D1, D3 and D4 closed. (D stands for Departure) In D2, only 3 counters on each side open (total 6 counters). I understand that D3 & D4 closed due to upgrading & installation of new check-in machines where one have to "own self check-in own self" (driver and passengers) but D1 not opened. Actually 1 hour to clear SG immigration during peak holiday season is really within tolerance level but I avoid day trip to JB during this period. Not worth it. Usually during peak, SG will open most counters, and when things are really bad, the lorry lanes, can’t fault them. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic December 16, 2022 Share December 16, 2022 (edited) it’s LLST situation la i normally crossed Tuas at 3-4am and there are only 2 counters opened hence, a bit of queing then i was thinking if i am ICA, why would i want to staff people to open 6-8 or more counters at 3-4am so even driver go at 3-4am, because only open 2 counters … LL has to queue and take sometime to cross resource is limited … cost is limited … unless we reach a way of “unmanned counter” and direct crossing Edited December 16, 2022 by Wt_know 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohjoe 2nd Gear December 16, 2022 Share December 16, 2022 (edited) @Wt_know I went up Genting Saturday 3Dec, reached Tuas checkpoint at 4am queued 20mins, I recall 5 counters open. Malaysia checkpoint got about 8 counters open but no queue. Then I just read this news 😓 https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/live-updates-at-least-13-killed-in-landslide-near-genting-highlands Edited December 16, 2022 by Mohjoe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try departing weekends after 8am and return after 7pm on Sunday during school holidays bro. Edited December 16, 2022 by Voodooman 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priority is still clearance at changi airport where the more important tourist will come in and out. At the land check points it’s mainly citizens of both side. who cares! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing much there these days except the cool weather. I have given up on the 2 mountain resorts, unrestrained development over the years have totally killed off the charm of both places.

I understand Genting is cool most times of the year, so giving up the rainy season sounds reasonable. For me, driving up and down when the road is wet is the most fun part… I know, I’m a bit of an idiot, hahaha… 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
