JOHOR BAHRU – Malaysia’s Home Ministry is seriously looking into the possibility of reopening a “shortcut” to Johor’s checkpoint to give pedestrians a shorter route for passport clearances before entering Singapore.
“Among matters that were discussed in the committee were initiatives to ease the congestion, which includes components such as lanes for lorries, buses, private vehicles, motorcycles and pedestrians,” he said in a press conference after attending a Pakatan Harapan rally for the Pulai by-election in Taman Dahlia, Johor Bahru, on Tuesday night.
Those interviewed said the shorter route, near the former Lion Hotel in Jalan Lingkaran Dalam will save them time as they are now forced to walk 1.5km around the BSI CIQ.
