JOHOR BARU: Travel agencies and transport operators are disappointed at the shoddy facilities for bus passengers at the Second Link checkpoint in Tanjung Kupang near Gelang Patah, and they urge those responsible to expedite plans for repair work. However, it gained attention when Johor Tourism, Trade and Consumerism Committee chairman Datuk Tee Siew Kiong visited the complex on Oct 1. Chua, who is Johor Tourism Association committee member said the various campaigns to lure tourists into Johor were useless if the issue of proper amenities at entry points were not resolved. Tee said a meeting with Johor tourism bodies, Immigration Department and non-governmental organisations would draft a proposal for the upgrades and to propose a suitable budget for it. He said tourists complained about the damaged awning for the five foot way at the drop off point for bus passengers and the lack of toilets where bus passengers queued up for immigration checks.
