Johor govt in talks with Grab to enhance cross border travel agreement between Malaysia and Singapore

The Johor state government is in talks with ride-hailing firm Grab to further streamline travel between the state and Singapore by updating the cross-border travel agreement, Bernama has reported.

Discussions on the matter are part of broader efforts to enhance the transportation and tourism sectors in Johor ahead of Visit Johor Year 2026, said Johor chief minister Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.

“The discussions also explored potential cross-border collaborations involving the Malaysian and Singaporean transport ministries, alongside the role of Grab and other public transport providers in facilitating smoother travel between the two countries,” he said.

    Despite Grab is doing well
    The shares prices are still down
    18.29 Billion Market Cap
    Now where is the Crown?
    And I think to myself…
    Is Grab telling the truthhhh…

    Exploiting workers
    They said they are humans
    Oh wait I forgot
    They act like demons
    And I think to myself….
    Is Grab telling the truthhhh….

    And I know I may get some hates
    While eating Dates
    Talking to my babes
    And that’s just life…

    Don’t trust big corporations
    They spread all kinds of lies
    And now with Ai
    Just say your last goodbyes
    And I think to myself…
    Is Grab telling the truth….

    And I think to myself…
    Is Grab….Telling…The…..Truthhhh……
