ISKANDAR PUTERI: There are more than 40,000 Malaysians still in Singapore and the state hopes that exemptions will be made by the island republic for them to be tested for Covid-19 before they are allowed to return to Johor. “That means a Malaysian can’t get the test done in Singapore unless they are symptomatic. “We hope Singapore will allow for some exemptions so that Malaysians who want to return can get this test done at its clinics or hospitals, ” he said in an interview here. “The government will not stop Malaysians returning from Singapore and I can assure them that our frontliners have taken all the necessary steps and procedures at our border, ” he said. Hasni urged returning Malaysians to give their full cooperation to the frontliners conducting the necessary screening and testing at the checkpoints.
