Liquid Restrictions On Flight

From May 8, a new security measures will kick in @ Changi and Seletar airports which concern the carrying of liquids, aerosols and gels in hand luggage.
These items must be stored in containers with a maximum capacity of 100ml and the containers must be placed inside a transparent re-sealable plastic bag such as a ziploc bag with a capacity of not more than a litre.

Each passenger will be allowed only 1 plastic bag that must be presented separately for examinations at security screening counters at the boarding gate. If those above items are in containers larger than 100ml, they should be packed into check-in luggage.
Here are examples of such items not exceeding the limit : drinks (incl water and juices), soups, perfumes, lotions, balms oils, cosmetics such as mascara and lip gloss, toothpastes, gels,
contact lens .........
These new limits will NOT apply to essentials such as medication, baby food, and special dietary items. Passengers may carry the amounts they need for the duation of the flight. And they will be subjected to additional checks.

Aiya, why so troublesome. I believe female travellers will be the most inconvenienced by this new system. So ladies out there do take note esp i know of one that will be travelling soon.
'Plan' your hand luggage ............
