Johor causeway reopening, a relief for Malaysians


JOHOR BAHRU: The various accounts by Malaysians arriving from Singapore on Friday (April 1) added colour and joy, as well as brought back life at the Johor causeway with the re-opening of the country’s border, which was closed for more than two years since March 18, 2020.

It was a picture of solidarity, as they walked across the the Johor Causeway, with the sound of the Malaysian national anthem, "Negaraku”, echoing in the air, some, into the waiting arms of their loved ones as the clock struck midnight.
