Travellers heading to Malaysia ready to face Causeway jam, first time celebrating CNY there since Covid
SINGAPORE — Those who are planning to drive up north for Chinese New Year are prepared for long traffic jams on the Causeway, with some planning to stock up on snacks and making sure they do not drink too much water before the ride.
Most of the travellers TODAY spoke to will be heading to Malaysia to meet family members and celebrate Chinese New Year. This will be the first time in a few years that they are able to travel to Malaysia, after the country lifted Covid travel restrictions last year. “My mum told us to wear adult diapers! But I don’t want to do that. I will just try not to drink too much water before we go,” said Ms Tan Leh Ying, 25, who will be visiting her grandmother at a town in Johor with her parents and sibling.
“I don’t have a fixed route, whether to go via Woodlands or Tuas, but we usually make it a point to have a last stop at the nearest petrol station and get what we need before heading to the customs,” said the 31-year-old.A lady who wanted to be known as Ms Henny said her family would leave in the afternoon as based on their past experiences, there would usually be almost no traffic jam during that timing.
Mr Derick Tee, who is leaving on Friday with his family to visit their hometown in Muar, said that he would avoid driving at midnight as traffic would usually be heavy during those hours. While she is anticipating the queue at the customs to take about two hours to clear, she is undeterred as this is the first time that she will be celebrating Chinese New Year with her grandmother since Covid started.
