JOHOR BAHRU (Jan 29): The Johor Lorry Operator Association hopes the authorities could come up with a prompt solution on the congestion problem faced by lorry drivers at the Johor Causeway and the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link border gates.
Its chairman Novan Hing said drivers of Malaysian lorries laden with basic necessities to Singapore were facing serious congestion of up to 10 hours on the border at times.
He said the situation had forced the drivers to wait for the release process for a long period of time while not having access to food, drinks and toilet facilities.
“This problem has not only shackled the drivers but also caused damage to their cargoes especially vegetables and chicken,’’ he told a virtual media conference using Zoom application, here today.
