    SINGAPORE is in talks to "reconnect" with more Asean neighbours, with 8 countries in the region being upgraded in the Republic's travel risk classification system, said Transport Minister S Iswaran on Monday (Nov 8) shortly after news broke of the upcoming Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) with Malaysia.

    VTLs are being launched with Finland and Sweden too, and travellers from Category 2 and 3 countries will have a choice of pre-departure tests.
