Aidilfitri exodus: Malaysians, Thais flood Rantau Panjang border crossing


KOTA BARU: The Immigration, Customs, Quarantine, and Security Complex (ICQS) in Rantau Panjang was a sea of people as thousands of Malaysians working in Thailand and Thais working in Malaysia returned home to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Since early morning, the border checkpoint has been crowded with people carrying luggage and waiting for their turn to pass through immigration checks. The congestion is likely to continue until the eve of the festival.
