“The Causeway… a bridge between two nations,” a voice whispered, drawing your attention to the imposing structure ahead. This, my friends, is the Sultan Iskandar Building, more commonly known as the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority or CIQ complex of Johor Bahru. A gateway between Malaysia and Singapore, the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority is a bustling hive of activity, processing thousands of people daily. This grand structure, replacing its predecessor in 2008, stands as a testament to the ever-growing connection between these two nations. The Sultan Iskandar Building is no ordinary checkpoint. It’s a symbol of progress, a testament to the special bond between Malaysia and Singapore. The transition to this new complex wasn’t without its hiccups, though. Motorists initially grappled with confusing lane layouts, while pedestrians found the new location less accessible. Yet, the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority has come a long way since then, streamlining its operations and embracing technology. Today, it stands as a modern, efficient complex, facilitating the movement of people and goods between the two countries with an impressive use of technology. In fact, it was the first to implement fully electronic toll collections, paving the way for similar systems across the country’s expressways.
