I think already mentioned by a few before that Singapore plate car doesn't mean Singapore visitors. With so many foreigners around, cannot assume and quick to blame Singaporean to be the ones doing these. Just ask the Malaysian SPRs in this forum who are working in Spore, do they drive Singapore plate cars when in JB or other part of Malaysia?
Can't really blame Malaysians who do not know Spore has many foreigners nor blame Singaporeans who seldom visit JB to know there are many Malaysian SPRs in JB or Msia, but Malaysian SPRs and Singaporeans who frequent visit JB or living in JB should know.
Some published comments - food for thought?
Dump the littering habit - The Star Metro, Monday, February 24, 2003
"IT IS something most of us do not even think about. We do it ever so naturally, and only a handful of people avoid doing it. It is the first thing you do when you unwrap your pack of cigarettes in the car. It is called littering ... and it is getting out of control! .........
Litter comes form all sorts of sources, the biggest culprits being motorists and pedestrians............"

The other day on radio, I heard this news saying tour guides commented that a trait of Singaporean tourist being always looking for rubbish bin when touring overseas. Does it sound strange that Singaporean go overseas for tour will look for bins but drive to JB and other parts of Malaysia for tour will start littering? Time and empathy will not improve things if people keep assume and quick to blame the wrong people.
Another thing is the pumping of petrol, Ron 97 that Singaporeans and foreigners can pump in Malaysia is not subsidised, so foreigners are paying market price for petrol and if Singaporeans or other foreigners find it value for money and want to squeeze to pump more, this has nothing to do with greed since not getting any subsidy for it and not depriving any local from getting any petrol.
Lastly about the using of emergency lane or jump queue, anyone who have driven on Pasir gudang highway and stucked in traffic jam before and will know that even if the highway is two lane, another lane or more will start forming as people start to squeeze. Don't say emergency lane, as long as got space, there'll be a lane. Personally I have seen five or six lanes being formed and then all bottleneck back to two lanes.
Swee!
