With Chinese New Year just around the corner, traffic at the Tuas and Woodlands checkpoints linking Singapore and Malaysia is expected to be heavy, said the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
The number of travellers plying between the checkpoints is expected to rise from 400,000 to 430,000 during this peak period.
Travellers should expect longer than usual waits due to tight security checks, said ICA who also reminded everyone not to bring in prohibited items like firecrackers.
Controlled items such as bak kwa, eggs and potted plants are subject to travellers’ allowance from approved countries. Visit www.ica.gov.sg for more details.
