ABU DHABI (Reuters) -Formula One world champion Max Verstappen will serve a penalty for swearing when he visits Rwanda next week to collect his winner's trophy, the governing FIA said on Sunday.

Traffic jam: Long lines of people waiting at the bus arrival and exit halls at BSI in Johor Baru after all the autogates failed due to a technical glitch .

It is learnt that at least 42 autogates at the entry and exit areas of the bus halls at BSI had been down since 12.30pm yesterday, forcing people to clear immigration manually. “This has never happened before at the JB CIQ, and it comes at the worst time, especially on a Sunday with a huge number of people, including Singaporeans, coming in for the long school holidays.

“We were also informed that immigration has redeployed its manpower to all the manual counters to help clear the crowd,” the official added.However, the glitch has not affected immigration clearance for cars, motorcycles and heavy vehicles.The official said it was time for BSI management to have a proper backup system to address such issues, as it is bad if all the autogates fail at the same time, causing chaos at the checkpoint.
