SINGAPORE: People arriving and departing through the Tuas and Woodlands checkpoints by car will soon need to have their thumbprints scanned at immigration counters.  

The BioScreen security system, which was launched in April 2016, captures the thumbprints of visitors arriving at and departing from Singapore's checkpoints.
