Hampir 400,000 orang dijangka guna laluan darat Malaysia - Singapura pada minggu pertama

ISKANDAR PUTERI: Hampir 400,000 orang dijangka menggunakan laluan darat antara Malaysia dan Singapura melalui Tambak Johor dan Linkedua, pada minggu pertama pembukaan semula sempadan negara bermula Jumaat ini.

Menteri Besar Johor, Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi berkata, kesemua kaunter di Kompleks Imigresen, Kastam dan Kuarantin (CIQ) iaitu di Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar (KSAB), di sini, dan Bangunan Sultan Iskandar di Johor Bahru akan beroperasi sepenuhnya, bagi mengelakkan berlakunya kesesakan.

"Ketika prapandemik, hampir 400,000 pengguna masuk dan keluar setiap hari, jadi 400,000 orang ini kita jangkakan untuk tujuh hari sekurang-kurangnya dari 1 hingga 7 April. Semua kaunter akan dibuka dan beroperasi 100 peratus di kedua-dua CIQ, mereka juga telah membuat segala persediaan tersebut.

"Jabatan Penerangan Johor juga akan menyediakan infografik yang akan dipaparkan di sosial media, supaya pengembara tahu apa prosedur operasi standard (SOP) dan keperluan, paling penting mereka perlu muat turun aplikasi MySejahtera sebelum masuk ke Malaysia," katanya pada sidang media selepas meninjau 'dry run' pembukaan semula sempadan di Kompleks CIQ KSAB di Tanjung Kupang, di sini hari ini.

Turut hadir Menteri Pengangkutan, Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Meanwhile, questions are being raised about whether schools, parents, and even social media platforms are doing enough to protect our young digital citizens. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Benjamin Loh, senior lecturer at Taylor’s University School of Media and Communication and director of the Impact Lab for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
