Talk about the bolehland.


Actually on the way back from Kota Tinggi, while waiting at the traffic light to wait for the light to turn green, came a loud siren & a blinker behind our car. Husband panic, me panic and I guess everyone waiting at the traffic light also panic. Then came the voice speaking through the yeller (dont know what to call that) coming from the police car.

Blah blah blah blah…me and dh look at each other very confuse. Try to decipher what they are talking about. Are they asking us to move to the side for ticketing? Anyway, other car seems to understand what the police want and make way for the police car to move.

Boy, were we so relieve that the police car move away from our back. But then came the yeller again. In English this time & keke, this time the four of us understand what was being said. "Singapore car simply just don’t understand".

None of us understand what was being said. I simply presume by the action of others. When panic, the whole family brain simply freeze.

Hi, we bought the touch n go card a week before it became 'compulsory'. Just came back from Melaka.

When we reach the first kiosk, after the Tuas checkpoint, all the kiosks seem to have the 'Touch n Go' sign on them. There are any officers around. There no longer seems to have any cash-paying kiosks around anymore. It's safer if you get the card and top up to at least RM100.

We went there with RM100 value, stop shop eat at various towns, came back with less than RM30.

Winth, Where can we buy the 'Touch n Go' card since we have to use the card at the 1st kiosk? Does the 1st kiosk sell the card? Thanks

I got my parents who got their Malaysia friend to buy for me so I don’t know leh, sorry.


I think most of the rest kiosks, petrol stations will sell. That’s where they offer top up services as well.

They definitely don’t sell the touch n go cards at the gantries.

I think around 1.5-2 hrs. We dropped by some coffee shop for breakfast.

Stayed 2 nights at Pulai Desaru.

Rely very much on the Garmin GPS . Visited the crocodile farm, fruit farm, ostrich farm, firefly tour. The GPS Map/Sw also include restaurants at Teluk Sengat and Sungei Rengit

With ref to Touch and Go , you can buy at the Malaysia Checkpoint (via Woodlands) . There is some specific counter with signboard , but i didnt take note of it and got into a \"non-selling\" counter. I have to get out of my car and go to that counter and purchased it, come back to my car and scanned the touch and Go. It cost $10 rm for a new card and i think $2+ for entry into Malaysia. There is no toll to Desaru.
