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.
