Snaking lines of traffic were spotted on the Causeway on Sunday night (Apr. 3), the first Sunday that land borders between Singapore and Malaysia fully opened to vaccinated travellers since Apr. 1.

It is believed that the majority of the travellers were Malaysians who had spent the weekend at home after crossing the border on Friday (Apr. 1), and who are now returning to work in Singapore.
