Mother of ALL JAMs in at Checkpoint

[BengGaBoy]

I thought Checkpoint.sg app was modified recently with the addition of a stock market chart, until I took a closer look and it turned out to be travel time over a 24hr period which also showed the same period a week ago. Good to know.

 

Today is like an unusual Saturday. No cars on Woodlands viaduct and the Causeway, and at 2nd link too. What change?

 

Next week exam mah so all parents guai guai stay back lor! Hahaha

Have not been going in as frequently as I used to for a long while, and I think my last TNG card must have also expired already. 

 

Now picking back golf and likely will be going in more often to dig some turf.

 

Can we still buy a TNG card at their custom? Going to need one very soon.

Second Link is easier with the self service machines. There's a counter at CIQ that sells it too, just ask the chop passport officer, hazard lights so no car will queue behind you. 

 

Alternatively, buy from Carousell although I think it's not worth paying a premium for it. I'm a cheapskate after all that's why I go to JB. I like to believe there is always a backup system in place at all checkpoints for people with TnG issues so it's unlikely you'll be completely stuck.

Yes, they do have a counter to get a TNG card, just check with the Customs Staff to confirm.

If I recall correctly, it is counter B10 on the right-most side of the Customs at JB CIQ.

2nd link it shall be. 

 

I have been caught waiting behind some cars who dont have a TNG card, so I can understand the tulan-ness. Dont want to be the one creating the same feeling for cars behind me. Also have not been keeping track of the changes for a while,  so better to make sure before i go again.  

 

Thanks bro, shall go via 2nd link!!!

yah I remember it was counter 10, the far right counter, which used to be for taxis and top ups. But recently like got news that the counter no long sell TNG cards and top ups, so just making sure before I ended up holding cars behind me back. That tulan faces not so nice to see...

Ya, go via tuas would be better cos more courses from 2nd link.... since you just pick up golf again, better don't go Austin or ponderosa or else you will suffer and wonder why you pick it up again.

 

forest city would be fun for you, its wide fairway and it feels like cushion... on the tee and on fairway. that is how good their grass is. 

 

please do not reach officer then only come down to buy your tng card. don't be one of those that block the counter when we all are going in for golf too. if not, i am gg to throw smelly egg when you are at counter.... hahahaha.... joking ya.... 

[Tianmo]

All the time.....

 

Because it will be just as jam all the time...

Hahaha.. Totally understand and can relate to the Tulan-ness feeling as well as the paiseh-ness of holding people up.

Must really raise hands and say sorry then I think people won't be so tu-lan. Of course as usual, I've encountered those who still take own sweet time, stroll and get in their cars like nothing happened.

 

For the counter, they do not do top-ups any more but they do sell new cards - Basically they just cater for those people whose cards have expired or their TNG no more value - Bare minimum is new card at RM50, if you wanna top up further, you gotta do it at the stations thereafter.
