some1 pls help me... i got a quick question... can an ep pass holder with no sg driving license but having msia driving license drive a sg registered car? sad.gif

If you reside in Singapore (ie. your residential address is in SG), you need a SG licence to drive any car. The only exception are foreigners who reside in Singapore (ie. non-citizens / non-PRs. All pass & permit holders are foreigners) have 12 months grace.

QUOTE(Traffic Police)
To drive a vehicle in Singapore, you must possess a valid Singapore driving licence for the class of vehicle that you want to drive. This requirement applies to all citizens and permanent residents of Singapore and also foreigners who are residing in Singapore for more than twelve (12) months. Foreigners who reside here for less than twelve (12) months must possess a valid foreign licence and International Driving Permit (IDP) issued by an authorised body in their country of origin e.g. the Automobile Association (AA). If an International Driving Permit is not available, an official translation of your foreign licence in English is required. Drivers from ASEAN member countries only need to possess a valid driving licence issued by the relevant driving licence Authority in order to drive in Singapore without IDP.

Licensing requirement

Which country the car is registered in has nothing to do with what licence the driver must possess. The registration of the car, along with your status as either a visitor/tourist or work pass holder, determines how long the car can remain in or how often it must leave Singapore.

QUOTE(LTA)
VISITORS

If you drive a foreign-registered vehicle, you have to acquire an Autopass Card (a vehicle entry permit) at either Woodlands or Tuas Checkpoint arrival zones before entering Singapore.

From 1 June 2005, all drivers of foreign registered cars and motorcycles can drive into Singapore for a maximum of 10 days in each calendar year without having to pay VEP fees.

After the 10 VEP free days have been utilized, VEP fees for subsequent days are chargeable if you continue to use or drive your foreign-registered car or motorcycle during VEP operating hours.

WORK PASSES

Any work pass holder, who is neither a Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR) nor a resident of Singapore, may drive a foreign-registered car and motorcycle in Singapore only if ALL these conditions are met:
a) he is the registered owner of the vehicle ;
b) he resides outside Singapore;
c) the vehicle is kept or used outside Singapore for a total period of 6 hours or more everyday ;
d) he has a valid insurance certificate and road tax for the use of the vehicle on Singapore roads ; and
e) the vehicle has an Autopass Card to validate its entry/exit at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints and for payment of Vehicle Entry Permit/Toll charges.

Please note that a work pass holder who is also a SPR or resident of Singapore is not allowed to drive a foreign-registered vehicle in Singapore.

Driving in & out of Singapore

I would suggest camelbak since it integrates a fluid hydration system into the a normal backpack package since if you like hiking, its very important to keep yourself hydrated at all times.

I have one when i go for work since its a pain to bring a water botol when my backpack can serve as a storage medium for both my equipment as well as a quick to reach water bottle system. I got mine while i was in the states but most hiking and certain bike shops should sell these range since its rather popular.

What matters for hikers is how the product performs and is it rugged enough that it will last you instead of wearing out prematurely. Worse scenario is your lost and you found out that theres a hole in your backpack and all of your essential survival equipment is lost.

Hi all, for bringing back less than $2000 back to Malaysia, which is the cheapest method?

1. physically bring in cash into Msia via money change exchange
2. remittance (is this more suitable for huge amount?

By the way, I heard its cheaper to exchange SGD->RM in SG coz exchange rate higher, is this true? And money changer in City Hall provides best exchange rate?

If you want to do it online, CIMB Sg to CIMB My is free. MBB Sg to MBB My is $15. If you use your CIMB Sg or MBB Sg ATM card to withdraw money in My, it's free. But the e/rate is a bank rate, which is generally not as good as money changer. There are exceptions though like CNY this year when MBB's rate was a full 2 sen per S$ better than money changer.

$2K is small money, Just withdraw from ATM and bring it back to a money changer in Sg or My.

Hello friends,

I'll be joining you all working in this little plot of land.

I'm not looking forward to it. Worked in Japan, Taiwan, China and now finally the place i dread to be in Singapoor.

Singapore maybe rich in money but seriously they are poor; theres no land and I feel its so cramped here.

Unless you enquire at every bank on the same day, you'll never know for sure. My experience is that banks will converge on the daily inter bank rate. Possibly a bit better for CIMB and MBB as they might reduce or even eliminate their margin spread as it's intercompany. My feel is that CIMB is out to gain business as they are a new player in Sg, so they will not make themselves less competitive vs other banks. Otherwise their Starsaver savings account will not pay interest more than double that of MBB's iSavvy and SC's eSaver.
