Living in JB 3 (Johore)

Unfortunately seems the neighbour has offended another set of neighbours. Asking them on new years eve to move their vehicles as it was too near his cars. He could have told them nicely but the neighbours brother was offended by his insistence on moving their cars immediately even though their cars was actually on their own side.

Thxs Wuqi. Nice recommendations. Actually running out of places to go with family other than those usual shopping centres and Legoland within 20mins drive.

Btw, noticed more and more angmohs driving MY registered cars in SG. Damn tulan. Wonder whether they are working in SG while living in MY? So they can have this privilege but we Sgreans living in MY cannot?

Thats call smart. Pay-as--you-go COE. S$40k every 10 years instead of S$70k at current price. Citizens and PRs get screw big time on this.
On the other hand everyday safety is priceless in Singapore, isn't it?

Safety is indeed priceless but it's certainly not Guaranteed.
I dun think I need to highlight what's happened here back Home. LOL
It doesn't matter much where u are. Staying Vigilant is the Key.

Well said Eric! Don't matter where you are, be street smart don't flash your wealth.

I've got my cashcard stolen at a repair shop in AMK. It's my own fault not taking the safety precaution. I only find out when I'm at the Singapore custom. My wife is not a happy bunny.

Actually the pay-as-you-go COE is a bit higher than that. ($20/day x 22 days/mth x 12 mths x 10 years) = S$52,800.

But yes, this rule together with the casino non-levy on foreigners working in SG, are 2 really screwed rules. In fact, these foreigners are arguably more vulnerable to gambling issues than Singaporeans & PRs.

Boss my bad. I failed my math at school for obvious reason. Not sure about the casino part. Not a casino person.

I have learnt that it is okay to let a minority benefit by not raising up issues. When the government tries to "help", the majority usually suffers.

Going by their recent track record, the SG govt does need to wait for things to deteriorate to such state before any action will be taken to ban employment pass and work permit holders from driving Msia cars in...we shall wait and see, nowadays already can see Johor, Penang, KL etc cars everywhere during peak hours..got so many go to casino meh, all working one lah...

Ok roger roger, still need to add toll, depreciation of SG car based on 10 years, and deduct possible rental income from SG property to get a more accurate assessment...

 

[cheerguan]

No leh, they've 20 week days free per year - that is as good as one working month free - plus all weekends and public holidays free...

Yeah, plus deducting annual leave of 2-3 wks, can pump 95 petrol, freehold cars,......etc, who wouldn't want if not for the jams.
