JOHOR BARU: Travellers using the QR code-based immigration clearance at the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex here to enter Singapore have given it the thumbs up.
State Immigration acting director Mohd Faizal Shamsudin today said operations were smooth and that travellers had given positive feedback on using the QR code at the complex's Customs, Immigration, Quarantine and Security (CIQS) area.
Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the MyTrip QR code system, which started yesterday, would undergo a three-month trial before it was expected to be implemented at checkpoints nationwide.
The initiative is aimed at making travel easier to Singapore for Malaysians.
He said the system would be implemented at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar CIQ in the near future.
The QR code system is part of a broader effort to address congestion at the country's two main entry points and to improve traffic flow.
In the first phase, the system is available to Malaysians traveling by bus or motorcycle.
Travellers must register through the MyTRIP feature on the MySejahtera application.
Five motorcycle lanes and four bus lanes at the entry and exit of Sultan Abu Bakar Complex have the system.
Faizal said the number of counters would be increased in subsequent phases.
He said the MBike, e-gate and manual counters would remain open to frequent travellers.
He urged travellers to log into their social media channels for traffic updates and live-streaming of traffic flow at both CIQs.
Information on the QR code system can be found in MySejahtera's FAQ section.
