You do need to hire a driver. Taxis from Larkin Bus Station and at JB near City Square. (I forgot the name of the place) can drive to Singapore.an6tzz wrote: 4. MANY years later, If my business failed, and need to come back to Singapore to work...
4.a. Since my CPF is intact, I can try to apply for PR again
4.b. Else any work pass will do
+1 to that. I can't believe you want to give up your SPR just because it will be expensive to own a car in Singapore.ksl wrote:A taxi or a driver is your best bet! You would be silly to give up your PR could be more costly if you became ill!

Ofcourse not. The op mentioned at times he needs to bring his father for medical checkup. For all we know the "at times" could just be as rare once in 6 months during which time he can use taxi, but for sudden client visits the bike can be used. The cost of owning a motorcycle here is peanuts compared to a car, so its not additional for cost for him.Mad Scientist wrote:@revhappyan6tzz wrote: Since SPR are not allowed to drive foreign-registered vehicle in Singapore.

Would you want to pillion your 80 year old father on a motorcycle crossing the Woodlands Causeway for medical check up ??![]()
Yeah if you own it in Singapore but as you and I know going thru both customs even at times peak or non peak hours with all those Malaysian motorcylists approx 20K a day either way can be very challenging. Or are you wanting to sell your motorcycle to himrevhappy wrote: Ofcourse not. The op mentioned at times he needs to bring his father for medical checkup.

During Peak hours I agree, its a nightmare to go accross the causeway, but outside the peak hours its a breeze. I know it because my bike drinks only Malaysian fuel My bike has an 18 Ltrs tank and its delivers close to 50 kms/Ltr and I ride about 50 kms a day. So I top up my tank in JB once every 3 weeks.![]()
I am going to keep my motorcycle as long as I am in Singapore. I shudder the very thought of using public transport for going from AMK to Changi Business Park. It would take me a close to 1 hour and 10 mins. On my bike its just 20 mins cruise over the TPE![]()
BTW your signature line needs to be corrected as I am not sure what are you trying to say
Bila disitu ada kemauan disitu ada lebuhraya means
When there is a will there will be highway. Is this what you want to say ?
Looks funny though
Or
Dimana ada kemahuan disana ada kemajuan means
Where there is a will , there is progress
OR
Dimana ada jalan disana ada lebuhraya
If there is a road it will lead to a highway
So which is which? I am an Indonesian btw so I pretty much understand Malay

Google translate cheated me, then![]()
I intended to say "Where there is a will there is a highway"

That could be one expensive gamble if/when you get caught!
