Merdeka Day: Singapore Immigration officers present their Malaysian counterparts with cake, cupcakes

TO commemorate Malaysia's 68th National Day celebrations, Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) commanders from Woodlands and Tuas Checkpoints presented a cake to their counterparts from the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) and Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) CIQ.

Along with the cake, they also presented 68 cupcakes, each adorned with the number “68”.

In an official Facebook posting, the ICA expressed gratitude for the close ties between the two nations.

"We are thankful for the strong partnership as we work together to keep our borders secure.

"We look forward to continued collaboration and ensuring smooth trade and safe travels between our land borders! Happy 68th Birthday, Malaysia!," read the post.

Earlier this month, Malaysian immigration officers also presented a cake to Singapore's ICA officers to mark Singapore's 60th year of independence on Aug 9. - August 31, 2025
