PUTRAJAYA, Nov 26– Effective Nov 29, the operating\u00a0hours of the Johor-Singapore Causeway will be extended from 12 hours to 18 hours daily, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Wee Ka Siong said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new operational times will be from 7 am to 1 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since April 2020, the operating hours have been reduced to 12 hours, which is from 7 am to 7 pm, following the border closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wee said the enforcement of the new operating times had been agreed upon by Malaysia and Singapore,\u00a0in view of the implementation of the VTL-Land\u00a0between both countries\u00a0next Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement on his Facebook account, Wee\u00a0said he had shared the good news with\u00a0representatives of lorry and logistics operators\u00a0in an online meeting\u00a0yesterday, including the Pan Malaysian Lorry Owners; Association of Malaysian Hauliers, and Malaysian Tipper Lorry Operators\u2019 Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is hoped that this initiative will ease the movements of lorry operators, trailers, and logistics companies, and help the recovery of the country\u2019s economic activities, especially the transportation sector that has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
