Custom officers "tips"

[Augleo]

recently, any1 encounter that M custom officers asking whether u need to change their currency? After giving the S$, there isnt any currency in return. if u keep waiting, officer will give u a stack of white card. if u persist waiting, a bigger stack of white card will be given. till the car behind u ...horning n u hv no choice but proceed w/o getting your wanted currency.

Have not personally encountered but have heard from a good friend who runs a business there. They will ask for exchange and either they take the money outright or they will give you back in RM$ of the same numerical figure, therefore earning the foreign exchange. It happens but not very frequent and usually during the peak/holiday season. Guess they take advantage of the infrequent traveller to JB.

 

That's another form of taking $$$ from you. For me.... I was asked to exchange money from a pump attendant..... (what they take us for... idiots? ) I just told him no and walked off.

Well... you can say you don't have Sing currency and play it by ear lor. What happens is that many unsuspecting people just fish out the money and then they've been had.

 

Guess the fella can make a fuss, ask heaps of questions on your entry and delay stamping the passport, but then it'll not be your fault for not moving along. If you passport is in order, there's really not much they can do but waste a couple of mins of your time.
