MUAR, July 5 — Malaysia and Singapore are targeting the launch of a new digital immigration system and additional lanes by January next year to address congestion at border checkpoints more comprehensively.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the initiative will be jointly launched with his Singapore counterpart Lawrence Wong once all technical preparations and infrastructure are completed.
He stressed that the project is not a manifesto or new political promise, noting that any new announcements during an election campaign period are against the law.
“God willing, I will launch it together with Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong once it is ready, likely in January. It will resolve many issues, including a more advanced digital immigration system to facilitate movement,” he said at the Temu Anwar Johor Ke Depan programme here today.
Anwar said the Home Ministry, through the Immigration Department, is also intensifying efforts to speed up clearance at the country’s entry points.
