Jam at jb customs at woodlands checkpoint

[Nightkids]

They came out because they could not view all the passenger properly thru their window. Otherwise they no need to do so.

 

They are still practicing this procedure. I don't think it will add to the jam cos they don't take long to check the headcount.

 

 

Ya lo, nowadayslack till like charcoal....cannot see inside properly

[WTF]

Wayang one lah... Give them another month and you see of they still come out or not...

 

Maybe their occifer is beoing them?

1st time abt 3 mths ago I kena this was a Cpl coming out from the booth with 1 Insp & 1 ASP inside the booth. We thought wayang only.

 

Then the next few visit also got come out and only once don't have when we have only 1 passenger and 1 driver.

 

Then my last visit the officer comes out every time for every car........

I usually open front+rear windows, turn on interior lights and open sunroof blind for more light at both sides immigration and customs clearance, so far so good never encounter any problems.

Came back this afternoon and jam was horrible towards SG checkpoint.

Those damn lorries crossing passenger cars' lanes. If not for them, I think it wouldn't be that bad.

The closing of car lanes for them for sometime each time causes vehicles to build up.

malaysia boleh! good luck to those buy property there thinking of commuting back here... maybe buy helicopter better

Maybe that is the reason, ICA is in cahoots with the property developers in SG??

The lorries does contribute to the jam, in one way. Last week I was coming back at noon, 2 lorries (pulling trailers) keep cut in & out of car lanes to overtake stationary lorries parked on the extreme right. I think without them sure can cut down at least 30mins!

 

Probably weekends will be better as I observed before there were lesser or no lorries at all on a Sat/Sun.

I was cut by a factory bus from the lorry lane when I came back last week. It cause me to e-brake to avoid the bus when it turned out suddenly without signal......

Why not use 2nd link at Tuas , save the jam . Work out to be the same cost if you consider time and gas wasted on the jam.

My friends once thought of that too on his way to Melaka and he got jammed at Tuas checkpoint for ard 5 hrs.........his wife vomited and baby kept crying during the whole episode..........

[Ruzmidah]

Tuas jam is very unpredictable. If u get stuck, can get stuck for hrs due to the design and less counters. The malaysia side even worse.

 

Woodlands more predictable.
