Food court in shopping malls will usually have at least 1 muslim stall (certified Halal). There is a regulation on this I think. I hope it should not be a problem else our muslim locals will have the same problem as you. So far no one has complained about i.

Christmas shopping will starts early this year due to APEC meeting somewhere in the 2nd week of Nov. SG Gov has string together with event organisor to organise activities for APEC members. Christmas lightup will begin 7 Nov as reported along Orchard Rd. Best place for information will be the SG tourist promotion board or Unique Singapore site. Just yahoo or google and you will find either one of them at each otehr site.

Frankly, Christmas shopping to me, the discount isn't as fantastic as compared to GSS. Some malls or retailers already had their sales promotion before the Christmas season shopping. I usuaully buy my children's toy around this time when the offers are slightly better, not during the Christmas shopping season. I am not saying its not as good, but certain you find better deal. However, that's only my opinon.... If you are coming, why not enjoy whatever promotions that will be on afterall, its still a discount.

Singapore Universal Studios will be open in Dec 09.

Let's wait... Malaysia will sure lose to SG on tourism after this.

Not to mention about the 2 casinos to be open in SG.

I love Singapore.

how about malaysia tax if i buy something in singapore?

depend on kastam mood one.

orchard towers is happening

I agree with you. That place is

Avoid bring back shoes especially when still in their boxes.....Almost guarantee tax by customs

any idea how to avoid tax?

don't buy anything

Threat the new unit as old. or pay..ahem...& act relax and use the green lane.

Honestly, Singapore things are no longer as cheap as >15/20yrs ago due to the doubling of their currency & also lotsa computers parts are also duty free in M'sia...Most of the custom offcers at the border no longer as thorough as what they used to be in the 80' or 90'

if u buy sth make sure u pull out the price tag and dont put it back into the box/beg tat they gv .. just put it in the beg as it is an old thing if not sure kena charge

thanks bbmars for the opinion........thinking of going early december.......maybe the 1st of 2nd week........hope can find place to stay.......

jurlique,

do you know the exact date the universal studio will be open.......?

Take flight? If not, go through Tuas/Gelang Patah link? JB custom more kacau wan..

Anyway, best is don't buy lor... Coz even if M'sia custom don't tax, buy that time also kena GST le..

With MYR so weak, not cheap to shop in S'pore nowadays... Hmmm, now is the reverse, many S'porean come to M'sia to shop ah..

what is the lowest rates for the sing dollar ya? currently im only see around 2.4 only.

btw is sentosa island is where all the main attraction are? if so maybe i should just stay there. from the map i cant see a road connecting the island. how to go there?

yea, any recommended attraction besides Sentosa Island and Orchard road?

Geylang

Haha, when i 1st holidaying in SG, the rate only $1=RM1.10 nia...That time me only form 3. NTUC and few shopping ctr still receiving RM & sometime they dun charge ant surcharge at all...within 2 yrs, Rates increased to RM1.20>>RM1:50 & thereafter maintained ~RM1:70 till 1998....thereafter gone liao... ..nothing cheap for M'sian going to SG & suddenly everything in M'sia so cheap for Singaporean

Orchard's always nice..Ion Orchard rocks..Topman half price sale I think still on?

Basically u just go there and eat and eat and eat..Thats what I do..

i don't know what's so nice about ion orchard, been there 4-5 times but nothing impressive. is just a shopping mall
