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.

5.30pm At Woodlands Checkpoint
This was the scene yesterday at Woodlands Checkpoint when I arrived 5.30pm. Was caught in the jam for around 35mins.
This is what kaki tambak consider a moderate motorbike jam. Not particularly exhausting but very hot nonetheless.

will you comment on how SGD wages have made everything that much more expensive in JB?
Hi,
Thanks for your query. I am currently working out a layman story about SG as a source of inflationary pressure on JB. Maybe another 2 weeks perhaps
For now and from not being an economics expert, I can only say its definitely not a very straightforward relationship.
