Frequent users of the Johor Causeway will be familiar with the undesirable traffic situation during peak hours. In light of this, Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar, the Sultan of Johor has urged stakeholders to mull the idea of replacing the Johor Causeway with a bridge.
“I feel sorry for the thousands of Malaysians and Singaporeans who are stuck in traffic jams at the Causeway daily due to the congestion. It is worse during holidays and festive seasons. Also, many people are walking to Singapore daily due to the bad traffic jams,” Sultan Ibrahim said.
In the report by The Star, HRH said that if Singapore disagreed with an undersea tunnel, then a swing bridge could be considered. “I am sure if you work with Singapore, they will accept as it will be a win-win situation for both countries, but you will have to give a good reason to replace the Causeway,” he added.
“The water at the Causeway has stagnated for so many years. Both countries should put aside their differences and come up with solutions to improve mobility,” he said, adding that the projects should have been completed years ago.
He also spoke about the need for the extension of the rapid transit system (RTS) from Singapore to Johor Baru to improve connectivity. Additionally, he urged the Malaysian Immigration Department to keep all its booths open all the time, as there were complaints that many of the booths were not open during peak hours and holidays.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments generally support the Johor Sultan’s call to replace the Causeway, citing congestion issues and economic benefits. Many emphasize the need for a third link or high-capacity bridge to reduce traffic, improve connectivity, and alleviate bottlenecks at checkpoints. Some comments suggest that Singapore resists new connections for strategic and security reasons, while others believe systemic problems like corruption and inefficient border processes are the root causes of delays. There’s also a discussion about the economic potential of improving infrastructure, with a few pointing out that Singapore might intentionally delay or oppose new links to protect its own interests. Overall, sentiments are in favor of modernization and infrastructure expansion, with a focus on enhancing Malaysia–Singapore connectivity.
