102190 With its colourful fusion of races, Singapore represents a treasure trove of ethnic finds.
102191 Discover porcelain, masks and silk in the Chinese neighbourhoods; browse basket ware, Ikat cloth, batiks and leather ware in the Malay quarter; and find handicrafts and jewellery in the Indian section.
102192 For colourful swathes of Indonesian batik, visit Basharahil House of Batik; select your own custom-made scent at Jamal Kazura Aromatics; and enjoy Hindi music while shopping for glittery bangles at the Little India Arcade.
102195 You may want to embark on a scenic driving trip to Singapore yourself, especially if you reside in nearby cities in Malaysia or Thailand.
102196 If you’re driving a foreign-registered vehicle, you may have to acquire an Autopass card (a vehicle entry permit) at either the Woodlands or Tuas Checkpoint arrival zones before you enter Singapore.
102197 Be reminded that it is an offence to drive in Singapore without an Autopass Card for your foreign-registered vehicle.
102198 If you’re driving a foreign-registered commercial vehicle (such as a bus or goods vehicle), you only need to pay tolls using the Autopass card, while Singapore-registered vehicles need to pay tolls using the NETS CashCard.
102199 All vehicle entry permit (VEP) fees, toll charges and/or ERP charges need to be paid using the Autopass card and not the NETS Cashcard if you’re driving a foreign-registered vehicle.
102200 VEP fees are calculated on a daily basis and are not charged on Saturdays, Sundays and all Singapore Public Holidays.
102201 Since 2005, all drivers of foreign-registered vehicles can drive into Singapore for a maximum of 10 days in each calendar year without having to pay VEP fees.
