When I was single, making a trip back to Malaysia was easy. I took my passport and drove away. We’re parents plus there’s COVID-19 now, even after we pre-prepared all necessary documents, maybe because of an oversight, we have to make a u-turn at the checkpoint.
以前回马来西亚没有带着小孩,很轻松容易,带上护照驾车就走了。现在为人父母加上COVID-19,做了功课准备了一堆东西,可能因为一个小小的疏忽得在关卡U转。

12/12 Our family took a VTL bus to Singapore checkpoint. The customs officer said that my daughter’s PR re-entry permit is expired. Once she leaves Singapore, her PR status will be cancelled immediately. We can only u-turn 😏
12/12 我们一家以VTL Bus到新加坡关卡,海关人员说女儿的永久居留re-entry permit过期,一旦出了新加坡,她的永久居留证就马上取消。我们一家只能U转了😏

When we got home, we immediately (1) renewed our daughter’s PR re-entry permit, (2) applied Home Surveillance Order (HSO) in Malaysia, and (3) booked 3 slots at Intemedical Clinic^ to do PCR on 15/12
回到家的我们马上(1)更新女儿的永久居留re-entry permit,(2)申请马来西亚的居家隔离,(3)预定Intemedical Clinic^做15/12的PCR

15/12 The PR re-entry permit has been renewed, and the Home Surveillance Order (HSO) in Malaysia has also been approved. We went to Intermedical Clinic for PCR test
15/12 永久居民更新好了,马来西亚的居家隔离也批了,带着小孩我们去Intermedical做PCR

16/12 The PCR report is ready, everyone is safe. We drove to Singapore checkpoint and went thought smoothly. When I arrived at Malaysian checkpoint, I filled in a lot of repeated personal information (name, date of birth, passport, address, etc.) in the first counter. The second counter is to check the vaccination certificate, PCR report and Home Surveillance Order (HSO) approval letter. Checked the file again at the third counter. In the fourth counter, we paid RM150 per person to do PCR Saliva. Each person has to spit 5ml of saliva.
16/12 PCR检验报告出炉了,大家平安。我们开车到新加坡关卡,顺利。到了马来西亚关卡,第一个位置填了很多一直重复的个人资料(名字、出生日期、护照、地址等等)。第二个位置检查育苗证书、PCR报告和居家隔离批准信)。第三个位置再检查文件一次。第四个位置缴一个人RM150做PCR Saliva,要吐5ml口水。

20/12 Go a nearby clinic to do PCR (RM150-230). With a wrist band, so better call to make appointment before going.
20/12 到附近的诊所做 PCR检验 (RM150-230)。因为有腕带,别人会当你是怪物,最好去之前先打电话预约。

23/12 Bring along PCR report to the nearest Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah, to cut the wrist band
23/12带PCR报告去Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah剪手环

^Why Intemedical Clinic?
SATA PCR Adult is $107, but they do not do PCR for children
Intemedical’s PCR Adult is $125 child is $135
If two adults do PCR at SATA + children do PCR at Intemedical, total will be $349.
If all were done in Intemedical, total will be $385
Parents do PCR/ART in front of the children, will be easier because they are not alone. As a parent, do you think paying extra $36 worth the effort? Don’t forget that you saved time and transportation fare because don’t need to run two clinics.

^为什么选Intemedical Clinic
SATA的PCR 大人$107 不做3岁小孩。
Intemedical的PCR 大人$125 小孩$135。
如果两个大人在SATA做+小孩在Intemedical做,一共$349。
如果全部在Intemedical做,一共$385。
父母在小朋友面前做PCR/ART,轮到小朋友时特别容易因为少了哭闹。身为父母,你觉得$36值得吗?别忘了你也少了跑两间诊所的时间和车费。

*PCR test accepts Cash/Credit card. Why cash?
*Jenggu double charged me due to their system error
*If kid doesn’t know how to split 5ml of saliva, cash is refundable and change to PCR Swab

PCR检验接受现金/信用卡。我建议用现金付款的原因如下
系统出状况无故要我付双倍
不会吐口水的小朋友 用现金可以要求换PCR Swab 用信用卡的不能换

SG-MY-SG during COVID-19 疫情之下往返新加坡-马来西亚 RM450 per person per trip

Dear parents staying in Singapore, you can plan a trip back to Malaysia in following ways now.

呆在新加坡的父母,可以通过以下方式回马来西亚探亲。

Background: 2 adults 1 kid ; All is PR

背景 :2大人1小孩 ; 全家PR

  1. Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) land by bus
  2. Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) air by flight
  3. Home Surveillance Order (HSO) + Stay Home Notice (SHN)
  4. Hybrid of HSO and VTL
  1. 乘搭疫苗接种者旅游走廊(陆路)巴士
  2. 乘搭疫苗接种者旅游走廊(航空)飞机
  3. 居家隔离
  4. 混合居家隔离 + 疫苗接种者旅游陆路走廊

VTL Bus averagely $150 per person for a round trip; $440 for a family of 3

乘搭疫苗接种者旅游走廊的巴士来回每人平均 150新币;一家三口440新币

VTL Bus is the most economical way making a trip back to Malaysia. However, taking a public transport with a toddler is challenging. Plus, it will be inconvenience for not having a car in Malaysia. So, Hybrid will be my option. How about you?

乘搭疫苗接种者旅游走廊的巴士回马来西亚是目前最经济的方式。然而,带着小孩乘搭公共交通是压力的。而且,在马来西亚没有车代步会很不方便。所以,1混合居家隔离 + 疫苗接种者旅游陆路走廊是我的最佳选择。你呢?
