SINGAPORE — Close to 280,000 travellers departed Singapore for Malaysia using the land checkpoints on Friday (April 29) and Saturday, said the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).

“In view of the high number of travellers who are expected to return to Singapore over the next few days, traffic congestion is expected at the land checkpoints,” ICA said in a media statement on Sunday.

In an advisory issued last Wednesday, ICA said it expects more people to travel across the borders during the long weekend and will allocate manpower accordingly. “Singapore permanent residents who have renewed their passport will have to transfer their Re-Entry Permit to the new passport,” said ICA.

Those entering Singapore via foreign-registered vehicles are required to hold a valid Vehicle Entry Permit , Land Transport Authority approval email and Autopass card.
