you think?
