SINGAPORE - Comments by Malaysians that heavy congestion at the land checkpoints is generally caused by Singapore are inaccurate, said the Republic’s border agency on Friday.
On Friday, ICA said it puts in place additional measures to ease crowding and manage traffic flow on days when congestion is heavier, especially during long weekends and holiday seasons. During the Aug 31 long weekend, there was a severe tailback of traffic from both of Malaysia’s land checkpoints all the way to Singapore’s checkpoints, ICA noted.
It cited the use of multi-modal biometric scanning technology at the bus halls and motorcycle lanes at Singapore’s checkpoints, which can detect foreigners with multiple identities or impersonated personalities. ICA said it will add more automated lanes and outfit them with its next-generation Automated Border Clearance System.
Car zones are converted to clear motorcycles during peak periods to reduce queues on roads surrounding the land checkpoints, ICA said.
