SINGAPORE - Close to 250,000 travellers left Singapore for Malaysia through the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints on Thursday, the highest number of daily departures since land borders between the two countries reopened in April 2022.

She ended up at the manual counters where officers were “stamping passports very slowly” and there were no proper queues.
