Azlan Shah said that the implementation of the promotional fare is also part of the government's ongoing efforts to ensure that the benefits of rail public transportation can be enjoyed by more people, especially daily commuters who travel between residential areas, city centres, and workplaces in the Johor Bahru, Kulai, and Pasir Gudang corridor. The Southern Shuttle service launched on June 16 is a government initiative to enhance connectivity and mobility for the people of Johor through two main routes, namely Kulai-JB Sentral-Kulai and Kempas Baru-Pasir Gudang-Kempas Baru.

"This RM216.44 million allocation proves the MADANI Government's continuous commitment to ensuring the people of Johor enjoy access to quality housing, comfortable public amenities, and a more sustainable, prosperous living environment. "To give an example, this flat (Flat Taman Ungku Tun Aminah) is 41 years old and is the largest in Johor, with over 80 blocks.
