SINGAPORE - Malaysia has done its maximum to ease traffic congestion at the Johor Causeway, and it is now up to Singapore to reciprocate and address the issue, Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on the sidelines of a summit in Singapore on Wednesday.
He listed some incentives including allowing for multiple entry visas, fast-track entry for those working in Singapore and a flat income tax rate of 15 per cent for knowledge workers. He also said Malaysia will take a tougher stance to recover more funds from Goldman Sachs if the US investment bank continues to refrain from engaging with his government over the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal.“I will be in the United States next week, and we hope to find an amicable solution to this issue,” he said.
