00:00 The shortcut, people usually walk through this road.
00:08 You see, it's actually quite dangerous.
00:12 This assemblyman in Johor has called for a pedestrian shortcut
00:16 to the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar BSI Customs Immigration and Quarantine Complex CIQ
00:23 to be officially gazetted for public use as an alternative entrance into the checkpoint.
00:28 Actually, we have two access to the CIQ.
00:31 One is from the Jalan Jim Kui and one is from the other side, Jalan Tun Razak.
00:36 And before MCO, a lot of people using this route from the hotel, I mean, at the EDL site,
00:43 going to the CIQ through this route.
00:45 They consider it as shortcut.
00:47 But after MCO, CIQ decided to close it out, not to let people use it
00:54 because it's dangerous also and it's illegal as well.
00:57 You cannot simply walk like this.
01:00 So since a lot of people raised the issue saying that actually this route should be opened up,
01:06 so I hope JKR, PDRM, JPJ, Immigration and MBJB also can sit down
01:14 and to discuss the feasibilities to open up this route.
01:19 Of course, my suggestion is that when you open up, you need to open up this road,
01:24 this shortcut or need to make it a legal entry for people to walk in.
01:32 You need to gazette it and of course, you need to have a proper walkway.
01:36 You need to design it properly with traffic light, zebra crossing, proper walkway,
01:44 right sideboard and of course, you have to gazette it.
01:49 This will provide an alternative entry to CIQ besides Jalan Turazak and Jalan Jinkui.
01:57 So this will certainly ease the congestion of Jalan Jinkui and Jalan Turazak
02:02 and especially when you have construction of RTS now.
02:05 So I think it's viable to have another exit, another shortcut to the CIQ
02:11 but need to be properly planned.
