SINGAPORE: Those travelling to Malaysia on Saturday (June 21) can expect up to a three-hour wait to clear customs at Woodlands Checkpoint, said the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).

In a Facebook post at around 8.15am, ICA said that there is “very heavy departure traffic” at the checkpoint due to tailback from Malaysia, with traffic congestion extending beyond Exit 10A of the BKE.

ICA warned motorists that they can expect a queueing time of three hours or longer.

With the June school holidays coming to a close on June 29, traffic is expected to be heavy at both land checkpoints, especially on the weekends.

Earlier this month, ICA reminded motorists about proper road etiquette, warning those caught jumping queues by its officers at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints that they will have to make a U-turn and rejoin the queue.

They could also be blacklisted and face further disciplinary action from the authorities. - The Straits Times/ANN
