ISKANDAR PUTERI (Nov 25): The construction of a third bridge linking Johor and Singapore is a long-term measure to tackle congestion at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complex and Sultan Abu Bakar CIQ complex. 

Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also Gambir state assemblyman, said he had already informed the federal government about the need for the construction of the bridge.

“If the state government supports I will ensure this initiative (the construction of a third bridge) will be started,” he said during a debate at the Johor state assembly sitting here today.
