Some 20 families separated by the JB-Singapore Causeway got a chance to be slightly closer to their loved ones today (Oct. 24).

Give them a wave

R&F, a property developer in Johor Bahru, organised an initiative where some family members got to board a yacht that took them nearer to Singapore's shores so they could wave to their loved ones.

A total of 20 families, and over 50 people were involved in this initiative, according to R&F's Facebook post.

The families had also supposedly been separated for around 200 days, due to the border closures.

Here are some photos shared by R&F Princess Cove from the event earlier today:

Some people were seen holding up signs that said "love you" and "miss you".
