QR code use at Johor Causeway to extend beyond buses, motorcyclists in 2025
KUALA LUMPUR: From next year, the use of Quick Response (QR) codes at the Johor Causeway will extend beyond buses and motorcyclists and will include other modes of transportation.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the expansion would cover other modes of transportation, on top of the current facility for Malaysians traveling to Singapore by bus at the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI) and motorcyclists using the automated MBike Immigration clearance system at the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB).
However, he did not specify the specific timeline for the expansion to be implemented.
Saifuddin, speaking to reporters after attending the Special Committee Meeting to Address Congestion at the Johor Causeway, Session Two for 2024, said the meeting decided that the procurement process would be finalised within the current financial year, this year.
“Secondly, the meeting agreed to expand the use of QR codes to all other modes of transportation,” he said.
The meeting was also attended by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, Communication Minister Fahmi Fadzil, Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Hasbi Habibollah, Deputy Work Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan and Deputy Economy Minister Datuk Hanifah Hajar Taib.
Saifuddin said the expansion would be important, particularly considering Malaysia’s status as the 2025 Asean chair and Visit Malaysia year in 2026.
