Many are unhappy with the Johor state government's announcement on 24 July that the toll rates will be increased for vehicles traveling at the Customs, Immigration & Quarantine (CIQ) Building Sultan Iskandar, Johor Bahru.

Starting from August 1st, all vehicles travelling through the causeway into or out of Malaysia will have to pay a toll of RM9.70 from the RM2.90 which had been previously imposed.
