That why Singapore has open up VTL to all cities with India but just a handful locations with Indonesia or Malaysia, the main purpose of quarantine free travel is to make the employers here easier to bring in my foreign workers here, not for Singaporean going overseas to spend. Hotels, casinos and other amenities until now are still mainly rely on Singaporean, not tourists. Government can only tolerate large number of Singaporean going overseas to spend money when there are large number of tourists arrival here which is not yet happen now.
