The pedestrian shortcut to the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex (CIQ) should be officially gazetted for public use as an alternative entrance into the check point.
Stulang assemblyman Andrew Chen Kah Eng said the move could significantly reduce congestion at the two existing entrances which are located along Jalan Jim Quee and Jalan Tun Razak in Johor Baru town.

00:00 The shortcut, people usually walk through this road.
00:08 You see, it's actually quite dangerous.
00:12 This assemblyman in Johor has called for a pedestrian shortcut
00:16 to the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar BSI Customs Immigration and Quarantine Complex CIQ
00:23 to be officially gazetted for public use as an alternative entrance into the checkpoint.
00:28 Actually, we have two access to the CIQ.
00:31 One is from the Jalan Jim Kui and one is from the other side, Jalan Tun Razak.
00:36 And before MCO, a lot of people using this route from the hotel, I mean, at the EDL site,
00:43 going to the CIQ through this route.
00:45 They consider it as shortcut.
00:47 But after MCO, CIQ decided to close it out, not to let people use it
00:54 because it's dangerous also and it's illegal as well.
00:57 You cannot simply walk like this.
01:00 So since a lot of people raised the issue saying that actually this route should be opened up,
01:06 so I hope JKR, PDRM, JPJ, Immigration and MBJB also can sit down
01:14 and to discuss the feasibilities to open up this route.
01:19 Of course, my suggestion is that when you open up, you need to open up this road,
01:24 this shortcut or need to make it a legal entry for people to walk in.
01:32 You need to gazette it and of course, you need to have a proper walkway.
01:36 You need to design it properly with traffic light, zebra crossing, proper walkway,
01:44 right sideboard and of course, you have to gazette it.
01:49 This will provide an alternative entry to CIQ besides Jalan Turazak and Jalan Jinkui.
01:57 So this will certainly ease the congestion of Jalan Jinkui and Jalan Turazak
02:02 and especially when you have construction of RTS now.
02:05 So I think it's viable to have another exit, another shortcut to the CIQ
02:11 but need to be properly planned.
