I mean I top up to take my MIL to JB for shopping lah.

I wrote wrongly

I think we have to treat as donation to charity, kiss it goodbye.

Think I also have RM1-200 inside and it was a new card mid-2019 😒

For fully-vaccinated travellers entering Malaysia from Apr. 1, they will not be required to undergo quarantine.

However, they must do a PCR swab test two days before departure and a ART test 24 hours upon arrival in Malaysia.

 

Could be a April fool joke 🤣

It is likely to be Land VTL 2.0.

Test and release.

Everyone in the car has to wait for 2 hrs at checkpoint for PCR Test.

If 1 person positive, don't know whole car go back or just 1 person go back

Go already cannot come back.. April fool.. 😄

[Jamesc]

Maybe May 1 can go in no need testing.

[Jamesc]

Everyone in MY fully vaxxed already

Malaysia has administered at least 67,797,494 doses of COVID vaccines so far. Assuming every person needs 2 doses, that’s enough to have vaccinated about 106.1% of the country’s population.

Malaysia border reopening: Can I cross the border hassle-free now?
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/malaysia-border-reopening-can-i-cross-the-border-hassle-free-now

“Q: What does Malaysia's recent announcement mean? Can I return to Singapore, also quarantine free?

A: The latest announcement by Malaysian authorities theoretically removes the cap on the number of Singapore travellers who can enter Malaysia, from April 1. 

But the existing cap on the number of travellers who can enter Singapore quarantine-free remains for now. 

In effect, this means that while Singaporeans can travel to Malaysia without the previous Covid-19 restrictions, they may not be able to do so on the way home.

Currently, Singapore still maintains its decision to only let those travelling from Malaysia to be exempt from quarantine if they do so via the VTL scheme, which remains capped - at 4,320 both ways each day by bus, while the cap for air VTL for individual countries are not disclosed.

There is no cap on non-VTL flights. Those who do not use the VTL scheme will have to serve a seven-day stay home notice. 

Q: Can I drive into Malaysia from April 1?

A: Malaysia has not made clear its plans on whether the Causeway will be reopened to private drivers, with current arrangements before April 1 still subject to the land VTL scheme. Today, travellers can make the trip overland only if they book bus tickets on either Transtar or Causeway Link.

The Singapore authorities have also not made further announcements on the matter. Again, this means that even if people could drive from Singapore to Malaysia, they would not be able to drive their cars back to Singapore.

 

[verramarc]

ya probably supervised ART pre departure and within 24h on arrival for both sides, similar to the current land VTL via bus

[mersaylee]

I suspect there'll be a VTL carbon tax...many peeps will go there clear...😁
