    🙏If you are travelling and carrying hand sanitizers or disinfectants in your checked baggage, make sure that the weight does not exceed 0.5 litres or 0.5 kg per article and 2.0 litres or 2.0 kg in total. For cabin baggage, the usual 100ml limit for liquids will apply. Practice good personal hygiene. Sanitise your hands regularly when you cannot always wash them with soap and disinfect a WC before use. Try disinfectant spray guns, hand sanitizers, and antibacterial dishwashing liquid.

    I thought Malaysians don't want Singaporeans to go. According to Facebook comments, they call us cheapskate or even thieves or robbers for buying up their cheap stuffs which are meant for their locals...

      Previously they can say that. But the 2 years border closure have clearly shown them that they need us more than we need them. We go there is for leisure but they NEED our patronage in order to survive. Just look at the state Johor was in during the 2 years, business closures, malls literally empty 😉 people have to hang out white flag to literally beg for food.

      @@umaiman3576 but other than being cheaper, what else can Malaysia offer? I am always looking for experience and I have climbed a number of mountains in Malaysia including Stong & Kinabalu. I wanted to experience eco tourism but seems like there are very very limited options in Malaysia. Even the NS highway is not really tourists friendly for self drive tourists. Please can you get your government to do something and don't waste the land?

    Singaporeans should explore other small cities in Johor like BP, Muar and other small towns like Yong Peng, Pontian, etc. No only things are a lot cheaper there, but you get to taste the local experience and taste 😊.

      @@tankman20064 They bring us to these places at the expenses of places of attractions. We didn't get to see places of attractions much. That is why j paid money to join the tour. The packet of sea cucumber, because of I saw aunties rushing to buy, I also bought. Ten years later still inside my refrigerator. Why keep buying things we don't need? Go for tour need not be about buying things. My bodoh friend insisted to go to a factory outlet instead of a theme park in Orlando, just thinking to save money of merchandise.
