Malaysian Driver Banned From Entering Singapore After Cutting Queue On Causeway
Drivers cutting queues on the Causeway and Tuas Second Link have been known to cause trouble to others every now and then.
So much so that this group was once called out for showing “little respect” for other road users.
Last weekend, a Malaysian driver was filmed driving dangerously and attempting to cut a queue on the Causeway.

The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) has since taken action, banning the driver and vehicle in question from entering Singapore.

According to the traffic Facebook page, the lane is reserved for buses and lorries.
Indeed, an AC7 cross-border bus was seen stopping behind the black MPV shortly after.
Officers in black attempted to block the car’s path, but the driver somehow found a way to squeeze through the safety cones.

ICA bans driver & vehicle from entering Singapore
In response to MS News‘Â queries, an ICA spokesperson said it is aware of the incident on 10 June and has since identified the vehicle’s driver.
The auxiliary police officers in the video had reportedly instructed the driver to make a U-turn back to Singapore.
However, the driver failed to heed the instructions and continued driving forward dangerously.
In light of the transgressions, ICA has banned the driver and vehicle from entering Singapore.
A police report has also been lodged, and investigations are currently ongoing.
“ICA would like to reiterate that we do not condone the behaviour of errant motorists who deliberately disobey traffic rules. Such acts pose a safety hazard to officers and other checkpoint users and put them at risk,” said the spokesperson.
Enforcement actions will be taken against motorists who are caught cutting queues.
