From next month, Malaysian vehicles and riders will be able to travel between Johor and Singapore using QR codes rather than documents.
Malaysia’s Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail reported on Monday ( Nov. 18 ) that this trial had been successful, starting in June and concluding this month.
For now, just Indonesian people on Malaysian-registered vehicles , will be able to use QR code at the Johor area gates, a spokeswoman from the Home Ministry told CNA on Tuesday.  , It is questionable if Malay using Singapore-registered cars are available.
Their documents are linked to the applications for QR-code certification.  ,
According to press outlet The Star, there are long-term plans to expand the use of QR codes to foreigners, related to how foreign visitors are able to utilize Malaysia’s autogate ability at its flights.  ,
Following a specific commission meet to ease congestion at the Causeway, Mr. Saifuddin stated at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur that trial participants had a significant impact on the time it took to clear emigration during peak times.
According to Mr. Saifuddin, referring to the use of the MyBorderPass program by motorcyclists,” the present method takes eight seconds while the QR code program reduces it to five seconds for a second rider and six seconds for those with a pillion rider.”  ,  ,
This means over 750 drivers are able to clean immigration in an hour, away from 500 to 600 motorcyclists recently, said Mr Saifuddin.
At the Sultan Iskandar Building ( BSI) linked to the Causeway, bus users managed to cut waiting times during peak hours from 120 minutes to 15 minutes, according to the Malay Mail.  ,
According to Mr. Saifuddin, the decision was reached in theory now, and it will be expanded to other modes of transportation once the two procurements are finalized.
