New CIQ complex to open in October

JOHOR BARU: The new Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complex in Bukit Chagar will open its doors to the public in October after 18 government agencies move in.
Works Minister Datuk Seri Samy Vellu said the complex would be handed over to the Government in July.
“The agencies will then have another four months to move into the complex from the old CIQ at the Causeway.
“This will be about the same time when a temporary access from the CIQ to the Causeway is completed,” he said after a visit to the CIQ project here Thursday.
Samy Vellu said the RM1.26bil project was completed on time but additional funds were used for the building of an eight-lane permanent link between the CIQ and the causeway.
The link is expected to take 18 months to complete.
“The only delay involved the bridge project which has since been cancelled and the Government has paid the compensation to the company concern,” he said.
