Will this stop you from entering JB for their petrol/food/groceries? Definitely will give a 2nd thot on getting a property in Nusajaya... http://ride.asiaone.com/news/general/story...ars-entering-jb ******************************************************************************** **** Nusajaya | The Star/Asia News Network | Wednesday, Aug 21, 2013 JOHOR - Johor should consider imposing a levy on Singapore-registered vehicles entering the state, because the move would generate additional revenue, a Johor politician has suggested. Semarang assemblyman Samsol Bari Jamil of Barisan Nasional said that more than 200,000 cars from Singapore enter Johor Baru daily via the Causeway and Second Link crossing. He proposed that the state government impose a RM7 (S$2.70) levy on each Singapore-registered car, adding that the amount was affordable to Singaporeans. "(Singaporeans) will continue coming to Johor, even if the state government starts imposing the levy on them," he said. He said it was a well- known fact that Singapore and Johor have a close relationship, with many Singaporeans having relatives and family members in the Malaysian state. Datuk Samsol Bari also urged the state government to bring equal amounts of development to other parts of Johor, and not focus only on certain districts. "Johoreans in the other parts perceive that they have been sidelined by the state government in (terms of) development," he said. All foreign-registered vehicles entering Singapore, including Malaysian cars and motorcycles, have to pay a fee during certain hours on weekdays. In addition, toll charges apply for both Singapore and foreign cars at the Tuas and Woodlands checkpoints. - See more at: http://ride.asiaone.com/news/general/story...h.FpU5EplH.dpuf

Straits Times Forum Homes shouldn't undermine levy A HIGHER foreign worker levy was one key factor cited in the rise of charges in some nursing homes ("Some nursing home operators raising fees"; Monday). Yet, the reason that spurred the Ministry of Manpower to hike the levy was to encourage lesser dependence on foreign labour and to encourage employers to redesign jobs that will attract Singaporeans. It defeats the Government's dual aim if nursing homes pass the buck in the levy increase to their clients via stiffer fees. Instead of merely awarding subsidies to families based on income level, the Government could consider providing nursing homes some form of subsidy per resident to help them stay sustainable. These subsidies could come with caveats such as an increased number of Singaporeans taking up patient-care jobs at the homes over a specified period of time. The ministry and the National Trades Union Congress could also help nursing homes redesign patient-care jobs so as to attract more citizens, especially retired nurses, to consider working part time there. The ministry needs to ensure there are more teeth for its policies to work. Using a blunt and simplistic instrument like raising the levy lets employers off the hook by simply passing the buck to consumers. With an ageing population, more could be done to help the nursing-home sector as its role will only increase in importance in the years ahead. Edwin Lim

Members of Parliament (MPs) and industry watchers are concerned that the levies imposed on local visitors to the integrated resort (IR) casinos are not achieving its desired effect. A whopping S$130 million in levies were collected from both IR casinos between April and November last year alone, The Straits Times reported. It seems the idea of losing S$100 even before hitting the tables has not deterred a few thousand Singaporean and PR visitors from entering the casino daily, based on the above figure. Mrs Lim Hwee Hwa, Minister in the Prime Minister

Now that we are gg to have 2 casinos, I wonder if say a person decides to pay 2k for a year entry, does this 2k entitles him to go to 1 or both casinos? The levy is imposed to deter gambling.. so if say one paid 2k already, then he should have access to BOTH casino (note that the 2k is not gg into pocket of casino but govt). Which casino he goes to should be inmaterial since levy is for gambling and NOT in the nature of a club access fee. p.s: title should be 2k Gambling levy, not $100. My wrong.

After all they already impose $100 on casino entry, a high tax on alcohol and cigarette. Why not a sex levy?

The levy on employers of foreign domestic helpers will be suspended for two years from September, bringing a saving of HK$9,600, but the measure will not benefit those who have already paid.... Too bad...only apply in HK. When is SG going to follow? http://www.scmp.com/portal/site/SCMP/menui...ong+Kong&s=News

I posted few days ago (6/12/07) on POSB who charges $4.50 for coins deposit by a child who was given a "Piggy Bank" in form of a 'can' by POSB in school so as to encourage him to save. His mother was fuming mad and wrote to the ST Forum page to complain. In today ST Forum (11/12/07) read: "POSB Staff Wrong to Levy Coin-deposit Fee" DBS reply : We are disappointed that we failed Mdm Tan's son when he went to our branch to deposit his saving into his personal POSB account. In conjunction with the Children's Day this year, we produce specially-designed POSBkids Savers coin banks tp encourage our young customers to start saving. When the coin banks are filled up, the children can bring their savings to their favourite POSB branch and deposit the money into their POSBkids saving accounts. No coin-deposit fee is levied for these children. We are sorry that our staff at the branch made a mistake and deducted the amount from his account. We have spoken to Mdm Tan and apologised to her and her son, and have since refunded the fee to his account. At least DSB had clear the air in regards to saving by child. My only hope is that it could be extended to all form of coins saving by the child in regardless of whether the "Piggy Bank" is issued by POSB or not. As well the coins is creditted into the POSBkids account, the coin-deposit levy should be waived. -

That is good news!!!! -------------- It's Tourism Minister says the cabinet agreed to the suspension for the duration of Visit Malaysia Year 2007 Apr 24, 2007 AsiaOne KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia has suspended plans to impose a RM20 levy on foreign-registered vehicles entering the country from Singapore and Thailand.. Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Mansor told The Straits Times that the Cabinet agreed to the suspension of the levy for the duration of Visit Malaysia Year 2007. "As Minister of Tourism, I have been pressing for this as we want more Singaporeans to come to Malaysia. The Minister of Transport agreed with us," he said. The matter was discussed two weeks ago in Cabinet, which decided to suspend the levy to avoid hurting the tourism industry during this promotional campaign, according a report in The Straits Times Interactive. The decision would be reviewed at the end of the year, said Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan, who added that he hoped the levy would not be implemented as it would affect tourism. The levy, which is meant to defray the fuel subsidies that have kept Malaysian pump prices among the lowest in the region, was announced in April last year and was slated to be implemented on Sept 1, 2006. Singaporeans make up about 60 per cent of tourist arrivals in Malaysia. About 114,000 vehicles including lorries and motorcycles enter Malaysia from Singapore daily, of which about 40,000 are estimated to be Singapore-registered cars. Malaysia hopes to attract some 20.1 million visitors to its shores this year, with about half expected to come from Singapore. It has already recorded a healthy 4.4% growth of tourist arrivals from Singapore in January and February, as compared to the same period last year. source: http://news.asiaone.com.sg/a1news/20070424_story25_1.html
