We use a Mac and Samsung printer Excel programme was fine too. Dunno if this works for you and your printer - try first?
At one time it was also possible to buy for RM$10, a 2 cm+ pile of forms at the immigration counter at the second link ... otherwise collecting 2 - 4 at a time to build up a pile was too time consuming.

Thanks, will consider. You use what program to do the template? Excel? All printers can print on the white card?

On mail, it is difficult to get a PO Box at the GPO along the coast line. But we have had 4 years of problem free mail receipt in Nusajaya. Banks are willing to send you even your credit card bills to a Johor address.
I recently wanted to send a lumpy rosary through the Spore mail to a Spore address and was advised by a cautious friend not to do it, as mail that is not flat might be tampered with, and the contents, if not money and stolen, would be thrown away. I found this over-cautious and unlikely, but would like to know whether in Singapore mail tampering is a concern for you. Anyone with bad experiences in the last 4 years?

You mean at Sutera Utama side? Because HH terraces are fetching this price

Yes Sutera Utama . I think for 3.5K is slightly on the high side . But looking at the currently crazy price for new launch , ppl might begin to accept the high price sooner or later . Not forgetting that you might need to refurnish you home next time . My neighour is no choice , need to go back KL for work , otherwise I think not wise to provide furnishing .

how do you guys handle your mails from singapore companies ? example singtel mobile lines , LTA letters etc ? do they send to malaysia address ?

i have since found it more convenient to rent a virtual 'office' address and collect mail from them. good deals abound on the web check it out and decide which location best suits you.

I believe Singpost offer a service call V post or PO box. etc.. you may wish to enquire.. if i am not wrong, its not more than $20 a month.. maybe less than $10.

some organizations billing organizations do not accept PO box addresses. need to check with them.

Hello all

Found this on bus services launched in 2010.
Has anyone seen these buses and knows if these buses are still running?
Thanks.

Import cats the way dogs are imported: your own vet to give a health cert - AVA and pay $50 for certification - bring in - clear in JB with RM$5 fee. No annual license fees for cats. Good idea to neuter/spay and get the shots regularly as cats are vulnerable to the usual feline illnesses here.

Noah's Ark have a sanctuary and will board pets for a fee. So will local vets. We use Wondercare.

Hi to all brothers, may I know what time will there be a jam at the causeway? What time does the jam start in the morning and evening? Thanks

.....Thanks for your kind words Cathylmg, it was really bad in those days, what is the issue though is no matter how much i prove to them or treat them well, its still like that, even today. My dad would seldom think whether i have eaten even when visiting but will use the money i gave him to buy food for them. He will buy for everyone, except me.....

Wuqi bro, remember what I said earlier? Its not your problem. He is his own problem. He is in debt to them. But he owes you less. Don't worry. Be happy!

 

[cathylmg]

Cathy, you are so right! I went to the Bedok interchange money changer and saw 2.45 vs the 2.445 at Chinatown. Will consider going there to change money now since it's only 20 mins from my workplace. Thanks.

vincentck bro, you are welcome.

For those who feels that Iskandar is progressing slowly, here's something from someone working in IRDA which I copied from another forum.

"Although it is not visible to the general public, Medini is also progressing well and all the infrastructure work will be completed soon and we should be able to drive through the area. Unlike most normal developments, the Medini developer is putting everything in place first. Eg. roads, street lights, sewer lines, power lines, comms lines so it is Not just land clearing."
