Umm, you reckon NEA or AVA will let a licensed canteen operator do that?

It isnt a problem if your an illegal canteen operator.

I'm going back on 3rd Jan , expected heavy traffic on Plus highway and also very bad traffic jam at causeway on the 2nd.

I think 3rd Jan early part of the day will have a very heavy traffic too.

yeah, but main concern still the causeway

Yeah I think it will be crowded too. Cos some of them might work for 1/2 a day and going home back to JB in droves, SG-poreans going to JB for last minute shopping. I am also worry that day on how to get through the causeway in 2 or 3 hours! Hope that I am wrong.

i think i will be arriving at the Causeway around 1am 2nd Jan, still got jam meh?? 1am wor... those people no nid sleep?

Hopefully. Most likely I will have to do that when getting out to JB and subsequently back to KL.

from wat i heard since the 2 casinos open its jammed even during the wee hours of the morning lol

no la, in the morning around 6:40am, causeway no jam 1 la. every morning i am traveling there now. so i know. only motorcycle will be queuing to pass the causeway.

As far as the eye can see right?

Plus if its raining, all of you have to slowly push yer motors in the rain.

many canteen food are import from Malaysia, maybe not those in orchard road.

NEA and AVA only care if they prepare the food in clean and safe way. Where you buy or how much you pay for that packet of rice, sugar etc is not so easy to monitor.

its not eyes can see la, i am experiencing it everyday now. under certain reason, today the immigration is very smooth. even there is a lot of people, but i queue less than 20 mins can pass already (normally around 30-40mins). so i reach my office in 1 hour time. really nice. regarding raining, you can also see that everyone has their own rain coat la. i even put a pair of slippers in my bike for rain. It actually quite nice. when we are queuing under the rain, the queue will be shorter and also normally the road will be a bit flooded, so can play with the water a little bit while queuing .

I think intelligent illegal canteen operators will not put themselves in a position where they subject the inventory for their illegal activity to daily customs scrutiny.

not all canteen are like MNC and have to be audit. They are not so rich to avoid some risk. You are thinking too much.

You are correct. Most foodstuffs in Singapore are imported from Malaysia. But by licensed and registered importers.

There's a difference between importing commercial quantities and bringing in food for personal consumption. There's a ceiling weight & value specified for personal consumption, if I'm not mistaken.

As above. Imports of food like meat, vegetables etc are regulated. The distinction between import & personal consumption applies.

So, it's not just how food is prepared, but also what food is being prepared.

Added on December 3, 2010, 2:35 pmAsk your canteen operator. Do they go to JB every morning to buy a couple bakuls of veges or do they buy from the wholesale importer? Perhaps you're simplifying things too much?

Anyway... see the 2 following websites:

AVA - Bringing Food into Singapore... the key seems to be <5kg.

Actually even for me who take bus, the traffic now is smoother. Used to take longer time to get across the crossway. However, the traffic jam in BKE and PIE is unbearable. I am pondering of taking the MRT to Marseling and walk to Woodlands only then take a bus. Anyone walked before? Just curious.

Any suggestion on venue to have company D&D that able to cater for about 20 people? Spacious space to play games too.

Are you going to apply any social visit Pass(for family member) or PR? If yes then visit the ICA website to see the list of document to bring.
