It says the primary cause of the traffic congestion during the long weekend was the delay in vehicles clearing the Malaysian checkpoint.
SINGAPORE: The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority has responded to recent online claims, denying responsibility for the congestion witnessed at the Singapore-Malaysia land checkpoints during the long weekend earlier this month, coinciding with the presidential election polling day on September 1.
Addressing the concerns raised by some members of the public online, the ICA emphasized that Singapore’s commitment to border security cannot be relaxed, even during peak travel periods. The authority clarified that the primary cause of the traffic congestion during the long weekend was the delay in vehicles clearing the Malaysian checkpoint. This delay prevented vehicles that had successfully passed through the Singapore checkpoint from proceeding into Malaysia.
