Vomit and die Singaporeans in Johor are often regarded as tense and impatient. This may be sometimes true, but my experience at a Singapore branch of its own bank in JB might explain why even the most accommodating of people can begin to frazzle. It began with a bank draft being issued to...

For investors in Iskandar and anywhere else in Johor: www.puterim.com Pushing bilateral cooperation INSIGHT DOWN SOUTH BY SEAH CHIANG NEE Overcrowded and expensive Singapore lacks the space for business and fun, and this is where the Iskandar development in neighbouring Johor can cash in. There...

Take heart. There are a surprising number of people who go out of their way and spend more than they should to make up for the deliberately cruel acts perpetrated on cats, dogs and birds - and their owners and their children who mourn. One wonders what sort of soul is being mangled in the...

We have a friend who bought 30 Ramli burgers for his daughter's birthday party. He was caught with it, had to throw it into the same bin and endured a lecture, and .... after 14 days, got a summons for $500 or $800 -can't remember the exact figure - for what he did. NOT a wealthy man who was...

The Big Fear of the many animal loving groups is what has happened: the AVA has instituted this new regulation without educating pet owners and other residents about responsible pet ownership. This involves proper care of the pet which is not a disposable toy and requires...

Personal opinion: the best south Indian food we have found is at Novenna's in distant Saleng. Exceptional. Closer to 'home' is the 24/7, the Syeed on the corner of the block that houses Maybank has excellent naans, of which we prefer the garlic naan, studded with bits of garlic, in case you...

When the live firing is on, lots of noise in bursts. Sometimes when they use the heavy stuff, yes we can actually feel the vibrations. Cilaka. Singapore training.

PLEASE MAKE UP A PARTY AND SUPPORT NOAH’S ARK’s DINNER on November 13 at the renewed Straits View Hotel along the seafront, next to the old Macinta. Music from Vernon Cornelius and band from Singapore, so improper singalongs will be encouraged. Good 8 course Chinese dinner @ RM1000 per table –...

Not for hot water piping. More expensive of course, but really no choice.

For those who are able to meditate peacefully while a mosquito is feasting - yes, you have transcended many human weaknesses on a correct path to enlightenment. But for the rest of us, mosquitoes are a risk of terminal diseases. The possibility of dengue or of malaria is real and children and...

I would be grateful to know a professional opinion. Our second of two contractors who constructed this told us that when there is a significant drop or rise in temperature the metal would contract/expand and would make loud 'ping' noises noticeably, and advised against having it. Is anybody able...

Living in JB fans, I am trying to ascertain whether anyone used this info and actually went to check out the Impiana. Please let me know if you did ... personal favour ... as I would like the Nusajaya people to know this post and my weblog at puterim.com is actually read and sometimes...

We took someone down today, on our way out to Singapore. The whole thing took less than 20 minutes - a Godsend, considering last year we had to leave our passports overnight with the Danga bay office.

mmm ... 'should' ... The reality is that this has never been encouraged. In schools today, this is offered only to secondary school students who have done well in two other langauges. Prior to the 1980s, bazaar Malay was happily used by most people, it being such an easy language to learn and...

Yes, also possible at Tuas, and probably fewer people applying as well. No need to prove you go in 4 times a month any more.RM$30, and annually renewable.

Can you wait for three years? THE IMPIANA'S LAUNCH IS SUNDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER ... tentative name was The Crescent Saw the three show flats yesterday ... certainly worth a visit - can you believe they already have 15 cheques for a full 10% down already? Both Malaysian and Singaporean...

Just as we are settling in some peace, I got this in an email from a kind but frightened Singaporean. It's filmed in an Indian makan shop in Shah Alam, Selangor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG4EPKm4uaU&feature=youtube_gdata_player It appears that laptops/mobile phones/cash/jewellery are...
