Join us on Tuesday, December 7, 2021, at 3PM (+8 GMT) for our Advocacy Talks webinar with Deloitte on the topic of Budget 2022 and Immigration Issues.

It will be an in-depth look at the Malaysian Budget 2022 as the budget introduced some bold play to provide individuals and businesses with the necessary stimuli to bounce back and thrive post-pandemic while boosting tax collection for a more resilient and stronger nation.

The implementation of the land and air Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTL) will act as a catalyst to spur the post COVID-19 economic recovery in both countries, Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad said.

He said that it was especially true for Johor, as the state was Singapore’s nearest neighbour and the presence of Singaporeans travellers would stimulate the economy, as the island state had long been Johor’s biggest investor.

The VTL represented a ray of happiness to Malaysians and Singaporeans, allowing the resumption of ties that were ‘severed’ during the COVID-19 pandemic, he added, saying that it would bring much needed relief to citizens in both countries following the closing of borders almost 20 months ago.
