No need bring much cash. If win more than 10k usd equivalent, no need declare liao...just pop by cimb Malaysia deposit. Hahahaah...that's the ultimate goal of the acct. Muahahahaa

Always uses ICC Malaysia sim card. Can be bought from Qoo10.
That's my go-to sim card vendor too. :)
3 to 3.99 sgd depending on promo for 3 days. Super decent connection. Can be top up online also. But havent tried before.

Sometimes I do use starhub 5 buck 3-day roaming.

Gona get a prepaid Malaysian sim instead. More economical in the long run I guess instead of limited to 3-day usage.
Why I see ICC is $5.99 for 3 days?

Then starhub minimum is $15 happy roaming card?

You are probably looking at the data plus call. 3.99 is pure data without a Malaysian number.

Not sure about happy roaming. I use the 5 bucks type activated from the starhub app for starhub subscribers only.

Solitaire Suite by Transtar is most comfortable as it is luxury coach. Food and drinks served and can watch movie. But need to change at foot of mountain as doubledeck not allowed.

Best without need to change coach would be the Transtar SuperZ.

Can go Transtar website to see
http://www.transtar.travel/coach/

You can use this website to check out prices and where the pickup and drop-off points the various companies have.

If redeem a set meal at Good Friends restaurant but never utilize, will the GP be returned to your account? Any idea?

Yeah baby...hahaha. really the best deal. Now it's 3.05!! tks for the advice previously. I feel so rich and powerful now! Gona conquer uncle lim!! Lolol

Lol...no worries, good thing must share - but some ppl are just skeptical abt the rate when i share it here earlier - but then it's double-edged sword - with top exchange-rate & easy cash access, there is always risk of losing control & cleaning out yr savings account.

Thus, be cautious - best is to withdraw a one time lump-sum bankroll and take tat as yr limit... otherwise, yr account will eventually be wiped clean in double quick time.

I went to CIMB Orchard branch this evening. Was told the following :

1. They can't open the CIMB Malaysia account but can help to submit the documents for account opening and it is subject to approval.

2. Takes upto 6 weeks but might be faster like 1 to 2 weeks. Depends on Malaysia side.

3. As for the debit card cum ATM card, need to call some Malaysia number to activate. There is a charge of RM 15 per year for the debit card.

4. SG account can link to facilitate transfer to Malaysia account but Malaysia internet banking is separate from SG.

In the end I did not proceed to open. I don't spend a lot and don't go Malaysia that often so the savings is not much. Maybe worth the effort for those who play a lot at casino or shop at JB. I can still withdraw using my CIMB SG ATM card for emergency.

Wow good RM20 only.

Can use Martingale strategy to earn Genting points.

Wait for high Player result no. low Banker Game.

After 2 times Banker, bet on Player.

If open another 7 times banker, loss RM2520 = S$840 only.

If that happen, that mean you damn Suay

Total open 9 Bankers.

I'm m1 and the data passport is not worth it. So thought of getting tourist SIM card.

Oh..I saw another one from ICC $5.99 data with call..should be this one..tks. :)

Tooping up is easy, just need to install the hotlink app and topup using credit/debit card. Last month, they have a great promo, 10RM (or 15) FOR 64GB.
