SINGAPORE: Congestion at the Causeway connecting Johor Bahru and Singapore has eased following the collective effort by Malaysian ministries, the customs department and their Singapore counterparts, says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
“Singapore requires Woodlands, which is presently under Malaysian authority. We can facilitate the sale, so Singapore can ease the flow of Malaysian workers to Singapore, and similarly Singaporeans coming into Johor, particularly during weekends,” he said during a joint press conference with his Singapore counterpart Lee Hsien Loong.
“We have also started to redevelop Woodlands to increase its capacity and meet the expected long-term growth in cross-border commuters.According to a joint statement, transport agencies from both countries also made progress in increasing the frequency of cross-border bus services and introducing new ferry services.
This means a daily average of about 400,000 travellers, compared to pre-pandemic levels of about 300,000 travellers in 2019.
