JOHOR BARU: The Causeway, closed off to most traffic due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will be busy again when cross-border travel is allowed from Aug 17 following a historic meeting between Malaysia and Singapore on the 1km link. “If this is successful, then we can conduct further discussions with Singapore to open cross-border travel for others,” he told reporters at Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine. RGL and PCA will only facilitate cross-border travel for official, business and work purposes between Singapore and Malaysia. RGL will allow 400 Malaysians and Singaporeans to travel to and from the two countries every week but this is restricted to official travel and important business matters. PCA will allow some 2,000 Malaysians and Singaporeans with long-term work permits to cross the Causeway and the Second Link every day.
