Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail today announced that the Special Committee Tackling the Johor Causeway Congestion has agreed to procure the use of a quick response (QR) code system for the border crossing with Singapore. He added that the procurement will be finalised by the end of this year.
Bernama quoted Saifuddin as saying that the decision was made following the proof of concept (POC) after a QR Code System was implemented at the Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex and the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB) during the first phase. The phase focused on Malaysian bus passengers and motorcyclists starting from 1 June.
The Home Minister added that the Special Committee meeting also agreed to extend the use of the QR code system to other vehicle users in phases starting next year. He also lauded the use of the QR code system, saying that it is estimated that over two million users per year will benefit during its implementation period, significantly reducing waiting times, especially during peak hours.
