A Singaporean man is pleading with Putrajaya to allow him into the country so he can be with his ailing Malaysian wife.

CA Mahendran, 58, told Malaysiakini that he has been painfully separated from his spouse for the past three months after both countries sealed their borders amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
