JOHOR BAHRU, Oct 28 — Latest technology scanners will be deployed at the Immigration, Customs and Quarantine (ICQ) Complex in Bukit Chagar here once the Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link starts operations early next year.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the implementation of this technology marks a first for Malaysia and serves as part of efforts to enhance security at the nation’s entry points.
He explained that the technology is capable of detecting objects carried on a person’s body, including items wrapped or concealed in specific materials intended to evade detection.
“A demonstration of this equipment was presented to me while I was reviewing security preparations for the Malaysia-Singapore Cross-Border Joint Security Exercise (Field Training Exercise/FTX 2026).
