Going to Singapore/Malaysia
Quoting mag3 regarding Going to
Singapore/Malaysia in a message dated Tue, 09 Mar 2004 23:13:49 -0500: OK - Have set up an Itinerary for Singapore/Malaysia for later this year. Have some questions for those in the know as follows: FINAL UPDATE: Thanks to all who helped, and to AJC for the SQ schedule, of which I availed myself nicely. I think I wasn't seeing the morning flights before because I chose "ALL DAY" for the time selection instead of "Morning." Weird, but... My only problem now is, since I booked the flight *before* I registered to be a Kris Flyer (didn't know if I wanted to be a KF when I made the booking), now I can't see the itinerary when I log onto the KF page and their Tech support people say they can't link it!!! UGGGHH!!! I thought perhaps I could link it myself like I can on the CO website but no such luck! Ah well, live and learn. Thanks again. __________________________________ Regards, Arnold.

Going to Singapore/Malaysia
Taking drugs into Singapore or Malaysia will get you the death sentence.
There is no exception to the rule. (Sometimes wish they would do this here As well) Our agent in Malaysia will not accept publicity DVD's or videos as they have to be watched in their entirety to prevent pornography that would offend Moslem morality. At one time satellite broadcast were banned in Malaysia for the same reason. There was an article in the Malaysian Straights Times suggesting that woks over 12 inch diameter were to be banned as they might be used to receive satellite broadcasts. I was told that the Singapore customs would confiscate pirate CD's and software from the J.B. market if they found it. However there was plenty of it around in the Singapore computer area. -- John Grove |

(Sometimes wish they would do this here As well) Well, trafficking certain drugs in certain quantities will render a death sentence. As long as the meds are for personal use and accompanied by the appropriate documentation, I'm now confident I won't have any problems. It's just that now I have to go through the extra hassle of getting my doctor to write a letter of authorization for the meds I take. But I suppose it's much less hassle than dealing with the rotan cane! Our agent in Malaysia will not accept publicity DVD's or videos as they have to be watched in their entirety to prevent pornography that would offend Moslem morality. At one time satellite broadcast were banned in Malaysia for the same reason. I'm wondering though if the average tourist gets the same kind of scruitny comming through customs. From what I'm hearing here, it doesn't appear so. We'll see soon enough. I'm not worried about this one though - I can censor myself well in advance. There was an article in the Malaysian Straights Times suggesting that woks over 12 inch diameter were to be banned as they might be used to receive satellite broadcasts. Ah, interesting! I tell ya, something about "necessity being the mother of invention!" I was told that the Singapore customs would confiscate pirate CD's and software from the J.B. market if they found it. However there was plenty of it around in the Singapore computer area. Again, not a concern. I'm all legit there and have no need to buy sofware or pirated CDs. __________________________________ Regards, Arnold.

I have been to Malaysia 6 times in the last 3 years, and to Singapore 5 times, and I have always been waved through at customs. Sjoerd |
