Mr Fazli added that Johor wanted a good system to be implemented to ease people’s movement, especially with the proposed Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone. It is learnt that more than 350,000 locals have been using the three apps at both land checkpoints since June during the POC period. To date, MyTrip has had the most registrations, numbering almost 200,000, followed by MyBorderPass and MyRentas, at about 80,000 each.A Home Ministry official said that in the future phases, the QR code could also be expanded to involve foreigners similar to how the autogates are used.
He said because only three lanes use this system under the POC, there is significant congestion during peak hours, with motorcyclists queuing up to use the system. “I can spend more time at home and do not have to leave my house too early in the morning as the immigration clearance is much faster and more efficient now,” he said.
