Heavy Traffic At Singapore Land Checkpoints During Year-End School Holidays

By Massita Ahmad SINGAPORE, Nov 24 (Bernama) -- With the ongoing Singapore year-end school holidays from Nov 19 to Jan 22, next year, traffic flow through the land checkpoints at Woodlands and Tuas is expected to be heavy. In a statement Thursday, the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said the traffic was expected to be particularly heavy on weekends throughout the holiday period. "Travellers intending to use the land checkpoints can expect delays," it said. ICA said it would continue to take necessary measures to improve clearance efficiency as much as possible without compromising security. "We seek travellers' understanding and cooperation when using the land checkpoints during peak periods," it said. -- BERNAMA
