JB Police Conducted Operation Near JB Customs Against Drivers Who Cut Queue

There are two rules you should always follow when you’re taking a trip to JB. First, shop till you drop. Second, don’t cut the queue at the JB customs.

The JB police conducted an operation near the JB customs this week to saman drivers caught cutting the queue.

JB Police Conduct Operation at JB Customs to Tackle Queue-Cutting Problem

On Thursday (15 June), officers from the South Johor Bahru District Police Headquarters conducted an operation on the roads leading up to the JB customs.

The operation was called Operation “Potong Q”, otherwise known as the “Cut Queue Operation”.

Yes, you read that right. The operation is literally named “Cut Queue Operation”. How creative.

According to a Facebook post made by the JB police, the operation was launched given the extensive queue cutting occurring at the JB customs.

Those who frequently travel up to JB for our lok lok fixes or to “pump Shell” are no strangers to this queue-cutting problem. Hours spent at the checkpoints are made even longer and even more sian, thanks to queue jumpers.

On Wednesday (14 June), we even saw a driver resorting to moving the barricades placed along the causeway so that they could cut the queue.

This driver wasn’t the only one with such a bright idea. Another driver was caught deploying the same method to jump the queue on the same day.

Relax lah. Keijometo isn’t going anywhere.

Fortunately, the JB police’s “Cut Queue Operation” might be the fix to the queue-cutting problem at the JB customs.

26 Travellers “Tio Saman” During JB Police Operation

During the JB police’s three-hour-long operation, not one, not two, but 26 vehicles were inspected by the JB police. 30 individuals were questioned.

But here’s the most important statistic: 26 travellers were fined.

Of these 26 summons issued, 11 were for cutting queues, while the rest were for other unspecified offences.

If only the two barricade movers were caught during this operation… We wonder if they’ll be given a discount on the saman for their creativity.

The Crackdown on Queue Jumpers at JB Customs

If the JB police operation isn’t enough to deter you from cutting the queue at JB customs, wait till you read about what else has been done to crack down on queue jumpers.

Let’s go through this in levels. If a saman is the level one punishment for queue jumpers, level two will be getting sent back to Singapore.

Earlier this month, the Johor Chief Minister shared that vehicles caught cutting the queue at JB customs will be directed back to Singapore.

Officers from the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) were even stationed at the JB customs to enforce this.

This one not play play one hor.

And it doesn’t just end here. At level three, you risk being banned from entering Singapore entirely—that’s what happened to a Malaysian driver caught cutting the queue on the causeway this week.

We wonder if the driver works in Singapore.

“Sorry boss, I can’t come to work tomorrow because I’ve been banned from entering Singapore.”

From police operations to straight-up entrance bans, it’s clear that queue jumpers no longer stand a chance.

If all else fails, we can trust in that one driver who left his car door open while queuing at the checkpoint—perhaps that’s what will prevent queue cutting.
