Singapore and China have agreed to a 30-day mutual visa-free entry for their citizens, close to two months after the proposal was first announced. The arrangement formally enters into force on Friday (Feb 9), the eve of Chinese New Year.

Dr. Oh Ei Sun, Senior Fellow, Singapore Institute of International Affairs weighs in.
