JOHOR BARU: A week after the opening of the Sultan Iskandar Building which houses the new Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complex, small traders in the city centre are moaning about a drop in business.

Businesses which dot the central town area around Jalan Wong Ah Fook and Jalan Ibrahim have been hit by the decrease in traffic coming their way as many motorists and pedestrians now head for the new CIQ complex, which is about 500 metres from the former CIQ complex at the Causeway .

The most affected are those selling magazines, newspapers and snacks.

Most of their customers are people who cross the Causeway daily to work in Singapore. …
