Mumble Shout : June 2021

Many of us miss our hometown so badly but the hater Covid-19 is still fiercely attacking the world badly. Pray hardly for this to end soooon

June 10, 2021, after 1.5 year, I am back to Penang again due to unforeseen circumstance.

Requirement for travelling for a PR.

- Swab test ( within 3 days of travelling time ). Swab test result will be available on the next day, so you can book flight on day after tomorrow.

- Download MySejahtera App (something like trace together app in Singapore)

- Valid passport

- Valid Flight Ticket

- Health declaration ( form to get from airport )

** due to frequent changing of the regulation, safest way is to call airline customer service to clarify the requirement. Scoot is the only flight available, I called them to double confirm the requirement at +65-31384047.
