Menteri besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi said various federal and state agencies were working together to ensure that the initiative was carried out in line with the Johor Maju 2030 initiative.

“Recently, I have become more and more popular, not because of my handsome appearance, but because I went viral on social media in an effort to solve the congestion at the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex in Bangunan Sultan Iskandar and the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex.

“Now the state government is also focusing on efforts to repair potholes and to improve our internet connectivity. We will try to overcome (these issues) by next year at the latest,” he said when speaking at the Johor-Korea 2023 Business Forum here.

Onn Hafiz said the state government had managed to reduce the travel time for commuters travelling from Johor to Singapore for work every day by up to 30 minutes.

Prior to this, Onn Hafiz reportedly conducted periodic surprise checks at the immigration counters at Bangunan Sultan Iskandar and the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex in Iskandar Puteri.
