Key pointers from the news :

Travellers will have to take the first PCR test 72 hours before departure, and the second test upon arrival at the airport or ferry terminal. Travellers will bear the costs of the tests, said Mdm Marsudi.
Eligible travellers must also download and register themselves on the TraceTogether and SafeEntry mobile applications while in Singapore, or on the e-HAC and Peduli Lindungi applications while in Indonesia, she added.
Mdm Marsudi said applicants from Indonesia must have a sponsor from a government agency or enterprises in Singapore and request for a SafeTravel pass.
Singaporeans wanting to enter Indonesia must have a sponsor from the government or business entity and apply for a visa online.

More clinics in Singapore were able to do the covid-19 swab test. Recently my colleague's niece had a fever, went to see her doctor downstairs & got ask to do a quick swab test. Result came within 24 hours through her sms showing negative.
Asked her about the procedure, she says she was given 5 days MC & she had to be staying at home aka under SHN (Stayed Home Notice) until after her test result is out showing negative before she is lawfully able to step out.
Cost of test plus all the medication = S$10 (and she's a non-Singaporean)
I have been looking at loop holes through all those procedure since Singapore government has NOT been disallowing Singaporean. Its just that the so called "punishment" for non-essential travel is rather heavy.
On 26th October 2020, i will be looking at how those green lane thingy works before digging in further.
The whole implementation of those procedures were to prevent anyone or any Singaporean from catching covid-19 before & after travelling (to Batam in my case) anywhere out of Singapore.
1. How to get the certification from doctors that i have been corona-virus free is crucial.
2. Cost of test is also important (Singapore side). This one already solved.
3. How Batam side's reaction to Singaporean who has been tested corona-virus free going over is another important thing too. Example, do i need to take another test in Batam? And how much it would cost in rupiah.
4. Next would be going back to Singapore. How's the procedure going to be like, example would be be SHN or quarantine? or together with yet another test or both?
5. How not to step onto the line of "punishment" set by the Singapore Government?
Essential or no essential didnt quite matter much at this time.
Most important, is to get that doctor certification & i can travel to Batam (ever since day 1 in mid March, Singapore has not restrict anything/anyone from travelling except for the "punishment" cost). And then get the coming back to Singapore procedure right.
Followed by to decide IF i can withstand those damages "created" by Singapore government if my travel falls under the category of non-essential.
11 more days to wait for government to finalize.
Just my analysis sharing.
* sometimes, when situation are blurry. But when it has been categorized (and analysis), the "picture" may becomes clearer.
** constructive discussion can make a clear picture even clearer, especially if i might have missed out some key things somewhere.
