Singapore reports ‘exodus’ to Malaysia for long weekend FMTNews

The long queues at the Woodlands and Tuas crossings coincided with the Wesak Day celebration in Singapore on Friday and the June school holidays.

The Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said the surge in travel was due to the Wesak Day long weekend and the June school holiday season. It also reported a long queue on the Malaysian side, “with people packed shoulder to shoulder”, entering the immigration hall at the Sultan Iskandar Building in Johor Bahru.

One woman claimed the e-gate failure led everyone to manual counters, but they were faced with officers who were “stamping passports very slowly”, with people not falling in line.
