Today lunchtime dropped by indian money-changer in Shaw Tower, Beach Road to check the rate. Only offered 4.53, sibeh low morale.

these days hard to get above 4.65 i think ... and based on report, seems the Sing$ will be kept low until end of this year ...

i m not snr bro. juz another cheongster. my advise is don't let any1 know u r carrying alot of cash coz of robbery, pickpocketing. when in the hotel, immediately place the cash in2 the safe without letting any1 see, includin the housekeepers. when u give cash to mm, try not to take from the safe but prepare abit in advance coz when u open safe n she saw u have so much cash, she might stage a robbery or kidnap. juz my 2cents worth.

cheong safe. mayb can buy travel insurance but the insurer limit the payout for cash if kanna robbery.
