A clip posted on 31 August 2024 shows a dense crowd filling the Johor Bahru immigration hall. Text on the video says the scene was recorded after a three-hour wait at customs.
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority had warned of continuous heavy traffic at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints from 30 August to 8 September, covering the school holiday period.
ICA advised travellers to allow more time for immigration clearance and check traffic conditions before setting off. The video records one traveller's experience during that holiday rush.
