More Reasons To Vote For The Opposition

because of the Malaysian government’s subsidies, the price of petrol and other necessities are considerably lower.

When Singaporeans drive to Malaysia to shop, they also benefit from these lower prices.

foreign motorists entering Malaysia from Thailand or Singapore would likely have to pay a RM20 fuel levy for entering the country, regardless of the number of days they remain there.

Having just bought a car in Singapore and driving it to work everyday from Johor Bahru, the government has suddenly announced that I have to pay Rm20 everytime I drive across the causeway to Singapore. WTF?!

I have one thing to say. The average citizen does not benefit from this decision.

While I do not give a flying fish about RM20/day, I know it’s definitely going to affect the small business owners in JB who depend on Singaporeans to come over and spend their foreign exchange. Not all Singaporeans are going to be willing to pay this amount.

So to the Malaysian Minister of Tourism Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansur - your irrational decision definitely have a negative effect on Johor Bahru. But you don’t really care, do you?

I can give you tonnes of reason.. but that won’t change a thing.

walk my slit eye friend and save ur 20 ringgit

omg I just noticed the link from the related previous posts… it’s been so long ago.

Trying to be fair here. Every time I go to Singapore in a Malaysian car, Singapore makes me pay $$$ as well. For each DAY the car is in Singapore. The Malaysian charge is only per entry.

Plus, don’t Singaporeans save more than RM20 every time they pump a tank of petrol on the Malaysian side. Not to mention jacking up the prices of goods and housing, especially for everyone in Johor who does not earn SGD. You know how Singaporeans bitch about housing prices skyrocketing because of foreign participation? Yeah, analogous. So bitch about the stupidity of the other really stupid things that Malaysian officials do, but not the measly RM20 charge for Singapore cars.
