Covered Pedestrian and Cycling Pathway on Causeway

69 Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Acting Minister for Transport (a) whether the Ministry will coordinate with the Malaysian authorities to construct a designated, covered pedestrian and cycling pathway on the Causeway to provide a safer, greener and more efficient alternative to motorised transport on one of the world's busiest land crossings; and (b) what discussions have already taken place on this matter, if any.

Mr Jeffrey Siow: While cycling is permitted on both sides of the Causeway, Malaysia currently prohibits walking along the Causeway. There are currently no plans for a covered pedestrian and cycling pathway along the Causeway.
