One of the world’s busiest border crossings is slowly reopening, months after it was closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Singapore and Malaysia will implement a reciprocal green lane for travel across their border, which some 300,000 people traverse by land each day. Officials are aiming to start the program August 10, facilitating travel for essential business and official purposes, according to a statement Tuesday from foreign affairs ministries in both nations.
The news could come as a reprieve to two countries trying to safely reopen economies hammered by disruptions from the pandemic. Singapore plunged into recession last quarter as an extended lockdown shuttered businesses and decimated retail spending. The re-opening of some travel comes after border lockdowns were imposed starting in March.
