Traffic is expected to be heavy at both the Woodlands and Tuas land checkpoints between Singapore and Malaysia over the Labour Day (May 1st) weekend, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) has said, reported The Straits Times.
Travellers can expect heavy departure traffic on Friday (April 29th), while arrival traffic is likely to be particularly heavy on Monday (May 2nd), the ICA added in a statement on Tuesday. Traffic build-up is inevitable with security checks in place, ICA said.
"Security at our checkpoints remains the ICA's top priority," the Authority warned. The BioScreen system has been implemented at the passenger halls of the land checkpoints to capture the thumbprints of visitors. "To avoid a surge of travellers and vehicles seeking clearance at the land checkpoints, travellers are advised to adjust their travel plans if possible," it added. The ICA also encourages Singaporeans to carpool when using the land checkpoints.
It also reminded travellers to ensure that their passports are valid before their journey. The passports must have a validity of six months or more. Singaporeans have also presented passports that were previously reported as lost. These can no longer be used for travelling even if they are later found as they have been cancelled by the ICA.
