Some useful Singapore Information

MRT (Mass Rapid Transit)

Map of MRT railway line

Going to Singapore Zoo
  • Get down at Choa Chu Kang (red line MRT)
  • Go to Bus Interchange next to Choa Chu Kang. Take bus 927. Last stop is at the Zoo
  • Tickets are priced at s$15 per adult and s$7.50 per child

Going to Malaysia from Singapore via bus

  • Routes: One can go to Malaysia via two routes - Causeway Link and Second Link. Causeway Link will take you to Johor Bahru in Malaysia. Second Link links Tuas in Singapore with Geyland Patah in Malaysia
  • Individual travel usually go via Causeway Link. Second Link is not for individual travellers! Only Trucks and Packaged tour Bus ply on this route.
  • Getting Visa: Get your visa before going to Malaysia. There is no provision yet for visa on arrival via Causeway Link. I have heard that vai Second Link, one can get visa on arrival.
  • For US no visa is needed. For Indians the visa cost about s$33. For Taiwan, visa cost is s$48 as Malaysia does not recognize Taiwan as a country so they have to issue the travel document.
  • In Singapore, Malaysia Counsulate has outsourced the visa process to selected Travel Agents. It takes three business days to get visa. I went to Mustafa Air Travel near Farrer Park MRT station to get the visa. The customer service via phone is pretty bad.
  • Going to Malaysia: From MRT red line, get down at Kranji station. From there take 170 or 160 (going to Johor Bahru).
  • This will take you to Woodland check point in 5-10 minutes. Every one has to get down to get the immigration formalities done in Singapore side. Take 170 or 160 again to Johor Bahru checkpoint. Every one has to get down to get Malaysia immigration formalities done.
  • You are in now in Malaysia!

Hi everyone

"What is the Ka'ba?"

The Ka'ba is the place of worship which God commanded Abraham and Ishmael to build over four thousand years ago. The building was constructed of stone on what many believe was the original site of a sanctuary established by Adam. God commanded Abraham to summon all mankind to visit this place, and when pilgrims go there today they say 'At Thy service, O Lord', in response to Abraham's summons.
