Traffic snarl at Woodlands checkpoint after Malaysian driver sneaked into Singapore

Singapore-bound traffic on the Causeway was crawling at noon on Wednesday, a day after police and immigration authorities said a Malaysian woman motorist managed to sneak into Singapore at the checkpoint by tailgating a vehicle.

Traffic cameras showed a jam on the Causeway on the side leading into Singapore, while traffic in the opposite direction was smooth.

At the Tuas checkpoint, traffic in both directions appeared smooth.

In a statement on Tuesday, the police and Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said they were going to review their security systems and work processes at the checkpoints to prevent a recurrence.

Yi Xiang was a pretty good nursery.

They used to supply to Singapore nurseries including World Farm

They had a pretty good, wide n vast selection of plants.

Yet to find something even close to it in sheer terms of size.

Oic in Permas, never heard of it actually haha.

Never ever stick it in the ground. Happened to me the first time and it was too long ago for my dad to remember. We stuck a mini rocket onto the ground and watched while the fuse burnt until BOOM it exploded in front of us. Luckily it was a small one but it was enough to scare us hahaha. Another time someone lit one which was actually faulty so instead of flying up, it flew like a mini cruise missile before exploding right outside a neighbours house.

Thanks for the advice Wuqi.

Aiyo, you guys never play fire crackers/works before? Anywhere also can play one la, just be smart about it. And neighbors are usually very understanding during this period, if they are Chinese chances are they will play even more.
Every year me and my brother will pool money to buy those big ones (powerful enough that the ground shakes, 100 shots, RM1.5k) and set them off at 12.00am, the taman kids actually cycle around to catch the showtime from us and the surrounding houses. CNY is just the best!!!

Yes, never for me haha. Just curious, the powerful ones need to be how far away from cars to be safe? 100 shots means can fire 100 times? Or one time 1.5k?

Are they looking for more mental patients hiding, or checking mental conditions of car passengers?

last nite i was too tired to ask officer , perhaps u can ask them since u travel daily ?

Haha, the MRT will take billions to update the signaling and electrical systems. My guess is all the taxes and fares will have to go up to pay for them. This is after billions of dollars for the new MRT trains and patch work upgrading of system and tracks. The previous CEO and her gang escaped without any punishments for inflicting severe damage to the public transport system. It will haunt all MRT commuters for the next 5-10 years.

You got to ask what are they checking for.

If this is to go on, the officer from ICA will be under lots of mental and physical stresses.

I was returning at 4pm plus faced the same thing. I think the ICA had gone mental.

An election manifesto that Singaporeans can only dream of....

Updated: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 09:03:53 GMT | By The Malaysian Insider : Business
Cars cheaper by up to 30% over next 5 years under new automotive policy, says minister

".........

We cannot force car prices to be reduced but we believe in competition and in line with our election manifesto, we remain committed to the 20% - 30% reduction.

"I have been asked in Parliament why the car prices are still high, we have told them it cannot happen immediately but it will happen in five years," he said.

He said more new models and variants will be introduced at competitive prices this year, pointing out that models such as Saga SV, Persona SV, Viva, Alza and MyVi S series, Honda Jazz and Nissan Almera were introduced at reduced prices of between 3% and 17%.

These models accounted for 30% of market share last year.
