Sam Leong must be a nut! For this comment below he has infracted me!
No excuse for his reason because I was doing a favour by quoting the section relevant for my response.
I gather that he does'nt welcome me to his forum. If he doesnt reinstate the points that he usurped, this will be my last post to the forum. I have sent a personal response to his message. Best wishes to him and all forummers!!!

jubilee1919;1298521.. Travellers carrying goods with values exceeding the Goods and Services Tax (GST) relief and duty-free allowance have to declare the goods at the Customs Red Channel at checkpoints said:It was already a ruling when GST was first introduced (they did not take into account of inflation) but the customs on the ground did not fully implement it. It does it at random and on a case-by-case basis - like the man who came back from Sarawak with boxes of bird nest and sway sway kenna checked and fined.
It's a case of torturing a monkey to frighten all the other monkeys. If the Customs people were to check every person, the queue would stretch from Changi to Chennai. Only the Saints will quai quai go to the Red Lane to declare that he has bought $151 of goods at the Causeway or $601 at Changi.
All the best,
