JOHOR BARU – The usual traffic congestion at the Causeway here has worsened due to the health screening at the entry points of both Johor and Singapore.

Frequent travellers passing through the Causeway have expressed their frustration over the congestion, which has gotten from bad to worse during peak hours, especially on Fridays and weekends.

Singaporean policeman Abdul Haniff Abdul Hamid, 38, who was passing through the Causeway to enter Johor at about 1pm, said that he noticed traffic started to build up at about noon on Friday.

“The Causeway would normally still be empty at that time and will only start to get congested at around 3pm on Friday,” he said.

Another traveller, Malaysian S.Sathia, 36, who works as a security officer in Singapore, said that temperature screening on those entering Malaysia started a few days back.

“After the temperature checks started, the traffic seems to be slower than usual.

“Previously you would only see three or four cars queuing up to enter Johor at 6am, but now I can see a lot more than that number,” he said.
