CIQ staff get a tongue lashing from Johor's Chief Minister after spot check

TL;DR - Chief Minister of Johor scolds the staff in CIQ for slow work and half of the counters being closed. 

Regardless if you go to JB for holiday, everyone knows about the horrific jams on the Causeway. And those are on normal days, let alone holiday periods where jams can last up to 7 hours.

However, those days might be over after this. Watch the video to see why!

What happened?

On 20th April yesterday, Chief Minister of Johor Onn Hafiz Ghazi came to Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complex to conduct a spot check before the Hari Raya holidays. And he was not pleased.

We can see in the video that he asks what counters were open for cars to pass through, seeing that at least 4 were red in the video. (How many red ones?)

After his check, he tells the staff at CIQ to sort out their human resources, and that he will wait until the situation at the causeway is settled.

Chief Minister Ghazi went on to tell the media that efficiency at the BSI complex was not up to his expectations and it was currently not operating at its maximum level, saying that it was operating at 80% efficiency.

He was quoted saying “I have requested all counters, whether for cars, motorcycles, bus passengers or pedestrians, to be open and in working order. All the technical and staffing issues must be resolved fast.”

With Hari Raya looming, the checkpoints are sure to be full with people going to JB for a short holiday. If the minister can get all the checkpoints open, maybe we won’t have to wait as long this time round. 

Online chatter

People praised the Chief Minister for coming down and trying to improve the situation at the checkpoint.

Others expressed doubt that there would be any change at all.

  • Drunk driver refuses to go hospital after crashing into a tree

    Whatever he drank, it has to be something the servers go “you sure?” upon ordering one. Watch to see why! What happened? A camcar recorded managed to capture footage of a white car while travelling on Adam Road in the wee hours of the morning. 4.15 A.M is not an ideal time to be awake but I respect the hustle. Whoever was in the white car was most certainly not hustling though. As seen in the footage, the car rammed into a tree, cutting down a tree using sheer horsepower (I

    Motorcyclists take a "walk of shame" while being escorted by traffic police

    All the interesting things happen over the weekend. Like this, for example. What happened? On 21 May, 2023, Hougang residents were greeted with an unusual sight. Motorcyclists. No, I’m not saying motorcyclists are unusual, but how many of them there were certainly was. Not to mention how they are all pushing their bikes alongside them instead of using them.  Traffic police were there as well, seemingly keeping a watchful eye over the motorcyclists.

    Honda Vezel driver decides to test SUV status by driving over kerb in a parking lot

    One of the key features of an SUV is the ability to go off road. To use the same car you would pick up your groceries and kids one day and go on mud and sand the next.  However, this is Singapore. The only sand and mud we have are off limits to cars (as far as I can find). That didn’t stop a determined Honda Vezel driver from testing his capabilities though. Watch this video to see what I mean.  What happened?  A Honda Vezel was seen at Simei Carpark driving over a kerb and c

    Powered bicycle exceeds 60km/h while playing with ‘lightsabers’

    Another day, another PAB/PMD story. Why is it always the younger people using these?   What happened?  At 1.32 A.M, a PMD and PAB (Power Assisted Bicycle) were spotted going over 60km/h on Jalan Eunos.    The PMD is initially in the lead but that changes at 0:34 in the video, when the PAB surges past the PMD like a turbo kicked in.   Impressively, it looks like this was all while the PAB rider was using one hand to keep the bike steady as he held a f
