- 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.
Johari has not seen his children and grandchildren in almost two years. His family has prepared a feast to welcome him back to Johor Bahru, but an unfortunate administrative error could jeopardise his travel arrangements.

Touching and beautifully done. Thank you to all the Malaysians who work in Singapore.
Who's cutting onions... 😭
CNA always has the most heartwarming and touching documentaries. As a Malaysian in Malaysia, I look forward to all the documentaries.
My heart sank when Johari couldn't board the bus the first time...
What a tearing video🥺🥺 glad that they are united with their family. It’s not easy, 2 years.
Blame pfizer
It's great to go home and be with loved ones. I missed Malaysia too as I usually will go there for vacations. So near and yet so far!
Wherever you are, family is so important! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰🥰🥰 Home is where the heart is !
That's awesome they're reunited. I couldn't imagine how frustrating it would be knowing they're just like an hour flight away from their family. My cousin is going through this entire thing as well :/
It is so heartwarming to see the malaysians reunited with their families. ❤
actually in life is very difficult, you want to see how your children grown up but at the same time we all need money.
It just make me in tears..i feel them.. their hardship away from home is hard ..
another good documentary...
very touching. Hope the two governments treat an endemic as an endemic and remove all restrictions like the EU countries!
a reunion long overdue. bless their hearts and hard work. not easy emotionally and mentally dealing with a long lockdown. hope that CNA can cover about reunion between Malaysian and Thailand families (when land border reopens, hopefully in March) both have been separated since the lockdown in 2020. they have very close ties to people in Southern Thailand, usually crossing the land borders to visit each other.
As always look forward to CNA documentary. WELL DONE !
This video bring tears to my eyes. It has been two years for me too, not seeing my family. The plan is to fly back end of March 2022! Finger crossed everything goes well.
You are not alone, same as a lot of people. Cannot send their parents last journey, the saddest part for this period.
I'm curious about the filming process...did you guys already send your videographers ahead to film their families in Malaysia? Or do you have a team already in Malaysia?
Hopefully, Hong Kong, Macau and Mainland China can achieve quarantine-free travel. It has been 2 years since the pandemic.
Very heartwarming. But to be honest, if you really want to see your family in another country, not even a pandemic can stop you.
Malaysian sister and brother are assistant manager working in Singpost
I feel how it was to live a part from your family during lockdown cuz right I live in Cambodia while my parents is in Thailand and I’m still 16, I really want to meet them fast but they were too busy with their business , while I also busy with my study but we still in contact with each other twice a week.
This programme will have a deep reunion meaning when we look back after the borders are fully opened.
You know what is more hurting? You leave almost near with your house but u can't go home. Gladly the restrictions are take off and people get to meet their love ones after almost 2 years don't get the chances 😢
Hi, I am Ainin from Mrsm TDI. Stay safe everyone..
Where this box come from , so far I do not order any box from over sea thank you
We can enter Malaysia like normal again from 1march?
Need alot of tissue for this episode.
i thought johari was planning to say it is a prank like what youngster like to do. nevertheless felt happy for.johari in the end
beautiful story with human touch .. my eyes drop .. also with this shitty malaysia goverment dont understand what is intergrity
Money $$$ 3:1 more important than family to some people. No need drama all
where got to some people's as more to MAJORITY because the salary can get 1000 dollars after that change to ringgit can get to 3112.97
@@boyan619 bro their stuff is more expensive in Singapore so translate to their salary also, that's just how countries work
Wtf, a Malaysian is a assistant manager in Singpost. Can Singapore have a assistant manager ? does Singapore lack of such skill ?
So now Singapore government is governing Malaysia? Our dear Singaporeans is living very well that we bother about other nation reunion? So CNA going to do for reunion for every country folks that work in Singapore from the entire southeast asian nations to china, india, korea, japan, taiwan, pakistan, usa, etc. wa.. like that 100+ countries for each documentary? If not why Malaysia only? We govern them? Our Singaporeans well taken care of jia baba we can reach out to others? Are you going to invade Johor and give them a better life than the current boleh bolah Malaysia government? So we only accept economic refugees from Malaysia not Vietnam 30 years ago? While we have our own Singaporean born economic to be refugee by your policy that slash local born badly?
I don't quite understand your rant..........
Im a Singaporean. What the hell are you going on about? lol
After that please don't come back to Singapore just because the salary you can get 1000 dollars after that change to ringgit can get to 3112.97
Maybe you won't see Malaysians anymore in Singapore after the minimum wage is raised to RM 1500,then RM 2000
Long live China
your braincells certainly did not lived that long. Perhaps try looking at the map
it's so touching to see Malaysians that are working in Singapore being able to see their families again during this pandemic.
Yes big pharma mafia were satisfied for now
When Johari's daughter teared up because she thought her dad wont be able to enter Msia, I felt like crying too. The relief was real when he replied that he would be able to take a bus at a later timing.
worth the long wait.......
Cried like a baby watching this, I’m hoping to get my reunion with my family in Indonesia and finally get my parents to meet my littlest one..
Malaysia singapore is sister & brother
beautiful
Wasting fark time. Just lock it down!
