Better avoid JB for the festive season

I was visiting JB & I noticed the large crowds at the Kranji MRT station, & on the way back at the bus stop at the CIQ complex in JB. Although it was a week day the queues were much, much longer:eek: Saw many kids so it is not just the normal Malaysian worker crowds but also Spore shoppers.

Can't really blame people for heading to JB, but if you dislike crowds you might want to wait until after Xmas to visit the place.


The new Komptar Mall which is next to the City Mall has opened. Saw some well known shops like Marks & Spencer, Tony Roma, another KFC ... etc Many new shops have yet to open. The food court is open but currently still has plenty of vacancies. There is also a new Supermarket there operated by Kapitan Mart. The same air bridge that connects the CIQ Complex to the City Mall also connects to the Komptar Mall

Not familiar with the shopping scene there. Only really go there to eat & window shop.

Have noticed a lot of construction activity there. There is something under construction opposite which used to be a parking lot. They must realize that there are many Sporeans that don't drive or making it easier for them to find these stores.

JB has been infected by the Sinkie inflation, overcrowding and materialism.

Go to Malacca instead. UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Hatten Hotel is expensive. Go for those boutique hotels nearby. Some of them are newly built.

Try to avoid those old and very cheap-looking hotels and guesthouses, there's a risk of bedbugs and unpleasant leftovers from the previous guest.

It's still a great place to go but not for me who don't like crowds. If I had known how busy it was, I would have postponed my visit until after the Xmas holidays & school holidays.
It's probably the same problem with people flying off for their Xmas holidays. A bad time to be traveling.

The queues for buses were 2 to 3 times longer than the norm. This was on a weekday & I can only imagine how much worst it would be on weekends:eek:

Was running some errands & saw the long queues at the money changers. The rate was SNG$1 to RM$2.62. It is a good time to get ringgit but if you go to Malaysia now expect large crowds.

Its best to avoid JB totally. That place is a crime hub. Whenever I used to drive to JB, I felt unsafe and on edge all the time. I was even uneasy going to the loo at the gas station.

The only news that comes from JB is a steady stream of reports of theft, robbery and violent crime. Its best to avoid going there altogether.
