Dear S'pore Fellow Forumers,

Just a word of caution to you, pls put in extra caution when you visit JB
while driving S'pore registered car. Especially this long weekend, Vesak
Day.

I am 1 of the S'porean soul that get my car stolen in JB. A few weeks
ago, someone visited this website and found my posting of my lost car.
He/She sent me an email ask about my experiences.

I hope this posting will remind anyone who is visiting JB. To be extra
caution on their baby. I do not want you to suffer what i went through.

Wishing my fellow forumers a Happy Vesak Day.

With best regards,
Antz_ng

Whatever precautions taken, your car can still be towed away without your
knowledge. The only sure way to prevent your car from being stolen is not
to drive to JB in the first place unless you absolutely have to.

if you are a frequent visitor to JB or you are malaysian driving spore's
car i will recommend you put in more security features rather than depend
on the OEM!

JB is ok! wat you driving as long as you be careful where you park!

Leave your Sin cars behind and rent one in JB.

Best security?

There is no best security...but its best to have additional locks, hidden
switches and additional immo. I've seen very 'HOT' car owners never care
abt all this.
