Re: Cheong Safely in JB
if you are driving Singapore car I suppose you can ignore all the summons because your road tax is not renew in JB. Police and Parking warden are not linked? so I suppose any police spot check no action will be taken.

Burglar-proof licence plates help motorists evade traffic laws
Report from The STAR dated 8 December 2012 :-
Burglar-proof licence plates help motorists evade traffic laws KUALA LUMPUR: People will go to great lengths to break the law, it seems. Even as the fuss over the Automated Enforcement System (AES) is ongoing, a new gadget is being sold online to help motorists evade traffic laws and avoid being caught on camera. The Taiwan-made device is billed as a “burglar-proof licence plate” but it might as well be called an “automated escape system” for speed fiends. It obscures a vehicle’s front and back number plates or either one at the press of a button. Users are supposed to activate it when they see a warning sign of a speed trap camera. A black fabric scrolls down to cover the plate, like a simpler version of the revolving number plates on the Aston Martin DB5 used in James Bond’s Goldfinger and Thunderball movies of the 1960s. The gadget, which costs RM400 and is relatively simple to install in less than hour, has become a hot-selling item with the enforcement of the AES. It is being marketed via a Facebook account which lists the mobile phone number of agents in the Klang Valley. There are also dealers in Johor and Pahang. Motorists can also take the device to auto accessory shops to have them installed for about RM30. The Star met with one agent in Bandar Sri Damansara who had a number of units in his car’s boot. The man, in his 40s, explained how to fix the plate cover, wires and the metal frame and how to test it before use. “Initially, I sold one or two units to close friends via Facebook but now the demand is good due to the AES and I sell about 15 units a day,” he said. He also offered other law-breaking “advice”, like places where speed traps were located along the North-South Expressway and the Karak Highway. “If you are going to Johor Baru, cover the front number plate as the speed cameras only capture from the front. If you are heading to Kuantan, Pahang, cover the back number plate as the cameras shoot from the back,” he said. Selangor Road Transport Department public relations officer Ahmad Awang said covering the number plate was an offence under the Road Transport Act 1987. “Offenders can be summoned and ordered to remove them. It is an offence if the plates are partially covered and even if the size of the letters or numbers are changed and cannot be seen clearly. “If caught, offenders will have to remove the gadget and bring the vehicle for inspection within a stipulated time,” he added. ----- KatoeyNewsNetwork |

AES cameras to be installed at 100 areas in Johor
Report from The New Straits Times dated 10 December 2012 :-
AES cameras to be installed at 100 areas in Johor JOHOR BARU: Johor Road Transport Department (RTD) will install 100 Automated Enforcement System (AES) cameras along roads in the state next month. Johor RTD director, Johari Yusof, said the cameras would be installed at 100 black spots around Johor Baru north, Kulaijaya and Batu Pahat, before the operation is expanded to the rest of the state. "Of the 100 cameras, 68 will be located at the hot spots to nab speeding drivers while the remaining will be installed near traffic lights in these districts," he said, hoping that with this implementation of the AES, more motorists would be mindful about speeding. "The system will help to educate road users on safety. At the same time, footage from the system could be used in the court as evidence on offences committed." ----- KatoeyNewsNetwork |

Singapore to remain Malaysia's most important source of foreign tourist arrival
Report from The New Straits Times dated 4 january 2013 :-
Singapore to remain Malaysia's most important source of foreign tourist arrival SINGAPORE: Tourism Malaysia expects Singapore to remain the most important source of foreign tourist arrivals in Malaysia, registering more than 50 per cent of total arrivals annually. Its director for Singapore, Zalizam Zakaria, said more Singaporeans were expected to visit Malaysia in the coming years, especially during Visit Malaysia Year 2013-2014. Malaysia ranks third, after Indonesia and China, for Singapore tourist arrivals. Zalizam said 7.930 million tourist arrivals from Singapore were recorded between January and August last year, a drop of 7.5 per cent compared to the corresponding period in 2011. He explained that the decrease was due to the change of the "Country of Residence" to "Country of Nationality" in the data registration/entry format by the Malaysian Immigration Department from January last year. "Since more than 25 per cent of Singapore residents are expatriates or foreigners, their visits to Malaysia has been registered under their own respective countries. "This new format will no longer require visitors to fill up the embarkation card, thus smoothening the process at the Malaysian CIQ (Customs, Immigration and Quarantine) complex and make the visit more interesting and enjoyable with less hassle," he said. Zalizam also said that Malaysia and Singapore had been complementing each other in the tourism sector. He said the opening of new products/attractions in Malaysia, such as the Johor Premium Outlet, Legoland, KidZania and Hello Kitty Town (Cartoon Character) at Puteri Harbour, offered a variety of choices to Singaporeans to spend their weekends and holidays in Malaysia. ----- KatoeyNewsNetwork |

DVD sellers make big bucks by mailing pirated consignments to Singaporeans
Report from The STAR dated 12 January 2013 :-
DVD sellers make big bucks by mailing pirated consignments to Singaporeans JOHOR BARU: DVD sellers are raking in thousands each month from Singaporeans who want their pirated DVDs to be delivered across the Causeway. DVD sellers, especially at major shopping malls and hypermarkets in the city centre, have been providing the delivery service to Singaporeans for the last few years. They are now using courier service to send the DVDs to avoid getting caught by the Malaysian and Singaporean authorities. A DVD seller, who wants to be known as Tan, said his customers were mostly Singaporeans and he has been delivering their orders for the last five years. He pointed out that, previously, he would send the DVDs directly to his customers in Singapore but now had to change his tactics due to stringent checks at the Causeway, as it is much safer and the risks of getting caught were minimum. “If our Singaporean customers ordered more than 20 DVDs we would charge them about S$3 (RM7.50) per DVD and if they ordered more than 50 DVDs then it is about S$2.50 (RM6.25) per DVD on top of the normal RM5 for movies or RM8 for a television series. “This is to cover the delivery cost and we would put the DVDs into a box filled up with polystyrene foam before sending it,” he said. Another DVD seller, who wants to be known as Ramli, said that Singaporeans preferred buying the pirated DVDs here as it was cheap and the quality was good. He added that the strict anti-piracy laws in the island republic also prompted many Singaporeans to cross the Causeway to buy DVDs in Johor. “Pirated DVDs are not sold openly in Singapore unlike here which is why many Singaporeans prefer ordering from us,” he said. Johor Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry (KPDNKK) director Ayub Abd Rahman said that the ministry's hands are tied as the DVD sellers are exporting it to another country. “The ministry could only take action against sellers who displayed the pirated DVDs on shelves. “However to tackle this problem, the ministry has set up a taskforce where it conducts surveillance and operations at known hotspots where such DVDs are sold,” he said. ----- KatoeyNewsNetwork |
