Businesses hail Singapore-Malaysia 'green lane', but worry about costs

Singapore

SINGAPORE companies have welcomed news of the official "green lane" arrangements confirmed on Saturday for business travel between Singapore and Malaysia.

Companies told The Business Times that the requirements and processes for the Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) and Periodic Commuting Arrangement (PCA) schemes seem valid and feasible, although a few were concerned about the costs adding up for employers, who will have to pay for their employees' Covid-19 swab tests, accommodation and dedicated transport to isolation facilities upon entry.
