Singapore still have a long way to go, let alone Indonesia.

Indonesia covid cases is far more serious than it has reported. There are many cases in indonesia was not reported according to news update.
Indonesia has a population of about 270 million compare to singapore of 5.6 million.
However the number of test carried out in indonesia is only 203k (pathetic low) compare to spore 246k (till date). According to statistic, the no. of cases and fatalities in indonesia was also on the rise.
Therefore the possibility that spore allowing border crossing to indonesia is very slim.
Before spore opens its border with another country, spore will evaluate the measures taken, no. of test carried out, covid 19 situation of that country before deciding on lifting the travel restriction with that country.
Also it takes both hands to clap means that even if spore allow travel to a particular country, that does not mean that country will allow spore residents to enter.
In the past, it was known that Indonesia garmen does not encourage indonesian to go overseas. (dont want money to flow out of the country)
Indonesia is the only country in this world that has imposed an exit tax for their citizen to leave the country. The exit tax aka fiscal (in bahasa indo) is 1 million rupiah. But then the tax was later been phased out.
We reckon that the earliest indonesia open its border will be when the world pandemic cases reduced substantially most likely will be end of this year to early next year..
