Thousands of Malaysian throng the causeways(Tambak Johor) everyday to work in Singapore. Very little are reported of their bitter sweet struggle to earn the Sing Dollar. This blog hopes to share my encounters with many fellow kaki tambak. Hopefully there will be more social recognition for these unsung heroes who breathes life to both cities on either side of the causeway.

My 1st Post
For my 1st post, I would like to share my everyday fight to earn a few Sing Dollars :
0530  Wake up and prepare for work.
0600  Leave home.
0630  Park my Proton Saga at JB town car park.
0700  Ride bicycle to Singapore.
0740  Clear the checkpoints. Lock my bicycle at Woodlands Central.
0745  Ridemotorbike to office.
0820  Reach office. Clean up dirt and sweat with wet towel.
0830 Start working
1800  Finish work(provided no OT) and ride motorbike
1845  Reached Woodlands central. Lock my motorbike.
1850  Ride bicycle back to JB.
1920  Reached JB town. Drive my Proton back home.
2000  Home sweet home
These are the typical daily regime many of us in JB go through. There are of course many other regime which hopefully I will be able to share later on.
