JOHOR BARU - Johor wants Putrajaya to speed up the full reopening of Malaysia's border with Singapore, says Mentri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad.
"Both governments are currently finding positive ways so that we can quickly open up the border between Malaysia and Singapore," said Hasni during a speech at the Johor Islamic Religious Council zakat handing over ceremony at Holiday Villa Hotel here on Monday . "It has also affected more than 250,000 Malaysians who used to travel daily between the border as the state's economy depends on the economy of our neighbouring country.
On July 26, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and his Singapore counterpart Dr Vivian Balakrishnan met at the halfway mark of Causeway in a symbolic gesture to mark the agreement by both countries to reopen their borders on Aug 17 under the Reciprocal Green Lane and Periodic Commuting Arrangement.
