In 2023, Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) thwarted over 43,000 attempts to smuggle contraband through its air, land, and sea checkpoints. A major hub like Woodlands Checkpoint served as a frontline defense, where officers—like Belinda—used keen observation, profiling techniques, and advanced technology to identify and stop suspicious vehicles.
About the Show
Woodlands Checkpoint is one of Singapore’s two land checkpoints connecting ground traffic with Malaysia. Clearing several hundred thousand travellers a day, it is one of the world’s busiest checkpoints. Human traffic, comprising visitors and workers, as well as cargo traffic, carrying all kinds of goods, pass through the checkpoint. And that volume is expected to increase by a third by 2050.
