In celebrating the occasion, ICA commanders from the Woodlands and Tuas Checkpoints presented two cakes to the staff at Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) Complex and Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB).

ICA also shared that this gesture is an annual tradition that they practice.

Finally, they noted that they look forward to continuing a strong partnership with their Malaysian counterparts.

They hope that this partnership will continue to facilitate trade and safe travels at the land border.
