Now still not jam could be due to many people still waiting for their passport?! Lol.

Maybe also partly due to the malaysian workers (work pass n PR) being locked into tenancy contract n need to serve out notice period? Once over, they will go back to stay in their JB house and travel in daily.

I would think VEP for Malaysian vehicles not fully approved too. Not sure if LTA check outstanding fines before approving.

And it only Singaporean that going out that cannot travel. Those incoming is the reason the economy going to boom. Or am I missing the big picture.

ICA would have been pre alerted that the doors were going to be open. Yet there was no encouragement of getting the passport renewed. Now it’s an avalanche of Ass port renewal that will take them month of work to clear .

infact, when you dial 6391 6100 to speak to ICA, the line it taken off the hook as early as 8.05am

CNA should do a article on how the stress and overwork at ICA after the covid has lifted vs the workload during the covid on the passport section

If there is no new covid variant, should not have any spike in critical cases or much changes to the current covid situation.

There was a hint of delta cron previously.. I supposed it never got cross over to SG

[Mehaha]

Any idea if our guys are diligently checking petrol levels at both customs?
