Counting down to 1 Apr where the land borders with Malaysia will finally reopen after two years. Time flies! I finally get to go home to visit my family and friends and yes! Weekend trip is happening again after so long. Time to update my Johor posts again.
Apart from public transport, like trains, bus and car pool services, many also drive into Malaysia. So, what are the checklists required if you are planning to drive in?
NOTE: You do not need to take pre-departure test if you are driving across the Causeway. As long as you are fully vaccinated, you can drive across the causeway (kids under the age of 12 do not need to be fully-vaccinated). 

Singapore to Malaysia

2.  Download MySejahtera App – Malaysia version of TraceTogether. Do download the app and get it verified (as shown on the picture).
Once verified, upload your vaccination status via the helpdesk in the app. If you unable to get it certified, you can generate your physical certificate via notarise.
3.  Purchase EZ-Link x Touch ‘n Go card – If you have the existing card, please check the back of the card to see
