01:39 This strata title thing, is to similar to the PLS thing you guys discussed a couple of weeks back? How come pay RM1.4 million still need to apply for permit to renovate my own home?
03:30 I see the houses all no gates, cars just parked there, totally don’t look like the Johor Bahru I know. Makes me feel very uneasy, like anytime can get burglared.
My wife said the developer told her that the bungalows don’t have their own personal gate. The estate is gated with security guards. There are police patrols around the estates. Every month need to pay for all these services.

I was with some humanoid robot investors in China. Future just buy 2 of such robots and I think no one dare to come near your house. Robots don’t need angpow, no need take leave and they don’t run away from danger

I think this new policy will resolve the current problems to a great extent, though more details like the costs have not been announced.

Essentially,
A Singapore cross-border taxi will be able to pick you up from anywhere in Singapore and send you to anywhere in Malaysia (all the way to the Thai border?), but you will only be able to board a Singapore taxi at Larkin (more boarding points to be decided later) to return to anywhere in Singapore.

A Malaysian cross-border taxi will only be able to pick you up from Queen Street terminal in Singapore but can send you to anywhere in Malaysia. You will be able to board a Malaysian cross-border taxi anywhere in Malaysia and it will be able to send you to anywhere in Singapore.

Allowed to be Anywhere is a big loop hole for taxi to stay to take bookings after they finished their journey. This will disadvantage sg taxi with unfair competitions.
I bet jhk taxi will not stop at one booking given their records
So after so much ding dong, back to square ONE!
Wake up!

Like I stated, details are lacking at this moment. It is premature to judge that one side suffers a disadvantage already and dismiss this agreement outright as useless. We will have to see if limitations are applicable so that either side will not have any advantage over the other. Usually our side emphasise that such arrangements must be reciprocal.
Even under the current arrangement, Singapore taxi drivers do not want to do the business for various reasons.
