CUSTOMS areas in Johor Baru were filled with long queues and confused Singaporeans yesterday, about 48 hours after Malaysia began requiring all visitors to fill in embarkation cards.
Most people who spoke to The Straits Times said the requirement, which came into effect last Friday, had led to longer waits for visitors travelling across the Causeway.
Many were clustered around ledges, filling in their cards, which were available at a nearby counter. It was manned by Custom officials, who did not hand out the cards or inform travellers of the need for them. There was, however, a makeshift paper sign labelled 'white cards'.
