Malaysia’s Minister of Health, Khairy Jamaluddin, announced earlier today that sales of the bus and flight tickets for the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) with Singapore has been resumed, effective today (21 January).
He further added that the quota for the bus and flight VTLs will be reduced by 50 percent of their original capacity.
Jamaluddin added that the decision to resume the sales of VTL tickets was made after assessing the risk and Covid-19 situation in both countries, according to Bernama.
Previously suspended
Sales of the Singapore-Malaysia VTL tickets were previously suspended on 23 December 2021 by Singapore’s MOH, in light of the Omicron variant uncertainties.
Khairy further added that as for any future increases to the ticket sales quota, it largely depends on the risk assessments that they will be subsequently carrying out.
Travelers are reminded to perform their own ART tests on days 2, 4, and 6 after their arrival in Malaysia; along with professional ART tests on days 3 and 5.
