2.6 where?

Where have 2.6???!

Ppl say change from rm to sin is based on 2.6. Wonder why dun wan to read properly?

Me no understand. Can explain

u pay RM2.6 to get back 1 SGD. :s12::s12:

When you take your Sing$ to the money changer to change to RM, you are buying the RM and so the rate is 2.5x. You give him Sing$1, he gives you RM2.5x.

When you take your RM to the money changer to change back to Sing$, you are selling the RM, means you've to fork out more RM to get back your Sing$, thus the rate of 2.6. He gives you Sing$1, you've to give him RM2.6.

Got it?

I go over to JB jalan jalan almost weekly, and each time change max S$200 for 2 pax.

Whether it's 2.56 in town, or 2.54 in Kranji MRT station, or 2.53 in JB... the biggest difference is RM6 which works out to about S$2.40.

Looks like many of you change pretty big amounts, from all this running around town. :s11:

Or am I missing something? :s22:

For me, I change ard 4-5k while the rate r gd n use it when I go jb.

But for u, if count by quarterly n all add together, I think can plan to change 1 shot.
