Singapore CusToms

So many hapenings since i last blogging and i will try to re cap the most important things... (one of the reason why i did not update my blog is i still want a 'few' good gentlemen to read my Niat part 2 story)...

Anyway....

last week i was driving down to Singapore with TA (a good buddy of mine) and his buddy from indonesia... we were driving from melaka. The Remote Control Helicopters (aeromodelling) team participating in the Singapore Aeromodelling Competition 2009 in Tuas, Singapore ...

We were using the second link to go into Singapore...

The plan was just go into Singapore to see the finals and the closing ceremony and head back to melaka as some one organises the melaka air Carnival (not so hapening event anyway)

Not knowing SG Customs Law... we were just chatting away thru the customs without checking my car if we got some ciggy box un opened or something... just my bad luck my car was inspected by one bloody nerd custom officer whom i guess desperate to get a job promotion or achieve high marks in his KPIs... he inspected my car in and out and found 2 ciggerete box not open ...frankly im not a smoker...onely smoke when im driving long distance/tired... he ask me to park my car and follow him to the custom office...

He even check my engine if im trying to smuggle more ciggy in my engine... tru dumbo!

well anyway to cut the 2 hour arguement short we end up being charge SGD 400 for the 2 boxes...

the thing is..even some singaporeans were cought and fined.... i have sent a letter anyway to the sg customs and also to straits times as this stupid law is not fair and for personal consumption i dont thing u should be fined SGD 400 for 2 box of ciggy...

Worst there was this chinese lady was cought bringing 'malaysian soil and plants'.. the customs took away her plants and fined her too... ciggy boxes i can understand... cant bring in plants from malaysia???

Are malaysian plants/soil too dirty for Singaporeans Government???

This i believe is too much!

A small island that once belongst to Malaya now thinks that their land is more pure than us.... too much...just too much...

Anyway by the time we get to the competition site...all has ended... but good news..Malaysia team won 1st and 3rd prize (all effort without malaysian gov funding)

anyways....with regards to sg customs interesting law... Shall i do something bout this...you bet!
