JOHOR BAHRU: Malaysians traveling to Singapore on factory buses will be able to use QR codes at both of Johor’s land gates to clear immigration as part of a test program that begins in June.
The program, led by Malaysia’s Ministry of Home Affairs, is a successful reaction to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) of Singapore’s decision to introduce a QR code program for car travelers on its side of the land border on March 19.
Commuters have received the implementation of Singapore’s scheme well, prompting more calls from businesses and tourists visiting Johore for the Malaysian government to start a comparable program.
The chairman of Johor’s Works, Transportation, and Infrastructure committee, Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh, confirmed to CNA on Tuesday night (Apr 23) that the trial program will cover Malaysian nationals traveling to Singapore on “bas kilangs,” or factory buses. He emphasized that, as of now, this experimental program does not apply to travelers holding passports from Singapore.
According to Mr. Fazli, at the immigration complexes connected to the Johor-Singapore Causeway and Tuas Second Link, respectively, these travelers would be able to employ QR code clearance at Bangunan Sultan Iskandar and Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar.
