Already took a shortcut route by following Waze and joined the queue  just  500m  plus  to customs close to midnight as the EDL already jammed packed for many km. Even then only cleared Malaysian customs about 130am plus as many counters were closed.

At tuas side heard it was much worse due to Malaysia side block the lorry lane with cones and polis force cars to turn back for those who tried to cut the queue.

Think a lot of people come back already last night. My journey down from KL to johor area took 7hours due to nshw being extremely packed especially south of ayer keroh all the way to Senai . Saw a lot of polis riding along shoulder road catch those using shoulder lane.This Waze pics are from this morning 11am.

So you took around 1.5 hurs to clear the JB side yesterday, consider not that bad liao. Lol. I guess sg side should be faster than JB side? KL to JB took 7 hours!!! This is crazy. Anyway, for those who need to go back school, have to come by today.

I considered lucky liao since skipped most of the jam at EDL. Those joining the very tail end of the jam probably need at least 3 plus to 4 hours plus or more.  Sg side totally no Jam at all. Smooth like butter, jam is all at Malaysia side.  Even at jb customs, some cars had to reverse back at the counters booth as people went to booth marked with X and then got pple queue behind as cannot see due to  clusterf**k lol. Good luck to those coming back today, seems to be getting worse and worse as day goes longer.

Google map timing is too optimistic, with all these red zones more like 8.5 hours to  9 hours plus.

Onemotoring traffic cam show sg side for both customs are clear now. But never show the actual situation at the JB custom side. Lol.

Today reached the jam at 2nd link at 2pm, starting from before the TnG booths. Took about 1.5 hours to clear the TnG queue and another 1.5 hours to clear MY customs. Singapore side totally smooth . Should be much worse now at 6pm, jam tailback should be at RnR there . The new transport minister should consider moving the TnG away from the customs (really dumb location). And put some proper lanes, hire some RELA people to help with the traffic during festive season.

This is crazy, 11am from KL jam until 8.45pm still not yet reach sg! How these people survive during this crazy jam? No need to go toilet and eat?
