He said the special committee tackling Johor Causeway Congestion had studied and agreed on the implementation of these new initiatives, which would involve a total cost of RM64.2 million. “Based on the projection of a surge in travellers up by 17.2% every year, a review should be made to strike a balance between the workload of officers and this uptrend,” he told reporters after chairing a meeting of the committee at Parliament today.
“If agreed upon, a technical committee will then be formed to discuss the feasibility of its implementation with Singapore, because it involves legal amendments and requires the agreement and cooperation of Singapore,” he said.
