Businesses hope land VTL with Malaysia will let in new workers too

Singapore

WHILE Singapore's business community welcomes the upcoming Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) across the Causeway between Singapore and Malaysia, many hope that new workers will be allowed to use the lane soon, to alleviate the labour crunch.

The Singapore Hotel Association's executive director, Margaret Heng, said: "SHA welcomes the phased reopening of the Causeway between Singapore and Malaysia because many of our hotel workforce have been separated from their families for almost two years. This gradual resumption of travel between both countries is a cause for celebration for them and their loved ones."
