  oh yeah
  
  That means Woodlands that lorry lane gonna be freed up for cars?

  only the road, not the checkpoint.. infrastructure is for lorries, cannot clear cars there...
  
  i think the staff will either be shipped to tuas for the duration or redeployed to clear cars..

  heck with the likely GST hike, cig would likely go up by 20c per pack with the GST revision, which might mean more smuggling activities...

• the Bear

  30 Jan 07, 21:07

  that one is agency work.. we're looking out for security items, those cigs and other stuff, is incidental
