JOHOR BARU: Mohamad Ariffin Mohd Lawi ( pic) never thought that his visit back to his village in Terengganu last year would be the last time he would see his family in over a year. The 27-year-old supplier project officer who has been working in Singapore for over two years said that he last saw his family in May last year. “I had started my job in Singapore in March 2019 and was able to return for a five-day visit two months later. “I thought that I would be able to go back for a longer period this year but the plan had to be postponed because the border was closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, ” he said.
