Factory workers commuting to Singapore from across the Causeway may soon enjoy shorter commutes when the pilot of a new immigration clearance system is launched in June.

The system, which will be managed by Malaysia’s Immigration Department, will involve workers using a unique QR code to cross immigration instead of having their passports processed.
