BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN — Discussions are still ongoing between Brunei and Malaysia to establish a vaccinated travel lane (VTL) that would pave the way for passengers to travel with minimal or no quarantine requirements, the Malaysian envoy to Brunei said on Wednesday.
Speaking at Tourism Malaysia’s high tea networking event with tourism industry players, High Commissioner Dato’ Raja Reza Raja Zaib Shah Wednesday said both countries intend to gradually reopen the borders.
“We can start off with the air travel bubble first and not entirely open our borders with Brunei. Although discussions are ongoing, I cannot reveal the details.
“We hope that progress will be made and of course, we must be cautious of the Omicron spread so we can’t rush,” he said.
He added that Malaysia’s VTL with Brunei can be modelled based on similar travel arrangements with Singapore.
However, the Malaysia-Singapore VTL has been suspended due to a spike in Omicron cases.
