Basically it's like a case of what seems to be Elitism at work.... GRL (1 bus load) who are fit and healthy breezing through while the rest (inc old and weak) who need to Q.

Frankly, it's damn stupid the customs did wad they did. They would have scored brownie points if they had kept the counter open and gave priority to the senior citizens and/or those with very young kids and/or those who have difficulty walkin etc.
The customs have been known to do that, subject to crowd and availability of custom officers (which in this case, since they CAN and DID open an extra counter for like 30 pax, they COULD have done the same for those in need).

That's normal, civil servants (if I am correct) also cannot make political comments regardless of party u support. No such thing as personal capacity as it is hard to distinguish between official and personal capacity.

at times, I also wonder comments and views expressed the social media via personal account by the elites are official statements or personal views

If one claims they are a VIP, know who and who, MAYBE immigration also don't want to offend. How to verify if the person is real VIP?
