Inflation Across the Causeway
I was across the Causeway with my family over the weekend. I would like to make it clear that this trip was not to exploit the favourable exchange rate and government subsidies, but was in search of things that we are unable to find in Singapore. (Malaysians hold on to slightly more traditions than Singapore, and my mom was there looking for some traditional items for my brother’s upcoming nuptials) We crossed in Malaysia via the Causeway. One would immediately notice the reduced traffic on it. It appears that not as many Singaporeans are heading up north, and we were across both checkpoints in 45 mins. This was mainly due to the stringent Mas checks on the Singapore end. There was no jam on the Causeway, and we cleared Malaysian customs almost immediately. There was less traffic on the Malaysian roads. With the price of petrol these days, I think a lot less Malaysians are out and about. This was the same situation in the shopping centre we visited. Less Singaporeans, and a lot of empty parking lots.
