I think is not just people staying in freehold eating roti. Quite common in Malaysia, if you tavel back from work in Singapore to JB and pasessby City Square, from 6pm to 7pm, Lavender and Season' s breads sold out fast. Like wise in bukit indah, you could see the roti is the fast moving items too. Their local brand white bread is selling fast before Gardenia.

Talking about gardenia, I wont buy it again. notice that the crust always smeared with black stuff. Its not burnt bread - they never clean the baking grill and oven, so the grime and soot sticks to the bread. Found also small plastic films stuck to their buns - contacted them about these issues 2 mths ago - they promised to investigate & let me know within a week but its already 2 mths and still no news from them.

I wanted a local bank, so have chosen RHB - is a breeze for me. The branch manager came over Singapore frequently, so it is quite hassle free interm of the process.

Thanks for info. Want to ask fellow bros and sis: If one choose to tt money from bank in Sg to a bank or lawyer in JB, which bank or moneychanger give the best exchange rate for sgd/rm? What about tt charges? Never done it before, so need to seek advice? Thanks!

I didn't TT $ from Bank, I uses money changers :

Crown Exchange Pte Ltd 11 Collyer Quay #02-35/36/37 The Arcade S'pore 049317, TT charges is SGD10
or
Global Remittance Pte Ltd, Blk 698 Hougang Street 61, Tel 6447 0200, TT Charges can be waived for bigger amount. They will notify you via email.

Anyway I made a beeline to lawyer's office at City Square to offload the cash.

good you made it safely. but i always wonder why people say 'jb not safe, not safe' then walk around with wads of cash :{
you won't catch me with more than a few hundred RM in my pocket in malaysia.

on another note: why do they call it "beeline"? has anyone seen bees lines up? I've never seen bees line up. I have seen ants line up, though. It should be changed to "i made an antline to the office".

I remember drawing $18k RM cash from RHB in City Square and putting into my flimsy plastic bag. Then I walked to the legal firm at the office tower to pay for the transaction fees for my house last year. Either I was lucky or I looked to poor to rob.

well, i wouldn't. what's wrong with writing a cheque. why would you pay cash for transaction fees on property? isn't it better to issue cheque so that there is a paper trail.?

No cheque book in Malaysia. Later I learnt tt I could TT directly to e legal firm's account. Swimming in shark infested water can be a bit thrilling sometimes.

1.6 million is lots of money! Imagine I pump RM800K into renovation into my terrace house...wah shiok man.....gold taps NKF style.

Hold that thought, don't pump RM800K, 600K can already, the other RM200K go buy Hyundai Starex Royale and pump it up with cool TV for every passenger, plush leather seats, maybe throw in kangaroo bars (even though no kangeroo to hit, look fierce sia!).
