About three-quarters of the record 245 million travellers who crossed Singapore’s checkpoints last year went via the land border
Nearly every Sunday, consultant Toh Jia Jie and his wife leave their new flat in Singapore and drive north across the border to Johor for a day of cheaper shopping, pickleball and massages before returning past midnight on Monday morning.
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said on Monday that figure represented a 6.3 per cent increase – about 14 million more travellers – compared with 2024.
ICA said it cleared almost 84.8 million vehicles last year, an increase of 9.5 per cent, or about 7 million more than in 2024.
