SINGAPORE: Malaysia has done its maximum to ease traffic congestion at the Johor Causeway and now it is up to the Singapore side to reciprocate and address the issue, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister commended the effort put in by the Malaysian Immigration, Customs and agencies in tackling the issue.
On his recent announcement on the special economic zone in Johor, he said that the congestion at the Johor Causeway would not affect those working in Singapore and staying here as it would involve the second link. He said among the incentives were allowing for multiple entry visas, fast track entry for those working from Singapore and a flat income tax rate of 15% for knowledge workers.Anwar said that Johor has a uniqueness as it was next to Singapore and instead of competing with each other, Malaysia and the island republic could complement each other.
The first one-hour session, ‘A Conversation with Prime Minister of Malaysia’ was moderated by Bloomberg’s anchor and chief international correspondent for South-East Asia, Haslinda Amin.
