With the commencement of the Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) and Periodic Commuting Arrangement (PCA) earlier this week, more people have begun travelling between Malaysia and Singapore.

The SG Arrival Card E-service was first introduced in late-March.
ICA has also put together a rather comprehensive list of ‘Frequently Asked Questions’:
Of note is question 4, which touches on the Disembarkation/Embarkation Card (DE Card).
ICA shared that the DE Card has been discontinued since late-March. Hence travellers can proceed for immigration clearance with their passports after electronically submitting the SG Arrival Card.
