Recently, traffic in Singapore has been a nightmare due to unexpected jams.
You might think it’s because of the unpredictable weather, with constant rain in the first half of January, or perhaps the recent Chinese New Year holidays.
However, the real reason for the recent traffic chaos wasn’t any of those.
