Gridlock at Woodlands: Three-hour wait for JB-bound travellers today, says Singapore's ICA
SINGAPORE, June 21 — Travellers heading into Malaysia today are facing bumper-to-bumper delays, with Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) warning of a three-hour or longer wait at the Woodlands Checkpoint.
In a Facebook update at 8.15am, the ICA cited 'very heavy departure traffic' caused by a tailback from Malaysia.
The congestion has spilled beyond Exit 10A of the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE), causing significant delays for motorists.
With the June school holidays drawing to a close on June 29, authorities expect heavy traffic at both Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints to continue, particularly over the weekends.
Motorists were also reminded to follow traffic rules.
Earlier this month, the ICA said drivers caught jumping the queue will be ordered to make a U-turn to rejoin the back. Repeat offenders risk being blacklisted and could face disciplinary action.
The ICA continues to urge travellers to plan ahead, check real-time traffic updates, and remain patient amid the expected congestion.

Palm oil, tourism and halal goods drive Malaysia's trade optimism with Uzbekistan, says envoy
TASHKENT, June 21 — Malaysia is optimistic about a potential increase in bilateral trade with Uzbekistan, as both countries work to deepen cooperation in new areas such as halal certification, Islamic finance, tourism, and green technology. In an interview with Bernama and RTM, here, Malaysian Ambassador to Uzbekistan Ilham Tuah Illias acknowledged a recent drop in trade volume, mainly due to import tax on palm oil. However, he expressed confidence in a potential turnaround. 'We are hopeful that trade will pick up, if both governments can agree to waive or continue waiving the (import) tax on Malaysian palm oil. This would enable Uzbek retailers here to resume sourcing their palm oil supply from Malaysia,' he said. In 2024, Malaysia–Uzbekistan trade reached RM369.8 million (US$80.9 million), making Uzbekistan Malaysia's second-largest trading partner in Central Asia. The trade balance was in Malaysia's favour at RM360.3 million (US$78.9 million). From January to April 2025, bilateral trade between both countries reached RM106 million (US$25 million). Major exports from Malaysia to Uzbekistan include palm oil, coffee, palm-based oleochemical, margarine and shortening, processed food and coconut oil, while imports from Uzbekistan comprise mainly fertilisers, fruits and textiles. Ilham Tuah said the 5.0 per cent tax on Malaysian palm oil is being reconsidered by Uzbek authorities. A continued exemption could significantly boost Malaysia's exports. 'We hope this move will encourage Uzbek buyers to continue to source their supply from Malaysia. Discussions between the relevant authorities in both countries will be essential in finding a mutually beneficial solution,' he added. The ambassador also emphasised the importance of raising public awareness in Uzbekistan about the health benefits of palm oil. 'We must continue educating the Uzbek people about the nutritional value of palm oil and counter the negative narratives promoted by certain parties,' he added. On the tourism front, Ilham Tuah highlighted that over 15,000 Uzbek tourists visited Malaysia last year — a significant increase from previous years, driven by enhanced air connectivity, including direct flights by Batik Air and Uzbekistan Airways. 'This improved connectivity benefits not only tourists but also students from Uzbekistan. Many are drawn to Malaysia's beaches, as Uzbekistan is a landlocked country,' he explained. He also noted a growing interest among Malaysian travellers in Uzbekistan, particularly for spiritual tourism. 'Many Malaysians visit Uzbekistan particularly for spiritual reasons. They love to explore the Imam Al Bukhari Mausoleum, which is currently under renovation. Once completed, it is expected to become a favourite destination for Malaysians,' he added. He noted a strong interest in the Malaysian halal certification in Uzbekistan, adding that the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) has already signed a memorandum of understanding with the relevant Uzbek authorities to further strengthen cooperation in halal certification efforts. 'This collaboration will help local products meet Malaysian halal standards, potentially opening access to broader markets that recognise our certification,' he said. To facilitate smoother trade and investment, both countries are currently exploring the possibility of establishing a Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA). Ilham Tuah said with such a framework, Malaysia could send semi-finished goods for final processing in Uzbekistan, which has access to markets in the European Union and Eurasia. 'It's a win-win for both sides. Preferential trade agreement between Malaysia and Uzbekistan is something we are actively the relevant agencies of both countries should meet up to discuss and explore this further,' he added. Ilham Tuah also noted the growing demand in halal consumer goods and Muslimah fashion. 'Muslimah fashion is making a strong comeback here. So I encourage Malaysian women entrepreneurs to engage with their counterparts here. There is huge demand here for Muslimah fashion, cosmetics and halal products,' he concluded. — Bernama

KLIA Aerotrain to resume service for travellers on July 1, Transport Ministry announces
SEPANG, June 21 — The new Aerotrain service at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) will officially begin operations come July 1. Confirming service resumption next month, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said he is hopeful the latest development would allow a greater comfort for travelling passengers transiting between the main terminal and the satellite building. 'I am happy to announce that we are entering the final phase of testings in the coming days. 'If all goes smoothly, we have decided to reopen the train service at 10am on July 1,' he told a press conference after attending a trial-run at the KLIA Terminal 1 building here. The Aerotrain, a key component of KLIA's internal transport system since 1998, was suspended in March 2023 following a breakdown. The new Aerotrain system is expected to improve the passenger experience, reduce operational disruptions, and support the anticipated increase in air passenger traffic in the coming years.
