On Thursday, March 28th, the Singapore-Malaysia land checkpoints witnessed a historic moment as over half a million travelers crossed the border. The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) reported an astounding figure of 510,000 individuals passing through the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints, setting a new record for daily traffic.
This significant surge in border crossings was noted just before the Good Friday long weekend, highlighting the holiday rush’s impact on travel patterns. The ICA anticipates the heavy traffic to persist into Friday and Saturday, with continuous congestion expected from Malaysia’s checkpoints for those departing.
This landmark event underscores the critical role of the Singapore-Malaysia land border in facilitating travel and underscores the importance of efficient border management to accommodate such high volumes of travelers.
