So near yet so far: Massive traffic congestion on both sides of the Causeway especially during weekends and long holidays are a recurring sight. — THOMAS YONG/The Star

JOHOR BARU: The move to upgrade the two Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) buildings in Johor has received the thumbs up from groups here, but they hope that more can be done to solve the congestion problem in the long run.

They said that while they welcome the RM741.3mil that has been allocated to upgrade the Sultan Iskandar Building’s CIQ Complex (BSI) and the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB), they feel that the upgrade alone may not be enough to ease the congestion.
