If you are thinking of heading across Woodlands or Tuas checkpoints during the upcoming Hari Raya Haji (May 27), Vesak Day (June 1) long weekend and the June school holidays, be prepared for “very heavy traffic”.
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) on Friday (May 22) advised motorists to expect heavy traffic at both checkpoints from 26 May to 28 June 2026, adding that security checks have also been stepped up since Feb 28 in light of the heightened global security environment.
