SINGAPORE : Fancy a shopping spree in Singapore?

The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) wants to make this easier by offering a free shuttle service from its Singapore Visitor Centre in Johor Bahru to Orchard Road.

The service is to encourage Malaysian visitors to enjoy Christmas shopping in Singapore.

In conjunction with the shuttle service, they will also enjoy rebates and discounts at major department stores like Tangs, Robinsons and John Little.

They will also have a chance to purchase specially priced designer gift sets and enjoy a complimentary Christmas Light-Up Tour.

The free shuttle service does three trips a day on weekdays and six trips daily on weekends. It will run till Jan 1, 2007.

The number of Malaysian visitors was almost 600,000 last year, an increase of 7% from 2004.

Malaysia ranks sixth in terms of Singapore's visitor generating markets. - CNA /ls

From Woodlands to Johor by train in three minutes?

SINGAPORE: Forget about the hour-long Causeway jams. In three years, Singaporeans may be able to take a train and zip across from Woodlands to Johor in less than three minutes.
SMRT and a Johor construction company are in talks to erect 3-4 km-long monorail track linking Singapore's MRT stations at Woodlands or Kranji to Johor Baru's new RM3 billion monorail system.

If the plan goes through, the monorail - for which construction is scheduled to begin next year - will be elevated across the Johor Straits and curve into the Kranji area.

A deal between SMRT Corporation and Johor transport construction company Jalur Mudra Sdn Bhd (JM) - which will build the Johor monorail - could be clinched within the "next couple of months", JM's executive director Nebojsa Novakovic told TODAY.

An SMRT spokesperson added: "We are open to various forms of partnership and are waiting for details regarding the project from Jalur Mudra Sdn Bhd for our consideration."

Among the issues that need to be ironed out will be the customs and immigrations procedures - all-seater trains have been suggested to simplify matters - as well as the structure of the deal itself.

SMRT has already submitted a letter of intent to JM, indicating that it is keen to be part of the project.

There have been no political roadblocks so far. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had recently remarked on the "mixed signals" coming out of Johor over Singapore's participation in its mega development project.

"JM has informed the Johor State Government of SMRT's proposal and there has been no objection so far," said Mr Novakovic.

Nor will the past disputes between Singapore and Malaysia over the Causeway and a proposed bridge stand in the way, he indicated.

According to sources, SMRT has offered to take up an equity stake of up to 45 per cent in the project. However, they say the Johor State Government is likely to cap SMRT's stake at 15 per cent.

The project will be 30% owned by the Johor Baru City Council (MBJB), which will provide the land and right of way, but not money, said Mr Novakovic.

To make things simpler, this initiative will be privately funded.

"It has to be financially viable as it is politically doable. This fits very nicely into the master plan of SMRT and JM. There is no government funding from either side. So far there has been no stumbling blocks," said Mr Novakovic.

Another possibility is for JM to engage SMRT as a technology partner or business consultant.

"It's most likely to be all of the above options," said Mr Novakovic.

JM is now waiting to sign official concession agreements, after which it will try to hammer out its deal with SMRT, subject to approval from authorities.

Analysts think it's a lucrative project.

"This will be a profitable line because of the traffic. Everyday, you have 50,000 people commuting across the Causeway. With the monorail, even more people will cross the Causeway during the weekends," said a transport analyst at a foreign bank. - /dt

FACTS about the Johor Baru Monorail:

The Johor Baru monorail, which travels at a speed of 100km per hour is faster than Singapore's MRT and will be based on the "maglev" or magnetic levitation technology. In this, magnetic forces lift, propel and guide trains over an elevated guideway.

The monorail will initially serve a 13.5km stretch from the state capital to AEON Tebrau City in the proposed logistics hub. Another 50km of railway lines will be added subsequently to serve other parts of the state. The Singapore link will be about 3km-to-4km long.

STOMPer witnesses robbery action in JB

A group of men sprung into action near the Woodlands Checkpoint on the Johor Baru side on Sunday evening (Dec 3) to help catch a thief who had snatched away a woman抯 handbag.

The man, who was in his mid-20s, grabbed his victim抯 bag and darted across the main road leading to the Causeway, which was then packed with vehicles waiting to enter Singapore.

A group of passers-by chased after him and some of them managed to block his escape route.

Several men used their motorcycle helmets to hit the thief and roughed him up by shoving him against the wall.

Singaporean Chng Kang Hai, 30, was in a coach heading into Singapore when he saw the chase through the windows.

The assistant manager at accounting firm KPMG, who was returning from Malacca with his family, said: 揟he women on the coach were a bit frightened by the incident because we would have to get off the bus soon to clear immigration.
