A short trip across the Causeway turned out to be a nightmare for one man, who had his passport claimed by someone else. Huang Xunxing (transliteration), 45, told Shin Min Daily News he took a bus and arrived at Woodlands Checkpoint at about 9.15am on July 20. He was travelling to Johor Bahru to run some errands. He discovered that his passport was missing after alighting from the bus. As the bus had already left the checkpoint, Huang had to take another bus back to Woodlands bus interchange in the hopes of finding his passport. An SMRT staff member asked him to give them his contact details and said they would contact him if they found his passport. «In the meantime, I went home to check if I had dropped my passport at the bus stop. I returned to the bus interchange 15 minutes later and learnt that someone had claimed my passport. »The person who collected my passport had a Malay name, and he didn't respond when I tried to contact him using the phone number he wrote on the form."
