KL may lift travel ban for some citizens

Putrajaya

MALAYSIA could temporarily lift its travel ban for citizens who commute to Singapore for work if they can be housed there, Senior Minister for Security Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Thursday.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference at the Prime Minister's office, he noted the "worrying" predicament of these workers, whose livelihoods were affected when Malaysia closed its border for a fortnight under its Movement Control Order.
