Tempting to change my stock wheel, but a bit (actually not a bit only) worry how the aftermarket wheel/rim can stand the long distance and Malaysia road condition. Any input and sharing is appreciated. TIA

http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/vehicles-with-illegal-mods-to-undergo-more-frequent-inspections SINGAPORE - From next month (Nov 1), motorists caught with illegally-modified engines or exhaust systems in their vehicles for a second or subsequent time will be subjected to more frequent mandatory vehicle inspections. Under this enhanced inspection regime, second-time offenders will be required to bring their vehicles for mandatory inspections every six months for a period of two years, while third-time or subsequent offenders will need to bring their vehicles for mandatory inspections every three months for a period of two years. This represents a more stringent inspection regime as compared to that for normal vehicles, which are typically inspected once every one or two years, depending on their age and type. "Any owner who does not comply with the inspection regime is guilty of an offence and can be fined up to $1,000 or jailed for up to three months on conviction for the first offence," the Land Transport Authority said in a statement Wednesday (Oct 28). "On conviction for a second or subsequent offence of failing to comply, the maximum penalty will be doubled." This latest move will complement existing penalties to deter motorists from modifying their vehicle engines or exhaust systems illegally. Any person who is convicted of an illegal modification can be fined up to $2,000 or jailed for up to three months, for the first offence. Repeat offenders can be fined up to $5,000 or jailed up to six months. In addition, if a vehicle is found with a tampered engine, it will need to be deregistered and the owner may not be granted scrap rebates. The LTA said illegal modifications can create serious safety and environmental hazards. Once a vehicle's engine or exhaust system is modified without due certification and approval, the existing vehicle components may not be able to handle the increased power or speed. Such modifications may also affect the durability and reliability of a vehicle. Currently, motorists may choose to legally install aftermarket exhaust systems that are certified to be suitable for the specific vehicle make and model. These exhaust systems, which are specifically designed and engineered for a particular vehicle make and model, will have undergone testing either by the vehicle manufacturer or by independent test laboratories, to ensure compliance with internationally recognised standards.

Hi All, Which car park have the most freuquent check by HDB or URA Officers? I had ever spoke to one of the Wilson Parking Officers & he said every 2 hours conduct check even the car parking it is EPS system. Somehow I believe if we enter a coupon parking car park we should be given at least 10 minutes of free parking. Reason is that EPS parking have 10 minute grace period, coupon parking should be entitled to. This area some how is lacking & should be improve to benefit for all the motorists.

I'm considering embarking a new job which requires me to travel frequently to Japan and Taiwan. As I may be stationed there for a long period (of course less than the permitted visitor stay) each visit from time to time, anyone has any experience in reentering the country if this is done in long term? It's hard to find any information on what is the permitted visit a year since I would assume this is case by case basis.

Caveat emptor. Sorry to hear that this old gentlemen had had a bad experience but he should have insisted to know the price instead of just relying on the owner's words.

Guys, take note, at 0015hrs today, after clearing exit customs at MY side, drove off about 200m and did my usual check on the exit stamp. Realized that my touch and go card was missing, I am absolutely certain that the customs officer took it. Sharing my experience so that frequent travellers to JB can take note, do not keep valuables like IC, Cashcard, touch and go card etc in the card compartments that you have in your passport cover. These guys will just take about anything that has monetary value... Lost RM21, small amount, but pisses me off.

SHAH ALAM, MALAYSIA: The state government will investigate claims that some budget hotels in the state have installed hidden cameras in rooms to capture sexual acts of unsuspecting couples. The images are then said to be burnt onto video compact discs and sold. State Tourism, Environment and Consumer Affairs Committee chairman Elizabeth Wong said she would be holding meetings with the Association of Budget Hotels soon to determine if the allegations were true. "Such activities can adversely affect tourism and cannot be condoned." As a matter of policy, closed-circuit television cameras should only be installed at the entrance of hotels and hallways, but never in rooms, Wong said after the weekly state executive council meeting. The matter came to light yesterday in a Harian Metro front-page report which claimed some budget hotels in several states had hidden cameras installed in rooms for the purpose of recording the sexual activities of guests. The report stated that the recordings were then sold to DVD and VCD pirates for between RM1,000 and RM3,000. On another matter, state Local Government and Research Committee chairman Ronnie Liu said a show-cause letter had been issued to a newly-appointed local councillor in Klang who allegedly stopped enforcement officers from demolishing a tea stall purportedly belonging to his daughter. -NST THE police will investigate claims that budget hotels in Klang are being used to film couples having sex before selling the footage to pornographic VCD and DVD sellers. Klang OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Mat Yusop said police had not received any reports of rooms at budget hotels in Klang being fitted with hidden cameras to capture couples in action before this. "The report in the Malay daily is the first that we have heard of such incidents taking place and since it is illegal to have such cameras in hotel rooms we will definitely carry out investigation soon," he said. He said fitting rooms with cameras without the knowledge of the occupants was a serious offence as it was an invasion of privacy. He said the making and selling of pornographic VCDs and DVDs was another offence and the police wanted to put a stop to it if the claims were true. He said police would also interview the journalist who wrote the article to shed more light on the matter and assist in investigations. It was reported in a Malay daily yesterday that some budget hotels in Klang had special rooms fitted with hidden cameras placed in the television set and the air-condition unit. The DVDs and VCDs were sold for between RM10 and RM18 each and featured mostly teenagers and students from institutions of higher learning. The journalist, who claimed to have gone undercover and spoken to some hotel owners, wrote that a 23 volume set of DVDs of the sex romp was worth up to RM3,000, besides the royalties on each copy sold. -The Star
