Malaysia - Johor - JB Sentral and City Square

PLEASE ASK PERMISSION BEFORE YOU RE POST MY PHOTOS ON TO YOUR BLOG. THERE ARE SOME BLOGGERS WHO DID NOT ASK MY PERMISSION AND REPOST MY PHOTOS WITHOUT THE COURTESY OF LINKING BACK TO MY BLOG. THIS IS LIKE STEALING. PEOPLE, I HAVE SPEND MUCH TIME TAKING PHOTOS AND DOING HOMEWORK ON MY TRAVELLING INFORMATION AND KINDLY SHARE THESE INFORMATION TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THEM. IF NECESSARY I WILL POST SCREEN SHOT OF YOUR BLOG TO SHOW YOUR BAD MANNERS OF STEALING MY PHOTOS. THE MOST DISGUSTING THING THEY DID WAS TO SCREEN SHOT MY PHOTO AND CORP OFF MY BLOG TITLE AND REPOST IN THEIR BLOG.

Buses make one stop each at Singapore immigration checkpoint and at Malaysian immigration checkpoint. At both immigration points, you must disembark with all your luggage and pass through passport control and customs, then board the next bus by showing your ticket. So do not throw or lost your tickets when you board any buses in any bus terminals or bus stops in Singapore or Malaysia otherwise you have to pay a new fare to board the bus.

For those who wanted to go JB Sentral or City Square, do not board the bus again at the Malaysian Custom. After clearing the Malaysian custom where you have your passport stamped and fingers scan (yes, this is the new regulation where they scan your index fingers on both hands), just follow the sign that read JB Sentral (see picture below). Once you had your fingers scan, they would paste a kind of sticker in your passport, do not tear any of the sticker, they will collect the sticker when you exit Malaysia.(Sometimes there are no stickers.)

We were so lucky as there was no long queue and everything went smoothly on that day.

You wont get lost here, just follow the signboard and you can get to your destination to shop at City Square Mall.

After exiting from the custom, we walked through JB Sentral with lots of shops and money exchange counters too.

Finally we saw the signboard that read City Square Mall, it takes about 10 minutes from the Malaysian Custom to City Square Mall. It was that easy.
