The junior staff were faulted for allowing some people to slip through. It is a systemic issue and those on top should take the blame for under-designing and under-staffing the checkpoints. From these incidents, it is tougher to recruit immigration officers.

Cuts both way.
I kinda agree. There has to have some incentive for Singapore to ease the flow of traffic.
But this rate the outflow of capital looks to be pretty severe.
So many Singaporeans pouring money into properties over the Causeway.

Yes its the exam period. Traditionally no jam for these 2-3 weeks. Even Labour day is congestion free. Try in 2 weeks time and you will see the horrible jams back from mid May to early July.

Why so secretive? The profits from the sale must be too high to resist.

Wow! Not even at a stroke of a pen.... Malaysia Boleh!
if i'm the owner and the price of land shooting up, i also sure tear down. why? becos if becomes conservation building, likely i have to fork out money to rebuild and maintain it! so tear down, problem solved. yes, it's sad, but i can see it from the point of view of the owners. :(
btw, they didn't do anything wrong. the building not conserved yet, it's private land, so they demolish it
If gazetted to be heritage building wouldn't the Govt bear the cost of rebuilding and maintaining the building?
Too bad. But But least old and decrepit has no place in the pursuit of progress in Johor apparently. LKY would have been proud. Haha.

frankly, i don't know how it work in malaysia as had nobody i know been through it. but knowing state govt, i would say with 99% certainty the house owners would have to fork out quite a sum, and probably cannot sell it? bcos of location land price has probly gone up, it's a rather big plot too. the house itself is decrepit. likely owners have to spend money to chase vagrants/drug users out, secure it, repaint, do structural integrity check.. etc etc. in the mean time cannot sell it due to uncertainty ofthe gazzetingprocess etc etc. big headache. idealism always turns to pragmatism when a lot of money is involved

It the market flow issue.
When i can get something which is 3x cheaper there then in Singapore. Naturally, i spend my money there. Look at the WP work holders who brave Jams day in day out, why are they doing this ? Reason is because they can earn 3X more salary here in Singapore then in JB itself easily.
An experience clerk in JB earn around 1800RM. Why should they not travel here to work when a fresh out of school clerk can easily command $1400 singkie dollar per month ? Only thing is that the outflow of Capital greater then inflow of capital.

Today Woodlands very cui, I experienced what this person did.
http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/s...irly-at-woodlands-checkpoint-compared-to-cars
Reached Singapore checkpoint at 6.10am, normally a 20min customs clearance, but that officer refuse to let me pass him and diverted me to a bottlenecked area. But less than 5 seconds after I looked back he opened up for the "late comers" to enter. I end up spending 1hr20min inching my bike through the jam-packed bike area, late for work by 30min, pay $2 for 2 ERP. ICA super inefficient and ineffective!

Gone are the happier days when 1030am - 5pm used to be jam-free on both sides of the causeway on weekends. A jam that time is rare. Now, no jam is rare.
