SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Travellers from Singapore are advised to postpone any non-essential trips to Johor as continuous heavy traffic is expected at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints this weekend, said the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA).

Heavy traffic at the two land checkpoints since the start of the March school holidays – which began on March 14 and will last until March 24 – has been worsened by the monsoon surge, according to ICA in a Facebook post on March 21.
