The Johor state government has suggested that the federal government explore the adoption of a Quick Response (QR) code system, mirroring Singapore’s approach, at the Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex within the state.
Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, the Johor Menteri Besar, conveyed this as one of three proposals aimed at ensuring the success of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), highlighting collaborative efforts between the governments of Malaysia and Singapore, based on Bernama’s news report.
Onn Hafiz pointed out that Singapore has already announced plans to implement the QR code system for entry and exit at the CIQ starting from 1 January 2024.
Expressing optimism, he added, “Johor also hopes that the federal government will consider the same digital method to mitigate movement at the busiest border in the world.”
