Johor Bahru Favorites

Favorite thing: Singaporians take advantage of the Sing Dollar, and move into this weekend getaway into Malaysia for shopping, dining, relaxation.

l

Fondest memory: Have the best of Malaysian Food, Shop in the semi swanky Malls (compared to Singapore) and Have aperfect getaway from the cosmopoliton rush of Singapore.

Favorite thing: Step out of the giant air conditioned mall called Singapore and experience some of the "down to earth-ness" of this friendly country.

Shopping is everywhere and you can get most anything pretty cheaply. Life isn't so hurried and it's just small jump Singapore.

You can rent a limo from Changyi for only about 80 Singaporean dollars which will take you right in.

Favorite thing: This is the picture of the New Custom, Immigration and Quarantine Complex (CIQ) in Johore Baru taken from the newly built bridge that was part of the Southern Integrated Gateway, but still not operational yet.The CIQ will be largest of its kind in Malaysia…it occupies an area of 232,237 square metres.
I gather this information at : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Integrated_Gateway

Fondest memory: Food, Friends & Families!

Favorite thing: Look at the bus stop...It has no sign, so you better make sure where you want to go or which bus you want to take! The good thing is that the bus driver will always let you alight somewhere to take another bus if you make the wrong choice...A sincere appologies and a thank's from the heart will always go a loooong way!

Fondest memory: Friends And Family

Favorite thing: Cigarettes price in S'pore are killing the smokers even before the cigarettes does…So most smokers that come to M'sia especially J.B wouldn't want to miss the chance to buy the cigarettes even just for a packet or so.

Fondest memory: For Smokers... Cheap Cigarettes Of Course!

Favorite thing: Not all S'porean go to J.B just to shop but some go to J.B to visit their families or relatives there. Some even bought a house in J.B to stay. We love J.B because the feeling of kampong life is there.
Some S’porean married to M’sian and prefers to stay in J.B or vice versa…Anyway Singapore was under Malaysia once!

Favorite thing: During the month of Ramadhan a lot of place in J.B will have bazaar that sell clothing and Malay's Kueh for Hari Raya…If you are around any of this bazaar take the advantage to buy some of the Malay's Kueh (Mostly biscuits). Some of these Malay's delicacies are so hard to find except in the month of Ramadhan and most people regardless of their races will take the advantage to buy it.

Fondest memory: Families, Friends And Food

Favorite thing: All non citizen need to complete the Immigration Card (white Card) when we clear the customs.

The white card may be obtained at the customs counter. Just approach any of the staff at the counter and they will give youu a stack of white cards.

Do check that your white card and passport has been stamped.

If you have problem with filling up the immigration card, just pay the old man for this service.
