Singapore, on the other hand, has six scanners for lorries entering the island republic. He explained that the present scanners at the land checkpoint of the Second Link were operating around the clock to prevent cross-border smuggling activities. Mohamad Fazli, who is the state works, transportation, infrastructure and communications committee chairman, said the scanning of lorries had been conducted since the start of the Second Link in 1998. On Feb 13, The Star reported that some 3,000 lorries face traffic snarl each day, sometimes up to six hours, just to pass through the Second Link. According to Mohamad Fazli, not all lorries were required to park at the holding bay.
