MY to push ahead with RM20 surcharge

[Perseus76]

me also long time didn't go in liao. Maybe 3-4months. Sian. now got 2 kids....scare of the recent crime rates. Last time (>10yrs ago) I also got robbed. But never report mah. The 0.005% must be those who reported leh.

 

the 0.005% are major crimes ... those that are fatals or serious with injuries..

 

the rest of them are no case, becos not reported....or reported, but no give kopi money so not recorded thus no case......

Stupid Msian Government.

[/b]In Singapore, Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said the levy was inconsequential compared to the fuel subsidies and other benefits Singaporeans enjoyed in Malaysia.

 

Other benefits like chances to be robbed???

[Apollo]

pls lah.... the TP neber rob one. they merely help to lighten ur pocket. this reduce ur burden so that you can continue to enjoy ur visit.

[Ahbengdriver]

KNN after the levy is implemented, the MY traffic police can eat grass oledi. few Sg cars means fewer bribes. Maybe shld pose this question to the tourism minister in SG now

 

"Encik, the RM$20 u collect is not enuf to cover for the 'losses' of yr silly matas, bcos they always ask for RM$50. I think yr mata gonna eat grass...muuuu "

 

or ask him

 

"Encik, if we pay RM$20 at entry, does it mean yr chiak lui matas will accept only RM$30(instead of usual RM$50) if they stop us for speeding?"

[DarkLord]

I stopped once I moved to the East from Woodlands.. Dun have so much energy to chiong JB every other day..

[Mobilio]

well, if u ask me, it's a fair deal,

 

MY car come to SG pay SGD$20

SG car go MY pay RM$20

 

where is the problem?? infact, SG car has better deal.... cheaper petrol, cheaper seafood, cheaper meimei....

 

Many won't mind as long as they don't get robbed.

MY car in SG - chances of getting robbed is almost zero.

Now we get robbed RM$20 upon entering the country, subsequently, there is still no guarantee that you won't get robbed again.

[Geezer]

all muz be united in tis let them feel e effects for 3months..in e meantime no s'poreans to target-jb will be a lawless city man..can't imagine,e robbers will be fighting amongst themselves.worst scenario.

$$$ Big collection here folks! "LTA says the number of cars in Singapore grew by a record 7.5 per cent last year to 465,482 units". Take a rough estimate of about 25,0000 vehicles crossing causeway per day (inc 2000 lorries/day and buses). Plus the big traffic jams over the June/December holidays, CNY, Hari Raya Puasa, X'mas, Good Friday...Deepavali...Vesak Day...other public holidays. A rough calculation hor>

 

25,000x20=$RM 500,000 /day

500,000x7=$RM 3.5 million /wk

3.5x52=$RM 182 million /year

182x10yrs=RM$ 1.82 billion (not inclusive of future toll-raise)..Pandai otak nya!

[Ironstarz]

boycott em for a month, imagine we pass the message to all forums for one month they see a sudden drop ah, let them reconsider their action if still bug 2 mth , i tell u the machine will become useless already

Tengku Adnan said that the state of crime in Johor Baharu was not as bad as was made out to be by the media here.

"The crime statistics for the whole of Malaysia have gone down, including those in Johor," he said.

 

Out of 20 million trips that Singaporeans made to Malaysia annually, only 0.005 per cent of the trips encountered problems, he said.

 

"I'm not saying that it's good (statistics). We certainly don't like what is happening and we are working very closely to the authorities to look at this matter seriously," he said. Security is being beefed up to bring the rate further down and to make sure the safety of tourists are taken care of, he said.

NILAI: The figures are worrying

[Darth_mel]

Police solving rate is 50%.....

 

No wonder crime rate goes up. It's not the criminals getting smarter, but it's the police getting more incompetent.
