On 24 October, families separated by international borders were able to briefly see each other close to Singapore's shores
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the border between Malaysia and Singapore is not fully reopened, save for exceptional cases.
As a result, many Malaysians and their family members working or staying in Singapore have been apart for months.
An initiative called 'We Reunite Love' was organised by property developer R&F Princess Cove, where 20 families got to see their loved ones by boarding a yacht.
Families shouted words of affection and some were holding up signs saying 'Love You My Dear' and 'We Miss You'
According to their Facebook post, the families have been separated for more than 200 days.
The yacht sailed from R&F Princess Cove in Johor to the middle of the sea, as close as possible to Singapore's waters.
