SINGAPORE, Jan 21 — Those who are planning to drive up north for Chinese New Year are prepared for long traffic jams at the checkpoints, with some planning to stock up on snacks and making sure they do not drink too much water before the ride.

Lim Kok Leong is one of the travellers who left for Perak earlier this week on Tuesday to avoid the Chinese New Year crowd. “We took only 30 minutes to clear the Singapore customs, but we took about three hours to clear on the Malaysian customs side. I don’t know why it took so long,” the 24-year-old engineer said.

“We usually go to Johor almost every weekend, and avoid the jam by going during non-peak hours and by train,” she said.
