JOHOR BARU – The Johor Immigration Department expects to see a more traffic at the Causeway and Second Link in conjunction with Chinese New Year.
State director Baharuddin Tahir said the department took several steps to handle the rise in traffic by freezing the leave of its personnel.
“There will usually be a rise in traffic between Malaysia and Singapore throughout the festive season.
Baharuddin said the department was also working with other agencies to ensure smoother travel for travellers at both checkpoints, especially between Jan 23 and 26.
He also said the department will open all 77 car and bus lanes at the Causeway, and 48 lanes at the Second Link on festive period.
“Travellers must also check if their passport is still valid to avoid hassle at the checkpoints.
“Ensure your vehicles are in good condition as any breakdown will create a massive jam,” he added.
Bernama said Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) also expected heavy traffic during Chinese New Year.
