You should buy things that made in Malaysia ,will be very cheap than Singapore

[Verve]

its for their own hari raya lah, most probably they will distribute among the custom staff rather than go thru the paperwork.

[Freemen]

Due to sugar shortage, ( as reported in the papers ) no sugar allowed to bring out of Boleh land.

[Sony]

Due to sugar shortage, ( as reported in the papers ) no sugar allowed to bring out of Boleh land.

 

 

actually sugar shortage occurs in a few states in m'sia only.. not everywhere..

[SupperTime]

All goods to Israel.

 

huuuh wonder why they put this too ? a bit uncalled for imho.

[Kelpie]

I think 1 x 5KG one is okay...

 

When Carrefour was selling a 5KG Cooking Oil for RM12 something, many people rushing for it. A local Auntie told me foreigner can bring 1 x 5Kg home each trip. Some told me only apply to govt subsidized cooking oil not those than cost RM20 something per 2Kg one. So even the local also have different opinions.

[Tjkbeluga]

Eh? ALL cooking oil? I was in MY about a month ago to buy pediasure milk powder and the custom checked my boot. Saw a crate of the milk powder but didn't say anything. Then she asked, is that made from wheat? I said no... She said wheat powder and palm oil not allowed. Other type of cooking oil is OK...
