JOHOR BAHRU - The number of daily travellers using Johor’s two land checkpoints with Singapore have exceeded the pre-Covid-19 levels, said the Malaysian Immigration Department.
The daily average at both the BSI and KSAB customs, immigration and quarantine complexes currently range from 430,000 to 450,000.
“This is a significant increase from the previous 400,000 average daily travellers recorded before Covid-19 a few years ago,” he told a press conference at the state Immigration headquarters on March 27. Mr Baharuddin, who was part of the audience, said the Regent was concerned about the situation at BSI and KSAB as the two land checkpoints are dubbed the busiest in the world.
