Thorough inspection at the Woodlands Immigration Checkpoint
-
Anyone here has been asked to park their car at the side and get their cars thoroughly inspected before entering Singapore?
I think the security measures were stepped up due to the increased numbers of cars smuggling cigarettes and all those nonsense. However, innocent motorists like us have to bear the brunt of it and wasted our precious time having to answer numerous questions. -
Are you a frequent Malaysian traveller?? Or driving a reduced COE cars... There was once that I was being asked to pull to the side for a total of two times in a week.... The check will not take more than 10 mins... Just let them do their job.
-
they dont do thorough search at custom one lah.
mostly all wayang wayang only. this is what i feels.
top management give them pressure so bo bian lor. do some show give them see. live with it man. -
been asked to park for quite a few times ... caught my friend bringing ciggies in also will give chance .. so is it thorough ???
-
if you only knew, you'd be thanking God we're doing so...
but then, i can't say more
just be glad it's your "time wasted"
some people don't know how lucky they are... seriously... -

If the items are too few no point also.... -
I frequent JB at least once a week for the past one and a half year but has never been pulled over to do thorough inspection.
I wonder what they look out for before they pull you over? -

Hi Bro,Originally posted by nick34:been asked to park for quite a few times ... caught my friend bringing ciggies in also will give chance .. so is it thorough ???
The trouble with members of public when got caught and been letting go off freely by officers there, they tend to make the whole world know. This is bad for the officer who "give us chance". I would keep my mouth shut and would never reveal to anyone if been in such situation.
CHEERS! -
if this "inspection" really happens, normally the custom officers would have the info before hand de. they have informants in JB and if they had spotted you smuggling in contraband stuff, the custom side will ask you go one side park and said..
"Everything out!" like in army de time. LOL.
10 mins is ok liao loh. imagine you need to everything out. that would take at least 1 hour.
-
yes i do agree with you that is not to tell others about it ... but I do think that it's fine to let others know about how our officers work ... nevertheless ... they did a great job guarding our borders ...Originally posted by mn dreamer:Hi Bro,

haha I kanna before.
And worse, all the 5 of us were discovered to be carrying a pack of unopened cigarettes each. Same brand somemore.
Wah I tell you, it's a sweating experience man!
But in the end the ICA officer very nice, gave us the benefit of doubt (and stern warning!). But he made a record of our passports, though.
Next time don dare liao. -
My friend kena pull over for a black plastic bag at tuas side before and spent 1 hour clearing it.
so please do not bring black plastic bag or else some goody old officer with some dumb stars on his shoulder thinks he had hit the jackpot and ask his side kick to pull you over.
The sides kick had a puzzling time searching all over the car but found nothing and even had to body search my friend. Last question was that he ask why my friend where he got the black plastic bag? When he told me about it I felt, that it was very cute and start lol. We just cannot believe what happen. -
Just cooperate with the Custom & Immigartions. It won't take long. Dun argue. You should be glad it was never for any corrupt purpose.
My father fd was stopped once in another country. He asked too many question "why this why that why me?". They subjected him to an anal probe. -
Hmmm... Think those people driving Renault Scenic or Chrysler Grand Voyager can smuggle things like chewing gum, DVDs, computer softwares, etc. more successfully because they are able to store those stuff under their seat and on the floor itself.. haha.. Then again, dunno if any of those custom officers will note down such cars with 'secret' compartments like this to conduct a more thorough search on them..
