Singapore's surging currency is contributing to massive traffic jams on the road to Malaysia.

Keen to take advantage of a record high exchange rate, Singaporean bargain hunters are streaming into the neighbouring nation to snap up goods and take advantage of more reasonably priced entertainment and services like health care.

The result is snarl-ups of up to four hours at border checkpoints between the city-state and Malaysia’s southern state of Johor. In normal circumstances, the journey takes only 20 minutes.

It’s gotten so bad that Singapore’s Immigration & Checkpoints Authority issues regular congestion updates on the radio and advised people to cancel travel plans during recent holidays. Frustrated travelers have taken to social media, recording road rage incidents — including a woman pulling off another car’s license plate — while others are making Tiktok videos about the wait at immigration.

Malaysians earn our money but curse us at the same time. Yet we lack the spine to resist going there, all for the sake of saving a measly amount. No wonder every election PAP just need to throw a few carrots to stay in power.
