After a long two years apart, three families are finally reuniting in Malaysia, via the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL). But as COVID numbers rise in Singapore, can their journey home be smooth sailing?
SingPost Assistant Branch Manager Jo Ann last saw her newborn daughter more than a year ago, as COVID travel restrictions kept her apart from her family. Meanwhile, her brother Eric, also a SingPost employee, is worried about their mother, who has been all alone since the passing of their father. The VTL is Jo Ann and Eric’s chance to finally reunite with their loved ones.
With her family in Malaysia unable to attend her wedding in Singapore, Cecelia is planning to make it up to them by holding a ceremony in Ipoh, Malaysia. But as the Omicron variant rages around the world, her plans might just be dashed.
