May I know how the Malasian Custom scan our finger for behind passengers? Is it with a portable scanner that pass it to the behind passengers to scan?

 

[cscs3]

actually, i think it is call holiday plaza, the place that sell friendly dvds.
dunno why people call it holiday inn, maybe last time the hotel beside it is called holiday inn.

Yes correct. Last time the hotel call Holiday Inn.

U meant rear seat passenger(s)? The rear seat passenger(s) have to alight from the car, when the officer call for the name, the person with the name being called should approach to the counter infront of the officer than the officer will indicate using his own hand that he require both index fingerprint.

Went in last Tuesday by bus. Traffic jam after SG custom, but bus lane no jam, bus went all the way into MY custom. Queue for 25min to clear. Both way, had my finger scanned. however, my anuties came back earlier than me wasn't asked to scan on the way back.

tt one is it as good as the one along taman sri tebrau?

 

[idone2u]

I think about the same- some people say Ah Soon BKT is not the best in JB - there are others better - have not tried others yet...

anyway for that price cannot get in Singapore lor... so still very nice

Actually some of their customs officer quite funny one in Msia . I remember once my car was playing this song . Then the malay customs officer still can shake and swing his body + head and sing while stamping our passport . This happened when me and my friends wanted to head in for massage .

He still can say , " Bro , this song now hot hot in JB . " I just reply " uh uh sia . "

Where is a "safe" place for Singaporean car to park and buy cheap groceries in JB?

 

[idone2u]

Most places are OK... u can go to KSL city - parked at their basement carpark or top story cp. or go to the Giant behind Pelangi - open air carpark.

Buy one of those steering wheel lock can can be seen at your windscreen...
