Kuala Lumpur/Singapore: Malaysia and Singapore have started contemplating on a timeline to open up their borders for land and air travel after their tourism sector suffered on the account of covid19 for two years.

Both ministers have agreed to focus on resuming land and air travel for entirely inoculated travellers on a tight quota structure.
