The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said in an advisory on Oct 13 that the longer waiting times at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints can also be due to its "intensified checks against" e-vaporisers.

During the school holidays from Sept 5 to Sept 15, over 5.8 million travellers crossed both land checkpoints.
