This dirty old man drove from the side of the road and intentionally hit my left rear car door. He claims that I hit his car first. What a big joke! Malaysian driver bola! He confronted me and said that I should pay for his car damages. My car is Silver but his car has dents and scratches with ORANGE and RED paint.

It also said the majority in the queue were students, but a few working adults took the day off to catch the documentary being screened at the [email protected] hotel in Johor Baru, one of four cities where an annual Freedom Film Festival is being held.

Law-abiding citizens like me lose out. Perhaps the Singapore authorities should remove the three-quarter tank ruling. It is unlikely to cause much unhappiness across the Causeway as Singapore vehicles are restricted to buying the costlier and unsubsidised 97-octane petrol in JB.

FOR the first time, the Health Ministry (MOH) is planning to run its own nursing homes to help Singapore cope with the demands of a greying population. It is also looking into releasing land for new facilities and helping operators scale up more quickly, after revising its initial target of 15,600 beds by 2020 to 17,150 - a 10 per cent increase.

But the Iskandar region is different. The border town, three times the size of Singapore, has become almost an extension of home for many Singaporeans. “From my observation, there are 70 per cent Singaporeans and 30 per cent upper middle-class to upper class Malaysians here [Horizon Hills],” the property agent says.
