If the smoke screen is out can I as the victim see anything too? Sounds good for me as I plan to drive up around Malaysia alone during CNY



Guys, be safe anyway.. People tend to get used to Sg way of living, remember to lock your door while pumping petrol. Hold firm to your belonging. I might as well intro myself. My company sells "smoke screen security system", it shoots out thick fog when the motion sensor or panic button is triggered. So the burglar can't see anything for a good 30minutes, and resort to escape. Contact me via whatsapp "+6583873806" if you need my service, thanks.

I heard that the half of the malays there in Kelantan study in Chinese schools! Not sure how true it is but it was reported in the papers. Its really good move. Kelantan can be quite "notorious " in the press for their "Islamic way of life " but the Chinese there are simply living it high up. The media tend to portray them as a hotbed of Terrorist teaching.

I am hoping to stay and look around in Kelantan during my Grand Slam Malaysia Tour 2016 CNY.

Are there any St Regis or Pan Pacific etc for me to book online? Does the people speak English?

I have tried part of that way to Kelantan as follows:-

Singapore to KL.
KL to Karak, Gambang, Pekan, Kuantan Pahang,
Kuantan to Cherating, Rantau Abang, Marang, Kuala Trengganu.
Kuala Trengganu to Tumpat, Kota Bahru, Kelantan.
Kota Bahru to Gerik, Ipoh, Perak. (very winding road certain stretch)
Ipoh to KL.
KL to Singapore.

It was quite an interesting trip.
The Kelantanese are keen to study Chinese so that they can work for Chinese bosses as they said that the pay is higher and they are being treated better as an employee.
In fact, we came across the locals speaking fluent Mandarin there.

The Thai influence in Tumpat is also amazing.

The people in Trengganu are very friendly and generous.

Overall, a good experience.

It is quite unfair for the Federal Government to leave Kelantan lagging behind other states as some of the roads only one single lane.

No idea about St Regis and Pan Pac. We stayed in Hotel Perdana, a 5 star hotel which is quite good. The people do speak English.

Damn it looks so grand. I was thinking of driving around Malaysia in 5-7 days and one of the spots I would like to venture will be Kelantan.

Fully agree. Also at present moment I travel in and out daily on weekdays.therefore it does not make sense for me to pledge a sum to obtain the mm2h. However to be honest I don't meet the requirement as well

My wife is Malaysian hence I only monitor myself. Haha

Wah wife Malaysian best, no need to buy above RM one million, right?

My colleague has a MY girlfriend who wants to be citizen in Singapore, I say what for? Malaysians earning SG dollars to bring home is best scenario.

Wasn't anticipate that when we tied the knot. Well nowadays property prices in decent district are over a million commonly so not much difference already.

True also, but still have landed properties below the minimum sum also. I have friends who would like to buy landed but put off by the minimum sum required.
