JOHOR BAHRU - Easing the snarling traffic congestion at both land borders with Singapore will help spur the country’s tourism sector, says the Malaysian Tourist Guides Council.
“During weekends, more than 100 buses would be coming into Johor, and it is sad for people to be stuck at the checkpoint for almost three hours,” he said, commending Johor Mentri Besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi for conducting frequent spot checks on the two checkpoints. Mr Leong, who is also the Johor Tourist Guides Association chairman, said the Immigration Department should have expected a large number of people due to the long weekend holiday and Singapore having its school holidays currently.
“To ensure this does not happen again, I have asked the management of BSI and KSAB to consider opening the contra lanes, specifically for travellers using the walkway and public transport and especially during school holidays or long holidays.
