JOHOR BAHRU - The government has agreed to approve an allocation of approximately RM168.70 million to overcome traffic congestion at the country's entry points.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the allocation was to carry out three physical projects and provide incentives for Immigration officers of various grades on duty at the entry points.

He said the incentives involve those who are on duty at the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) at the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI) and Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB) as well as KLIA1 and KLIA2.

"The three new projects are the addition of 77 MBIKE (automated border control system) at a cost of RM61.7 million; the upgrade and construction of new projects at KSAB amounting to RM106.99 million; as well as the construction of a covered pedestrian walkway along the Johor Causeway with estimated costs to be detailed later.

"The incentive would involve financial implication of RM7.93 million per year," he said in a statement after chairing the virtual Special Committee Meeting to Address Congestion at the Johor Causeway today. - MORE TO COME
