Singapore should also follow such ideas. But to make it right for us, we should slap a fee if people only transit and never stay to tour Singapore. For those that tour or stay in sgyfor 3 days or more, we then give them some incentives, eg discounted SIA flights to their next destination.

I think PAP will only charge sinkees a big fee for going overseas for holidays. Just like casinos.

PAP will never make things difficult for foreigners.

at least the Thai Govt got a valid reason also in fact A LOT tourist don't mind either partly once you holiday inside Thailand , at least beer, cigarettes, street hawker foods , even Hotel foods STILL cheaper than holiday in SG.

Toll Fee.

Of course things are much cheaper than Singapore, cos of our strong Singdollar.  Also the standard/cost  of living is lower than Singapore........
