JOHOR BARU - THE government has decided not to re-open the old Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex to pedestrians.
The decision was made following a three-month study which showed that it would not be cost effective to build a new complex and house security personnel to handle fewer than 1,000 people.
Home Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mahmud Adam said the matter was now a non-issue as it would cost between RM5mil (S$2.05 million) and RM7mil to operate at the old site.
Datuk Mahmud said fewer than 1,000 people walked across the Causeway and it would not be cost effective to operate there.
He added that most people used the new complex in Bukit Chagar.
He said all the old buildings had also been demolished and work on the new Medium Term Link was underway.
