100% checks on departing vehicles will affect trade and travel, says ICA in response to fugitive couple escape

ICA told CNA that Singapore's land checkpoints are one of the busiest land crossings in the world. Before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, about 200,000 travellers departed daily, according to ICA.

"For example, enhanced checks will be conducted on departing conveyances in the aftermath of major security incidents to prevent the perpetrators from leaving Singapore."Explaining why all incoming vehicles are checked while not every outgoing one is, ICA said it takes an"arrival-centric approach" to border security.

ICA said that this is a common practice internationally, adding that it also helps to optimise resources.

Old days we had dogs sniffer ..

That lil too late?

Hmmm..... Singapura can invest in high-tech scanning for commercial vehicles. Of course no screening is perfect.

There will always be a reason for shortfalls.Just like if a student fails in his exams, there will always be plentiful of reasons but the question boils down than to accountability and priority doesn’t ? If there is no accountability, than priority will be skewed? Just my thots..

Security is more important. It won't affect trade much.
