    The reduction in toll at the 2nd link does not seem to have made a difference..

    People still love to use the Causeway??

    For those who enter-exit Spore through the 2nd link it must be a pretty expensive process (exclude the expats and other hi networth individuals who would definitely be a small percentage)

    Statistics show a 10% increase in the traffic volume in 2nd link. Maybe u cant notice it but I use the 2nd link to and fro almost every day. Actually I can also use causeway at much cheaper toll but I dislike causeway. Even without traffic, the winding roads limit my speed.

    Ur right. The 2nd link is a niceway to drive into MY. My wife loves to enter MY via 2nd link. The road is nice and well maintained apart from lesser traffic.

    For me personally i choose between Causeway and 2nd link based on traffic conditions. If both are free flowing i usually choose the Causeway cause its shorter.

    I am sure the Maybank inside AEON Jusco shopping centre in Bukit Indah is reasonably safe.

    Am aware of Maybank there but bank conversion rates are generally much higher...
    Are there any money changers that can give good rates in these areas and which you would not hesitate to change, say sgd10-20k each time?

    recently i changed RM 2.365 ( the sign reflected rm2.34 ) in perling next to the polis station and Maybank there. I understand that nusa bestari there also got good money changers. sometimes i change at the first money changer at nusa bestari ( coming from tesco side ) and the rate is good and girls friendly.

    The girl at perling lagi best. Nice rates and definitely nice boobs. See it for yourself!

    Sorry for my dirty jokes but the tot of changing money reminds me of my lovely girl over there.

    Today and yesterday I reached 2nd link mudland custom at around 845am. Totally no jam and I was first at the counter. I wondered if this is only during CNY period. Sg custom also no jam. I hope this is the case throughout the year!

    Default Robbery @ pasir gudang highway petrol station

    Hey guys,

    Today I read the Chinese newspaper about this robber during the CNY festival within the petrol station near the highway entrance.

    Apparently this man was driving into the station to pump petrol and did not lock the car lock. His 3 or 4 daughters and his wife are inside the car.

    3 Indian robbers also stopped on the pretext of pumping petrol but all of a sudden opened the door of the victims and forcefully robbed and slashed the victims with parangs. The girls and mum were injured in the process.

    The time is about 615am in the morning. Very Very quiet and deserted about this time somemore its the CNY period.

    Be caution

    5%...sounds like % price increase for semi d is lower than the % price increase for EL terrace

    Never safe to deal with too much cash.

    If you have an address in MY, why not open a bank account in MY? Then you can just remit money via a moneychanger in SG (good rate) over directly into your account.

    There is one on the 2nd Floor of Change Alley. That is how I remit money to UEM Land for the purchase of my terrace at East Ledang. First timyme doing it this way. It is quite "scary" as they just chop on my application form and told me it is done, after the money is handed over. But everything turned out
    ok

    Hi Wuqi, et al,

    Thanks for the good advice.

    Had some free time today, went to open account with Maybank, so will remit fm Singapore if bigger amounts needed.
    Recce-d around and seems there are quite a number of money changers around Bt Indah area, will use them for smaller amounts.

    Best offer today was 237 but did not see any big cups

    Cheers!

    237 is pretty decent right?

    Who knows we may even get more as the S$ is expected to strengthen.

    Big Cups at perling mate...
