That is unfortunate one off incident.

Not surprising. School holidays + new procedures. There are now 2 barriers at passport counter. 1 original barrier at the front of passport counter, and 1 at the back. On average, it probably takes another 10-20 sec per car to go through passport clearance now.

The additional increase now is actually from last time you still need to go for check later, I understand what you notice, because the queue is pushed back now but trust me, net effect is savings in time. They already trialed the system before setting up the new system.

Additionally , the Malaysian must use up the free VEP before these free pass expire on 31 dec 2015 .

The new method should theoretically reduce cross border check time. Definitely shorter time.

I tried to wake up at 330am and leave my place at Bukit Indah @ 4am. Reached SG Custom 430am and #%#%$#^$ need to Q for about 30minute.

What the Heck is happening to Singapore's ( past ) world renowned efficiency after the old man kick the bucket?? The standard is now worse than the Malaysian... *Shake Heads*

No wonder Microsoft opened their data centre in Kulai instead of Singapore.

These few days the bike jam at Woodlands Checkpoint also crazy....the Aetos people completely screw up the area...end up motorbikes also occupy the car lanes!

Re: Operasi at second link MY to Sg

The Tuas Checkpoint uniformed has completely lost it. They have surrendered their control & authorities to the jam and Q cutters.

Imagine at 5am plus, 3 lanes become 5-6 lanes. Power? And if u wind down your car window u can grab the motorbike chap by his neck. Its so near. And the Atrocious Q-cutters are not using middle lanes to cut to the right lanes. They use the LEFT BUS / LORRY lanes to cut into middle lanes and then to right lanes!

The bikes have a field day honking.

Singapore Customs have completely LOST the war

I dont believe they will reduce the congestions and jams. You see, with due respect to "Singaporeans" here, one of the reasons why the perennial jams persist, like it or not, is because our immigration chaps are all locals. When there is no FT, there is no competition and the efficiency drops.

Yah right , just employ 4 Malaysian can do the job of around 20~30 locals . Was crossing the JB customs , only 2 lane with total 4 counters in operation , no jam and smooth flow . When I hit the SG customs , jam was like 3km ! There were around 10 to 15 officer checking , maybe another 10 to 15 officer chop passports. No wonder our productivities always negative .

 

[enjoylife77]

Nowadays the jam at causeway seems endless.

 

[Investor888]

I find it extremely peculiar.

At 4am we hit Malaysia custom at 2nd link and the 4 counters ( 2 each at one cluster ) chaps were either sleeping or yawning. Indeed, traffic is almost zero and that is why they are so tired. However when we approach Tuas, the jam is about 30 cars already. I really do not understand what is wrong with our system and efficiency now

Syrian migrants are coming to Malaysia. Good to check more thoroughly.

Malaysian passport got embedded micro chip. They are elctronically validated at MY side. That's one faster way of processing.
SG side all need to be stamped.

 

[bakkuttay]

all boils down to how inept and inefficient lhl and all his yesmen paper generals are, managing from their ivory tower..

malaysia boleh liao!!!!!!!

 

[myrsing]

Was in a coach. Stuck in the jam at 2nd link for almost 2hrs. No thanks to those motorists who used the "bus" lane.
