Businesses in Johor Bahru, Malaysia are struggling with the lack of Singaporean visitors since the start of the pandemic.
They have called on the Malaysian government to begin talks with Singapore as soon as possible to reopen the border,
One such entreaty was made by an adviser to the SME Association of South Johor, Teh Kee Sin, who said that many SMEs in the area were now worried about cash flow, given that a loan moratorium by the government had ended.
The government in Putrajaya must begin holding talks with Singapore about allowing the movement of people into Johor, he added.
