SINGAPORE: More than half a million travellers crossed the Singapore-Malaysia land border on Thursday (Mar 28), the Immigrations & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said on Friday.
The authority said 510,000 travellers cleared through Woodlands and Tuas Checkpoints, ahead of the Good Friday long weekend.
This is the highest recorded number of travellers using the land checkpoints in a single day, it added.
ICA said it observed continuous tailbacks from Malaysia at Woodlands Checkpoint throughout the day, resulting in vehicular queues extending beyond the Seletar Expressway (SLE).
"Tailback was also observed at the Second Link, from Malaysia reaching Tuas Checkpoint."

TRAFFIC TO REMAIN HEAVY​

Traffic is expected to remain very heavy on Friday and Saturday at both land checkpoints with continuous tailbacks from Malaysia’s checkpoints for departing motorists, ICA said.
In a Facebook update at around 1.25pm on Friday, it said that travellers can expect a delay of up to three hours or more.
"At Woodlands Checkpoint, departure car queues tailback from Malaysia have extended to beyond Woodlands Ave 3 exit 10A.
"At Tuas Checkpoint, departure car queues tailback from Malaysia has receded to 2nd Link Bridge."
In another update at about 2.40pm, ICA no longer specified the expected waiting time and the length of the tailback at Woodlands, instead saying: "Heavy departure traffic at Woodlands Checkpoint due to tailback from Malaysia. Delays are expected and travellers are advised to check traffic conditions before embarking on their journey."
In a separate Facebook post at 4.25pm, ICA said that an accident had occurred on the Causeway in the direction of Johor Bahru.
"It is blocking one out of three lanes. Travellers planning to depart Singapore via Woodlands Checkpoint should expect delays," it said.
The accident site was cleared by about 5.55pm, with ICA saying that all lanes of the Causeway were operational.
At 7.05pm, it said that the tailback of departure traffic from Malaysia at Woodlands Checkpoint had subsided.
Arrival traffic is also expected to be heavy on Mar 31 as travellers who have departed are expected to return to Singapore, ICA said.
Travellers using the land checkpoints are advised to factor in additional waiting time for immigration clearance, it added.
"ICA also seeks travellers' understanding and cooperation to be patient, observe traffic rules, maintain lane discipline, and cooperate with officers on-site when using the land checkpoints."

Johore is still an more interesting place than Sindiapore, even sinkies still prefer to make money here but spend money and live in Johore.
Who is still loyal to Sindiapore, I worry!

Our retail, F&B and hotels suffered. Say each individual spent average $200 ( low estimate) in Malaysia over the long weekend, the lost income to the Singapore economy is $100 million.
