On August 10, the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex in Johor Bharu wished its Singapore counterparts a happy National Day. The occasion marked the 61st National Day, celebrated on Sunday. AKPS BSI's post highlighted the enduring friendship, cooperation, and strong partnership between the teams on both sides of the border.
The agency emphasized the daily cooperation needed to facilitate smooth cross-border movement while maintaining security. Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) later reciprocated the gesture, thanking AKPS personnel from both Bangunan Sultan Iskandar and Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar for extending National Day greetings to officers at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints.
The ICA described the gestures as a reflection of the close cooperation between the two countries' checkpoint teams and expressed their commitment to continuing their partnership to keep borders safe and secure. AKPS assistant commander Vimala Ramalinggam led the Malaysian delegation, while AKPS deputy commander Azura Mohamed Kifli headed the Singapore contingent. Singapore celebrated its 61st National Day the previous day.
