jurlique, yeah both RS & BT have been capped and what bugs me is when you use BT you can't surf the net at all.

Lester, do you know whats the interest rate of citibank currently or are all banks interest rates controlled by MAS?

don't know. the interest is very low, i believe banks in Malaysia offer higher interest rate.

Wanna ask, those working in Sg, where do u renew your Malaysian driving license. JB can renew? where? thanks

Thanks Lester, I got to know from CC thread that DBS has lowest income requirement for foreigner at $45k pa.

For those who work in SG, do you go to Johor to get your groceries? Will the price be "cheaper" this way?

Thanks Sean. If I do not qualify to apply for SG CC, do you think its okay to use MY CC in SG? The cons I could think of is 1. extra admin charges incurred for overseas spending, 2. troublesome - need to transfer money from SG to MY bank to pay bills

Reason I'm asking about using CC in SG is because I got used to paying via CC in MY, as it is very convenient for me, no need to brings lots of cash & I only need to pay once per month. Plus I get cash rebates for my spending too.

Incidentally has anyone got SIP working with Android or Apple devices? With proliferation of data plans, it could mean far cheaper calls than even the telcos can provide, maybe at expense of call quality/lag.

right. wouldn't it be a greater risk if someone get whole of the debit card  info compare to prepaid visa? I tried to used my prepaid visa if possible for overseas purchases instead of credit card. who knows when the card will be compromise.

May I know which feature of prepaid card make it more secure than debit card? I never use prepaid card before, don't quite understand how it works.

Anyone signup for the World Cup package?

It seems reasonable at just $66 for 64 live matches... = $1 for 1 match.

I am going to signup tomorrow to enjoy my HD world Cup.

u can use debit card instead of credit card in SG. Their debit card is accepted by all merchants here. and the debit card works as good as a credit card as u will enjoy some rebate when u swipe it just like what we are getting in Malaysia. Not advisable to use ur MY CC here if not needed because the exchange rate sux. I have been using my DBS and citibank debit card here for the pass 6 months, so far non of the transaction got rejected as long as ur account have enough money. My friend tried to use his Malaysia Maybank Debit card here last time but it got rejected. Malaysia really "失败" in their debit card compare to SG.

Don't simply comment "Malaysia really "失败" in their debit card compare to SG."
Did you find out what is the problem? Your friend has enough money in his bank account? The credit card machine got any problem?

don't know. the interest is very low, i believe banks in Malaysia offer higher interest rate.

my fren have around RM8k in the account and he is just doing a $70 transaction. because he didn't carry enough cash, i ended up helping him to swipe with my Malaysian Credit card and the transaction gone through with the same machine. it isn't that called "失败" and that made my friend dam embarrass as he was looking for me all around the place to pay for him.
