Hmm...

You can't see the train at JB Sentral by the platform. Even if you tagged a station master going into the platform, the BSI guys will always harassing you endlessly since they have eyes everywhere, natural or mechanical optics, hehehe...!

Yang tak seronoknya....

ada pesta minum arak pulak dkt stesen tu...aku rasa dari puak yang menyokong penutupan Tg Pagar...sbb kebanyakkannya muka penjajah.

A funny twist to Last Train

I believe many railway fans did not know a bunch of Singaporeans (including me) got detained at Woodlands CIQ by Spore CIQ personnel after we embarked from Sultan's trainfor passport clearance.

We were questioned on why our passports did not have Malaysian CIQ endorement inside our passport. Before June 30, those who took train at Tg Pagar had to go thru Malaysian CIQ at Platform 2 remember?

We were late released and did not proceed to JB Sentral as originally planned.

Detained

Sorry but I don't understand why you were detained. If you had registered, you would have gotten off at Woodlands without a hitch, just like the rest of us did. Did you get on the train without permission?

CIQ checks at Tg Pagar

should still be carried out and the arrival card (stamped) given by Malaysian authorities to non-Malaysians as it was still 30 June when the last train departed, right?

The SGP CIQ officers at Woodlands CIQ could have liaised with the Malaysian counterparts (shouldn't they) of this final arrangement?

MY CIQ terminal early shutdown

The other possibility is that the Malaysian CIQ counters (at Tg Pagar) had shutdown earlier than usual?

Arrival cards were possibly not issued (the arrangement prior to 1st July, is to issue them and date stamped to non-Malaysian) as this group embarked the train at Tg Pagar.

If my points were correct, the SGP CIQ officers did what was required for those Singaporeans at the Woodlands CIQ terminal, after the stroke of midnight. Technically, they are right.

I felt sorry for those (detained?).
