ISKANDAR PUTERI - There are more than 40,000 Malaysians still in Singapore and the Malaysian state of Johor hopes that Singapore will make exemptions for them to be tested for Covid-19 before they are allowed to return to the state.

Johor Mentri Besar Hasni Mohammad said the state was working with the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss the matter with their counterpart in Singapore given that the city-state presently does not conduct Covid-19 tests unless a person has shown symptoms. "We hope Singapore will allow for some exemptions so that Malaysians who want to return can get this test done at its clinics or hospitals,"he said.
