The Johor - Singapore causeway

This photo doesn't need annotation as there are only a couple of things of interest. The year would have been 1966. I definitely took this photo from the LH window as my father would have been driving.

We are on the causeway between Singapore and peninsula Malaysia. Singapore had left Malaysia in August 1965 so this was a border checkpoint.

The lorry has Johor plates, as the ID starts with J. The A refers to the class of load allowed.

On the top of the building, which is on the Malaysia side, you can see the Singapore and Malaysian flags. The slogan in front reads GUNAKAN-LAH BAHASA KEBANGSAAN (use the national language), as Malaysia was in the process of phasing out English.

Customs and border formalities were conducted at the Malaysian side. Here is another shot, from an earlier trip, showing the customs inspection benches. That may be my sister and father in the middle of the picture.
