A long queue was apparently spotted at Johor Bahru checkpoint today, 23 July, a day before Malaysia's mandatory quarantine rule begins
As a result of many flouting home quarantine, Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob recently announced that the government is reverting to its initial rule, which requires all citizens and non-citizens to undergo quarantine at centres or hotels.
From 24 July onwards, those who return will need to bear their own accommodation costs.
Photos shared by several people show crowds lining up since early this morning
At 10.30am today, one person shared a photo with a caption that read, "[Johor Bahru Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine Complex] moved everyone into the building to form a snake line."
Not everyone is allowed to enter Malaysia and Singapore
According to Mashable Southeast Asia, only those who have essential businesses to attend to or have been ordered to travel for official purposes are allowed to cross the border.
You will also be able to cross for work if you are a Malaysian or Singaporean citizen with a long term immigration visa.
