SINGAPORE - Ms Sunita Varan started packing her bags the moment she heard that her country would be on lockdown from Wednesday (March 18).
On Monday night, Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announced that workers, like Ms Sunita, who commute between Johor Baru and Singapore daily, will not be able to do so until the end of the month (March 31). The lockdown is to slow down the spread of the coronavirus in the country.
