$cared?

S$

Now Malaysia wants to impose a RM20 toll for foreign cars. And who's complaining? Our neighbours due south. It's really quite amusing that we pay to enter the island but they can't pay to enter the mainland. Are they scared to lose money to us? We have and are doing them good by selling raw water to them all these years.

By the way, how on earth did we come to a business deal that let's us lose out by selling raw water and buying treated water? 0_0

Our government is trying to control fuel smuggling by imposing the levy. At this stage, it can be seen as a good move but only it will be only temporary. The only effective way is the old fashion screening of vehicles leaving the country. Get more personnel to peek into every corner of the vehicles. Neighbours, please cooperate. It's only a little more to spend each time you come here. Try car-pooling. It will also do everyone good by reducing gas emissions.

Hey, doesn't someone has hydrogen technology for cars?

your comment is too general ... have you considered the many malaysians working in singapore that has no choice but to own a singapore car ? they pay taxes in malaysia and that's how malaysia got its much needed foreign currency. to impose the RM20 toll indiscriminately would only penalise the malaysians - not the singaporeans.
