‘No move to hinder voters’


Checkpoint: Onn Hafiz is hopeful for more funds to be allocated to improve the facilites at the CIQ complex in Johor Baru. — THOMAS YONG/The Star

JOHOR BARU: The government wants to make it easy to travel between Malaysia and Singapore and any claim that Umno was behind a move to disable the autogates at the Johor Baru checkpoint is false, says Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.

The Mentri Besar said the government would never want to prevent the movement of people between the two countries, rubbishing talk that Malaysians in Singapore were being deterred from coming home to vote.
