It’s been few months when the border of Singapore and Malaysia in Johor Bahru has been closed. I am sure some of you may have been wondering about the conditions of your family members, relatives, and friends on the other side of the causeway.

With both countries having the strict implementation of movement among individuals amid this Covid19 pandemic, crossing the causeway is still not back to normal.

It is almost coming to one year that the border is restricted and I’m sure some of you might be needing an update about it. Technically, the border is still close and those who are only allowed to travel are those that really need to enter the country with valid reason.

I have documented some estimated costs if you wish to go back to Singapore or Malaysia via land transport/ the causeway. This will only take place if you are able to get permission to cross the causeway from both countries.

Let me share with you what I found out on the estimated cost part:

A. Estimated Expenses to enter Malaysia (via land transport)

B. Estimated Expenses to Enter Singapore (via land transport)

Please be advised that estimated figures may be accurate to about 80-90 percent. Cost may vary according to accommodation type, meal, and currency exchange rate.

On top of that, you should also be prepared to pay your bus fare (both in Malaysia Ringgit (+/- RM 5) and Singapore Dollar (+/- SGD 5)  to cross the causeway. You can take those authorized shuttle services to get to Singapore or Malaysia.

I hope that this research is sufficient to guide you on your journey (should you need to cross the Causeway). The most important thing is that we are all safe. I personally advise you to continue to follow our government SOPs in stopping the spread of Covid19 pandemic in our community.
