JOHOR BARU: The country’s land checkpoints with Singapore are expected to be crowded as travellers from the island republic come in droves with their long school holiday starting today.

With the large number of travellers expected to cross the Causeway and Second Link, the Immigration Department is taking protective measures to ease traffic congestion at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) and Sultan Abu Bakar (KSAB) Customs, Immigration and Quarantine complexes.
