Re: Mustafa's Shopping Security Harrassment

Dear Friends This is a true story. I would like to highlight that Shopping in Mustafa which everybody thinks is enjoyable and affordable is not true. What you are doing is called manipulation of public opinion against a legitimate and established organization. Some people call it "P.R.," or Public ...

Self-storage/Mini-storage Facilities in Johor Bahru

I find myself having to rent more and more mini-storage space for my antique furniture collection. Due to high rents in Singapore, it is getting too expensive to store my things here. Does anybody know of, or store their things in J.B., Malaysia? I suspect it may be a lot cheaper to store in Malaysi...

This guy travels quite a lot, and every time he meets counter staff or service staff that he is not satisfied with in some way, he proceeds to throw a tantrum, shouting, screaming and yelling at them, hurling all kinds of vile verbal abuse. Quite frankly, all...

I was shocked when my malaysian girlfriend told me about her opinion about singaporeans. Singaporeans are thought of as being arrogant and love of face (as in not losing face). ...

If it's your first refill, it may cost you up to $36 for a bottle. After that, if you use the same supplier they will normally give you a $5 discount. Coming up to $31/bottle (that's the last bottle I bought about 2 weeks ago. Don't you get them 2 or 3 at a time? It is a real bummer when you have f...
