Let's chit-chat about our motorist discipline - We are NOT lane discipline,  simple logic is/are most car manufacturer are producing bigger car size and capacity henceforth the builder of both border customs do not take much consideration into the check-in car area in terms of inspection area, to verification of passport. A video effect images @the new Woodlands may do justice however it still a long way to go, the placement of CCTV, e-scanner form a 20-30 m ahead of car in attendance is only an artistic display of how much improvement can be made, the visual aspect can be best illustrated once it is ready.

As of now we do not see much improvement on JB side, the tail-back from JB vehicular entry were a nightmare - from a pivot point of 5 lanes into 3 singular lanes with hight humps and bumps are cause for concerns... with various entry points connected to JPJ custom.

It must be sorted out once and for all, I mean the whole of Malaysian states depends on Johore Bahru depends a lot more of functionality and smooth traffic flow else it will only be a side show, nothing more with the RTS video showing glimpses of what has been and not expected images can do wonders . . . 🤭

 

There is little incentive for Malaysia to improve their immigration efficiency. 

2 hrs, 4hrs, 8hrs, we still drive in and queue. Why rack their brains, spend money for something they dont need to fix.

If not for Singapore visitors, perhaps for the large number of Johor people that work in Singapore and have to spend the 2-3 hours every working day to brave the jams?

It seems strange that govt after govt in MY have not tried to solve the problem, guess there are other priorities or there is some politics involved? Any thoughts?

SG may have even less incentives but judging from ICA's forward planning and the resource they have been putting in to reduce the congestion at their end in recent years, it seems SG govt has decided that we want Johor workers here to support our growth.

Kelana Jaya LRT is down for a week 1 week before GE.

JB CIQ is further down the priority list for Malaysian Politicians.

Think they've been improving the bike side on their end, especially for their own bikes.  Its the cars they dont give an f about. What might change is if there is a major accident, eg a chain of EVs caught in long jam caught fire end to end, and many casualties, including an MY vvip or 2. Then maybe someone wake up.

EV use very little power (as compared to moving) during idling

Perhaps there is some sanity to the madness.

RM22.37 per vehicle x 50,000 more crossing a day without jam = RM408m a year. They can hire a lot of officers (just manned all the f booths first). 

羊头出在羊身上。Just authorize adding resources and set the right KPI.

For motorcycles, there is 3 block (out of 4) of counters is machine clearance.

For car/bus/human, I hope they bring back MACS

Just came back from Malaysia. Reached around 820pm sultan abu Baksr customs, as usual 5 lanes merge into 4 lanes merge into 3 lanes merge into 2 lanes. Jam about close to one hour. Considered not too bad. Came back Singapore  tuas side jam another hour surprisingly. Singapore side close block A2 for cars, only A1 open 🙄🙄😑. Total jam time about 2 hours for both sides.  Saw someone’s old Porsche being sent back to SG on Lorry.
