PETALING JAYA<\/span>:<\/address>\n

The issue of congested heavy vehicle lanes on the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link at the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex, allegedly due to mandatory scanning inspections, will be brought to the home ministry\u2019s attention, says transport minister Loke Siew Fook.<\/p><\/div>\n

Loke said matters related to the complex, including the operation of scanning machines, fall under the jurisdiction of the Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS), which is under the home ministry\u2019s purview.<\/p>\n

He said congestion on the Johor Causeway and Second Link is a government concern, and a special mechanism has been established through the Johor Causeway Congestion Cabinet Committee to address it comprehensively.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll operational issues will be discussed, implemented and managed through this platform,\u201d Bernama reported him as saying in Johor Bahru today.<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that lorry drivers entering Singapore were stranded for up to four hours at the Second Link.<\/p>\n

Congestion on the heavy vehicle lanes has reportedly been occurring since mid-February, following the implementation of mandatory scanning inspections on all heavy vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
