Johor steps up vaccinations to speed up border reopening

JOHOR BARU: The state government is confident that its border with Singapore can be reopened by this year, says an executive councillor.

“We are optimistic that the Causeway and Second Link can be reopened sooner than later, but this is subject to the Singapore government’s approval as well,” said Datuk Mohd Izhar Ahmad.

Mohd Izhar, who is state Investment, Cooperatives, Entrepreneurship Development and Human Resources Committee chairman, said many lives and businesses were badly impacted by the border closure.
