"This facility expedites the immigration inspection process at entry points of both countries, and with this facility, FTF users need only obtain passport verification, once every three months." He said this was because, verification and entry or exit activities were recorded electronically, using biometric fingerprints which did not require them to fill out disembarkation forms.Malaysia had some real growing pains with the biometric border checks with Singapore (lots of posts here). The fact that the news media in Singapore has been largely silent on the subject lately leads me to assume that those growing pains have largely subsided. That Malaysia is considering a re-run with Brunei reinforces the belief that (a) Malaysia is confident that it can apply the lessons it learned with Singapore to its border with Brunei and (b) there were gains associated with the biometric installation at the Singapore border that makes extending its use to Bth border with Brunei desirable.
This post (Malaysia Expands Biometric Automated Clearance System) has maps covering Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei and a picture of a major Malaysia-Singapore border crossing.
