When spore evaluate the situation of the
individual country, some criteria are infection rate, types of precautions in place, effectiveness of infection control, distancing measures, no. of test done, etc
I reckon that bolehland stand a high chance to be in the list of country in which the travel restriction with spore to be lifted.
Although Msia do not have a very low transmission rate in the country, however no. of test carried out till date is about 513k which is twice as much as indonesia merely 256k, given that msia population is 32 million compare to indonesia 270 million. Can refer to detail statistic figure:
Spore - Every one million population, no. of test carried out 50,365
Malaysia - Every one million population, no. of test carried out 15,883
Indonesia - Every one million population, no. of test carried out 940
Although in real life situation, the actual no. of cases in both countries could be even much much more due to lack of test facility. But more importantly it is the official figure reported.
Furthermore, Msia has shown that it has done a lot to prevent the spread of the virus like strict enforcement can be seen everywhere in msia, CMO lockdown has been extended several times, the recovery rate was also higher than infection rate, inter-state travel restriction, etc.
But there was one very important fact that Msia might be given priority to qualify for the lifting of travel restriction is that spore and msia are all the time connected by geography, economics and ties of kinship.. (both countries have families and relatives across the two countries)
Remember when the pandemic not so serious that time in March 2020, spore came out with a border control measure chart that indicate spore residents (citizen & PR) who visit Malaysia and return by land and sea are not required for the SHN unlike visiting other ASEAN country need to serve SHN at home.
