Airlines
Airasia has some cheap rates for flights to Singapore & Malaysia. Subscribe their newsletter to
get updated periodically.
Food
The cheapest and best food in Singapore comes from the plentiful food courts and hawker
centres. They’re clean, offer lots of variety, open until late, and nearly everything costs under
S$5. Start the day with a hearty breakfast of nasi lemak or a toast set (soft boiled eggs, kaya
toast, and coffee) — they cost around S$3 each.
Drinking
Give your liver a break — alcohol is highly taxed in Singapore. At a supermarket or hawker
2/9

3. centre a big bottle of Tiger beer runs around S$5, but in a bar or nightclub a small bottle can
easily exceed S$10 or S$12 for a mixed drink. Keep an eye open for weeknight promotions and
happy hours when drinks and pints are usually 1-for-1 (that’s Singapore-speak for ‘buy one get
one free’).
Accommodation
Accommodations are a big expense. The popular hostels in Little India, Chinatown, and Bugis
charge around S$20 for a bunk and breakfast. Private rooms start from S$50 at hostels and
guesthouses or S$80 at a budget hotel. Try Roomsnet.com to find cheap hotels in Singapore. (

Getting around Singapore
Singapore has excellent public transportation — take advantage of it! Tourists can purchase a
Tourist Pass valid for unlimited rides on the MRT and all buses for only S$8 per day (1, 2, or 3
days) plus a refundable S$10 deposit. The double-decker tourist bus charges S$23 for an
all-day ticket, but double-decker city buses #7 and #111 do a similar loop down Orchard,
through the CBD, and to the Esplanade for just S$1.50.
Steven asks…
hotels/places to live in malaysia?

kuala lumpur airport….where and what is the nearest place to stay with? And what are also the
places to visit near kuala lumpur? any recommendations?
3/9

4. Cuti-cuti Malaysia answers:
No, go to Palace Hotel or Garden City Hotel in centre of Kuala Lumpur. Rate in first one is
RM100 per night and for second one RM115. They’re both nice and located in centre of the
city.
Upon arrival at airport go to one of the tourist information counters and tell them your
requirements, they’ll find you a suitable hotel. Don’t say you want a cheap hotel, then they’ll
send you to what locals refer to as “hotel apek”, which costs you from RM30-50 per night, but
it’s disgustingly dirty, you’ll have to share room with cocroaches, you get all worn-out towels,
TV has poor quality porn at night, which is illegal in Malaysia and they often hub prostitution
what means that police may raid your place.
Since KLIA (airport) is located around 70km outside KL, you’ll have to get to the city by bus or
KLIA express train (RM35 per person) or taxi. Taxi costs you from RM60 to 80, depends on your
luck and negotiating skills. Mind that Malaysians normally see tourists as walking bags of money
and that especially Malays think that everything, incliding your money, belongs to them, so
they’ll most probably try to overcharge you. Always negotiate the price before getting into a
taxi. Taxi drivers in KL are normally rude, so don’t take things so hard, and Chinese cabbies
don’t like to talk much.
Beware of snatch thieves and pickpockets. Although violent crimes are rare in Malaysia, petty
crimes are very common and it’s almost impossible to retrieve stolen possessions and police is
no help, since most of policemen are racists and they’ll be more than happy to see you in
trouble. Don’t trust locals unless they are educated Chinese. If somebody tries to rob you, beat
him up badly and call police to lock him up, otherwise he might call his gang and try his luck
again.
Places to see around KL: National Mosque, Wilayah Mosque, Chinatown at Petaling street,
Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower, shopping boulevard of Bukit Bintang, if you like clubbing go
to Zouk off Jalan Ampang, National Museum, old railway station nearby National mosque,
shopping at Berjaya Times Square and Midvalley, Sunway Lagoon and Sunway Piramid in
Subang Jaya slightly outside KL; if you have extra time go to Genting Highlands where you’ll
find a large amusement park (bus available from Pudu Raya bus station in KL). I don’t
recommend you visiting the new capitol of Putrajaya, since there’s nothing to see except for
gigantic government buildings, it’s hot and very expensive compare to other places in Malaysia.
All tourist informations are available at the airport. Don’t be surprised to be over-flooded with
propaganda when you arrive. Always tell locals Malaysia is a beautiful place and Malaysians are
wonderful people and you’ll make them happy. Don’t speak how your coutry is much more
developped than Malaysia and how things are better in your country. It’ll make them think
you’re boasting and they’ll hate you. Don’t ever discuss local politics, it can get you in trouble,
4/9

5. don’t criticise government and don’t question the privileges of Malays over other races.
Malaysia is a multicultural society and Malays like to be praised. Make sure you always tell them
how wonderful is their culture. If you praise them they’ll be friendly to you although they’ll
probably gossip you in Malay. Pay attention when they say “mat salleh” or “orang putih” (refers
to white people) or in Cantonese “gwai low”. To Japanese they refer as “orang Jepun”,
unknown East Asians, Chinese, Japanese etc. Are called “sepet”, Arabs “orang Arab” and
blacks “negro” or “orang hitam”.
Good way to move around is city train (cannot be called metro or speed train, because it’s not
fast and shakes even more than London Tube), which is much better and faster than always
crowded buses and it’s cheaper than taxi. Taking city bus might result in you getting lost. If it
does happen, stop a taxi and ask the driver to take you back to your hotel. Don’t hitch-hike,
nobody will stop.
Don’t bring drugs, don’t buy them and don’t take them. Traficking in illegal drugs carries a
death penalty – probably they won’t execute you if you’re from some Western country, but it’ll
take a lot of diplomatic effort to get you out. Don’t bring pets also. It’s inconvenient and you’ll
have troubles. Don’t visit prostitutes because it’s illegal.
Do try local food, if you don’t like you can eat in Mc Donald’s, KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King,
Kenny Rogers, etc. Unlike in Singapore you are allowed to chew chewing gums and spit on the
ground.
Enjoy your stay!
James asks…
How much do I need for about a week in Kuala Lumpur (in
5/9

6. Philippine pesos)?
My friend is inviting me to go t o KL for a week or less. She’ ll pay for the hotel so I just have to
worry about my fare and pocket money. We might take Cebu Pacific or another budget airline.
Then I guess we’ll probably eat in cheap places only. Shop a little. I can opt to shop or not,
really depends if I can afford to. I’m assuming we’ll stay 4 to 7 days.
What is the exchange rate of KL currency and Philippine Peso?
A breakdown (estimate) would be an extra big help!
Cuti-cuti Malaysia answers:
When I was there the exchange rate was Php6=1MYR. If you’re gonna take a LCC, your fare
may range around 11-14k pesos. So I think 30k – 35k is good enough and in case you run out
of money you can always ask your friend, its his/her fault why you were there anyway..
