Juin Teh’s Harrowing Experience Walking Across The Causeway From SG To JB May Make You Think Twice About Doing The Same

However, there came a point in the journey where she had to cross the wide roads at the Causeway to get to the JB checkpoint.

But it proved to be a nerve-wracking experience, especially at peak hour, as vehicles were speeding past pedestrians at close range and honking as they went by. 

In the video she shared, she was seen with a group of people, all lined up in a single file on the narrow road shoulder, waiting for an opportune time to cross the road. “It’s so scary!” Juin repeatedly exclaimed.

Juin hesitated for a few moments, unsure when to cross, and eventually followed other pedestrians’ cue and managed to cross the motorcycle lane first. She presumably made it across the rest of the regular car lanes eventually, though she did not film this (and rightly so).

According to Juin, she has walked across the Causeway before, and regularly too, though she does it early in the morning at 5am when traffic is light. 

For those considering doing the same, walking across the Causeway with luggage or strollers is not recommended, as pedestrian infrastructure along certain stretches remains incomplete. Pedestrians are also advised to be extra cautious of their safety.

Many netizens commented on how dangerous the situation appeared, urging her to stay safe. She echoed the sentiment, reminding her followers to “go out happily, and return home safely”.

One netizen chimed in with a reminder: “Very soon, you’ll be able to take the train.”
