Calling super crispy Thai omelette fans... Yak Yim Thai Kitchen in Taman Paramount serves a great one with good ‘pad thai’ and ‘pad see ew’Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi acknowledged that reducing congestion and expanding the pool of skilled workers in Johor are among the ‘drastic changes’ the state government is pursuing to fully harness the economic cooperation potential between Malaysia and Singapore.
Onn Hafiz however did not say whether holders of the special passes would have to go through a special lane or priority clearance at immigration counters. His remarks followed a report from the Singapore Business Federation indicating that nine out of 10 Singaporean firms consider Johor an appealing investment destination, though many businesses are anticipating challenges such as sourcing skilled workers and delays in the movement of people and goods due to congestion at land crossings.
He also highlighted upcoming developments aimed at improving transportation within and around southern Johor which include widening the North-South Highway to six lanes from four by 2025 and a public transport network in Johor Baru town, which will later be integrated with the Johor-Singapore RTS Link.
