He said this after thanking police officers responsible for controlling traffic at the Sultan Abu Bakar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complex at the Second Link in Gelang Patah.

“I have been told that vehicles that cut the queue will be denied entry into Malaysia and instructed to return to Singapore,” he said in a Twitter post.

Netizens commended the menteri besar for his attentiveness to the issues encountered by road users when crossing the two land-based links between Malaysia and Singapore.

“Well done! Tighten the rules and educate them to follow our rules,” Facebook user Saidah Jubri said.

Another user, Abdullah Jerry Boatman, pointed out that the lines were growing longer and that queue-cutting was becoming increasingly prevalent.

“Please tell the police to be more strict. Many cut the queue and join back midway because they are aware that there are police officers at the front (of the line),” he said.

Twitter user @davidwong27 said the traffic problems at the Causeway in Johor Bahru have been a recurring nightmare for thousands of motorists on a daily basis.

This was especially so during long weekends or holidays, he said.

Another user with the handle of @JamilSeafood67 also highlighted that the illegal use of the bus lane by other vehicles was another reason why people arrived late to work.

“I hope that strict action will be taken against these road users,” he said.
