Singapore residents can have their details filled in automatically by using Singpass or by using their camera to scan the machine-readable zone – the two or three rows of characters – at the bottom of their passport biodata page.Generating an individual code will require the details of just one person, but to generate a group QR code, the details of each traveller in the group must be submitted through one person’s smartphone.
Those using a group code must travel in the same vehicle. QR codes that do not tally with the details and number of travellers in the vehicle will be rejected. Said Deputy Superintendent Seah Jing Ying from ICA operations division: “The overall waiting time can be reduced by more than 30 per cent if most car travellers use QR codes for immigration clearance.”
The QR code initiative is the first step towards the Automated Passenger Clearance System , which was previously called the Automated Passenger In-Car Clearance System.

Muslims in Singapore to Begin Fasting for Ramadan on March 12Muslims in Singapore will begin fasting for the month of Ramadan on March 12, during which they will pay the compulsory zakat fitrah, or tithe, with its rate set at $5 or $7.70 per person. The rate remains unchanged from 2023, said the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) in a statement on March 9. The rate was derived from the median price of 2.3kg of rice, the staple food in Singapore. Those who consume a higher grade of rice than what is generally consumed by the Muslim community, such as brown rice and basmati rice, may pay the higher rate. Muis said its Fitrah Committee had concluded that the average price of each grade of rice was about the same as in 2023, adding that the committee also considered theWhile Muslims can pay the zakat fitrah any time during the month of Ramadan, it must be paid before the morning of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, which is slated to fall on April 10. They are advised to pay early ahead of celebrations. To avoid long queues at mosques, Muis advised Muslims to make payment online.
