JOHOR BAHRU: An additional 250 immigration officers will be deployed to the land checkpoints in Johor by September, said its chief minister Onn Hafiz Ghazi on Thursday .
“The state government did not choose to just wait but instead took immediate and short-term measures to overcome the issue that is affecting many parties, while waiting for the RTS in order to overcome the congestion issue at land checkpoints,” Mr Onn Hafiz told the state assembly. During the 2022 year-end holiday season, more than 360,000 travellers passed through the Woodlands and Tuas Checkpoints daily.
“At BSI, immigration officers required is around 1,200 staff but they only operate with 700 staff. There is a shortage of 500 staff,” he said. Meanwhile, Mr Onn Hafiz also noted that smoother traffic flow between Johor and Singapore is attracting Chinese investors to the state.
