Call To Open More Immigration Counters At Kuala Lurah Border Post
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei's border post of Kuala Lurah has seen longer queues lately as travellers travelled to Limbang town and beyond for shopping or other purposes, causing many motorists to call for the opening of more immigration counters.

The extra counters would help save time and enable vehicles to pass through the post faster. "With upcoming festivities and holiday season next month, it is hoped that more counters can be opened to cater for the increasing number of vehicles and passengers at the border," they stated.

They added that it is now common to see vehicles travelling at excessive speed towards the border post especially on their way back in an effort to beat long queues at the counters.

"By opening more counters to relieve the increasingly common congestion, motorists need not drive fast or endanger people's lives," they said.

According to staff members at the border post of Kuala Lurah, as many as 600 vehicles pass through it, especially during weekends and public holidays. The number of vehicles during any weekday meanwhile could be as many as 300, they added. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
