From boarding BUS at Boon Lay to reaching Genting …. About 12 hours.

Started from Boon Lay at 7.15 am. About 4 hours was spent on the 2nd link jam. The other delays were due to heavier traffic along the way.

 

 

On return to 2nd link (9 Aug night) the MY immigration did not scan the passports on their computer, just visual check. On SG side, an additional lane was opened for buses/vans …. Otherwise the bus queue would definitely stretch to the top of the bridge. They definitely posted more people for faster clearance.

the jam is at msia custom ... you dont see it

each time when i was reaching spore, i see woodland and tuas (especially) sibei clear sibei happy

And to add to this.. Queue cutting has been rampant.

Not sure this time they deploy cops like in the past, my experience during the June holidays was rather frustrating as there wasn't anyone managing the traffic

Don't scan it's fine.. Important is to make sure they stamp the passport.. to avoid doing naked squats lol!

Will the car run out of fuel in a 5 hrs jam?

Actually I wonder those cars with auto engine off feature.. Will they run out of battery if they blast the air con while the engine is off?

I rented a VW Polo with that feature when in France recently.

 

It is the most useless feature possible, imo and annoyingly cut off the engine when coasting into a roundabout.

I found it dangerous as it sometimes cut the engine when I was slowing but not intending to stop and it worried me that following cars would bump into me as they were expecting me to carry on.

 

Of course as well as a drain on battery power with continuous on/off when in jam I dunno how it works with air con.

For those cars with automatic start/stop, the car batt is of larger capacity compared to normal cars thus it allows the car to run longer from its battery. Also these cars have computers and circuitry to monitor battery levels, car engine will kick in when battery level is low.

 

Don't think there is anything to worry about, but I am surprise to know BlueMotion (VW) kicks in even when car is running? From my understanding most cars automatic start/stop only switch off ignition when car is on stand-still

No way battery will be drained under normal circumstances. It needs AGM battery.

 

No way will it cut-off engine unless engage neutral gear & leg off clutch pedal.

Most of the time it's the Malaysia custom that cause the jam.

But when you go in, sure jam. Muffin Law. [laugh]

That's the law that says must buy Darryn a banana chocolate chip muffin right?

 

Murphy ' s law says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong and that the chances of a slice of buttered bread falling butter side down are directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.

Yesterday we came back in 3 groups.... reach sg 10am, 1pm and 5pm respectively each claiming the others will be caught in the mother of all jams. Turned out very smooth traffic at all those times.

 

Dont tell me everyone went out one way ticket?

Is 50/50.

Like what I mention in another thread. This is very common at custom.

If you reaction too slow LL have to give way.

There's nothing to get angry.
