Can some one confirm that the new T2 has been built without a baggage system and that every bag is conveyored to T1 for containerizing??
Yes and no.

"Arriving baggage

Terminal 1's baggage system will process Terminal 2's departing and transfer baggage. To give passengers the reliability they expect, we're strengthening and upgrading the Terminal 1 baggage system so that it can handle Terminal 2 bags with ease. For example, we're replacing 17 of Terminal 1's hold-baggage screening machines.

Terminal 2's arriving baggage will be processed in Terminal 2. The spacious new baggage reclaim hall will contain eight international and two domestic carousels. They'll be easy to identify and easy to reach so that passengers can collect their bags for their onward journey.

The carousels will be installed during 2013, ready for passengers to use when it opens in 2014.

Departing baggage

In a later stage of development, we'll be building a new system for departing baggage in Terminal 2. This baggage system will incorporate new technologies to reduce manual handling and improve baggage delivery performance."
