Hmmm
This Good Friday Easter WEekend i am going to have 6 visitors at my home.
Gonna have one big Eurasian party with portuguese styled pork and the works.
Now obviously i cant put them all in my car. Which means i need to call 2 cabs as i need my car for my family.
Now any guys can suggest numbers of reliable cab companies? Do they have bigger cabs? I have not seen any.
Also another important question and bro Wuqi maybe able to help me out here. I would like to bring the visitors to Bukit Indah Jusco. While from Setia Tropika i can call for cabs to Bukit Indah, i would like to be advised on how do i return from Bukit indah to ST. Do i call again? And if i call will the cabs pick me up from Bukit Indah Jusco?
The reason i am asking this is cause i have not seen many cabs around this place cause obviously most people drive around that part of town.
Help..

I dun think we can influence solutions in anyway. We are not part of any influence group that counts in the malaysian scheme of things
I dun think i ever mentioned crime in Bukit Indah. Please point that out. And if i did i am sorry. I have already apologised. But if i did not... I am not going to ask you to apologise cause I have learned a lot from you
There are lots of things you wanna say about me playing politics, criticising, harping and so on. I will let you do that.
For the moment i will not harp on the things you have said/discussed and which in my opinion may not be right cause you have helped me a lot. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions right?
Lets try not to force our ideas on anyone or suggest that this is how forummers must participate. Let forummers say whatever they wanna say as long as they talk about IM.
I think if you have noticed i have given you lots of credit many times. You still needle me? Why?

Hmmm if i speak about it I will be offending sensitivities/hijacking/playing politics etc.
But ur right. If we realise that crime does exist it will possibly make us more cautious which is good for all of us.
Yes i noticed Road Blocks while entering Bukit Indah from the highway on Sunday and yday as well.

Sure, it's money Matters Foreign Exchange, 11 collyer quay, #02-32/33 The Arcade. Tel: 6222-1451. Better call up to check the rate first!
Yes I "double confirm' that they are able to give one of the best rates, I'm their customer too. 1 or 2 other money changers on the same floor(2nd floor) are able to give comparable rates or even 10 cents higher sometimes. It depends on the exact time when they bought their money to keep as their stock, exchange rate fluctuates every seconds. So maybe Money Matters display a better rate today, another money changer might display a better rate tomorrow. The key is to compare the displayed rates on 2nd floor of Arcade, don't waste your time going to 1st floor as their rates are lousier as they operate like retailers rather than wholesalers. All the most competitive rates are on 2nd floor.
I can say that Arcade provides one of the best rates in Singapore. I've went to Parkway once and with the rate they offered, I'll be getting RM420 lesser as I called Arcade to compare rates. I asked them whether they can meet Arcade's rate but they said they were unable to. They counter offered me their best rate but still RM100 lesser than Arcade. I thought it was not worth the trouble to drive to Arcade just for another Rm100, thus I just took their offer.
Where ever you guys go to exchange Ringgit next time, just call Money Matters at the number stated by Jogs1 above to compare the rate and remember to post your comparison here so as to benefit every reader. When you call, ask for Aneen or Anvar so that they will think that you are their big time regular customer who has their business card
I tend to agree with you on this. By bringing the problem to the surface, it will be a bitter pill to swallow. However I'd rather swallow the bitter pill to get well, so that the police do something about it. Rather then let things escalate to a detrimetal stage. Sweeping the problem under the carpet is not a good idea.
The Change Alley at Collyer quay thats what its called right?
Some bank guys i know told me that their rates are "as good as it can get" which means very good.

Prof, the robbery at Bukit Indah? No problem, If we can't solve the problem or find ways to alleviate/avoid it, then we have to face it head on. Criticizing a place we are guests in and knowing we cannot do anything about it, well anyway, this is not a moderated forum.
I checked through, I left out the "'t" in the can, i meant it as "can't" as it was a real typo. My apologies.
I picked on you as i thought you were singling out one single place to criticize.
I understand your view point, please accept my apologies as well.
Prof, HH, Cathy -
Mentioning of anything, anytime is fine.
I always try to point out solutions when i can. Don't get me wrong, crime is everywhere as its always been stated in the forum, there is no moderation here so you can
always post anything to warn or update others.

It is quite easy to get a 7 seater from Bukit Indah but better to call them first. Two guys I know with 7 seaters are Ghani and Din and they have those nice looking blue cabs.Hmmm

Phones are 0167185175 and 0169581214
i noticed that most of the road blocks they almost always put more attention to JB cars and tend to leave SG plates alone @ BI so long as no illegal HIDs etc. At the causeway side majority of the time SG plates get pulled over. can see the difference in motive. So far every single time that i travel to BI I always see road blocks. it is a good feeling to know that its no longer NATO anymore.
Thanks so much rw6akr. Really need help over the Easter Weekend. Too many visitors. 2 cabs would be a headache as these guys are foeigners (dunno their way around)
Thanks i will try them.
Also just a question. Any specific place in Bukit INdah near Jusco/Tesco where cabs park so that i can get there incase the limo cabs are not available?

Wuqi honestly you are needling me again.
Please show me the thread wherein i highlighted robbery at Bukit INdah.
I searched through the threads last night i could not find them.
I did a google search this morning. Still cant find them.
I apologise in advance if i specifically mentioned robbery at Bukit Indah. I have a strong feeling you are mistaken though.
I really dun understand why you are after me all the time.

Not sure if i have already mentioned it. I left my home at ST at about 1205 am.
Reached my home in Spore at 1250am
45 minutes. Not bad. I must say off peak timing though!

In a more developed country like Singapore, there are pressure on Government or private sectors to provide better service or to improve on the things that they do because its people are always complaining.
Even better individual's manners and graciousness can be built from peer pressure or pressure from the society. One example would be if you cut a queue and everyone else in the queue would speak up and tell you off. I'm sure you wouldn't dare to cut any queue in future. It's because of the Asian culture in us which prevents us from telling off some strangers who cut a queue, thus those ill mannered ones don't have any pressure on them to be more gracious. Why are people from some western countries, I'm not saying all, more gracious than us generally? You try cutting queue in an AngMo country and see whether many Angmos will tell you off or not? You can try that in Singapore, if you are unlucky, you'll meet a rare hero who will curse at you with hokkien vulgarities but in most circumstances, people will just look at each other with wrinkle eyebrows but keep quiet about it. Don't you agree that when we visit a country where everyone are so gracious, we will also become gracious instantaneously so as not to be the odd one out or being labelled as a low-class and rude person?
If just 70% of the population of Malaysia are like the Angmo from Adda Heights who is not afraid to speak up and complain with all his talents and make that matter big, I'm sure the government will be pressured to 'further' improve on whatever area they need to improve, even though they are already improving and results have been seen with statistics. To repeat myself again, "Keeping quiet is not the long term solution". For our own society to improve, it must start from us.
Of course such mindset and culture of a country need tens of years to slowly change through education and learning, I'm merely highlighting the issue.

AP: seems like you're traveling in and out a fair bit these days! And I can see why you'd want the EDL to be ready asap. I wonder if the EDL will relieve the trafic build up at tebrau highway. Actually, it is not that bad if not for the traffic because once you pass a green light within a correct timing, the whole way is fairly smooth. Some build up of traffic and it can be red all the way!
