Traffic jam at Causeway, Second Link as Singapore begins clampdown on vehicles with unpaid fines

JOHOR BARU - Congestion at the Causeway and Tuas Checkpoint was worse than usual on Monday , the first day Singapore began a clampdown on all foreign vehicles with outstanding fines.

Among them was Ms Kathleen Ann Kili, 28, who said that the congestion at the Tuas Checkpoint was much worse because drivers stopped to pay their fines - which they had incurred for traffic, parking or vehicular emission violations - while some were denied entry to Singapore and forced to turn back. "People usually go around 5am to catch the first bus and avoid the rush, but what I have experienced is beyond words, because more people are opting to use buses," she added.

it's easy to blame the authorities. The blame goes to errant motorists who failed to pay their fines.

Poor planning!
