    It’s the start of the March school holidays, and many Singaporeans are headed for a quick getaway to Malaysia.

    Many, many Singaporeans.

    Complaints of unruly drivers

    A traveller complained that it took her two hours before she was within 1km of the Singapore Customs.

    However, she was frustrated by some unruly drivers who cut into the motorcyclist lane and “caused issue(s)”.

    In a later comment, she added that crossing the Malaysia side of the Causeway was much faster, stating: “Malaysia side is organised.. all keep in lane. Unlike Singapore..”
