The Malaysia-Thailand road alignment project that connects the Bukit Kayu Hitam immigration, customs, quarantine and security (ICQS) complex with the Sadao customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) complex is scheduled for completion by the end of this year, Bernama has reported.
The construction of a new CIQ complex on the Thailand side of the road link has already been completed a few years ago, said Ahmad Fahmi Ahmad Sarkawi, consul-general of Malaysia in Songkhla. However, several technical obstacles meant that finalising the road connection to the new Sadao CIQ complex was delayed.
“When prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim took office, he issued a directive and actively pushed for the project’s resumption. After overcoming these technical issues, the project resumed in 2023 and is now scheduled for completion by July or August this year,” Ahmad Fahmi said in a recent interview, adding that he hoped the project will begin operations by the end of 2025.
The initial design for the road alignment connecting the two countries’ immigration complexes was ready at the end of 2022, and Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim requested in 2023 for the project to be sped up, as this would promote business and improve well-being of the people, he said at the time.
