  As i stated it is offical "opening" not how fast you pick the first passager so that every TD know the way to the stand

  I understand from LV members that the "high class SANDs" giving kacang, mineral water & tissue paper.

  If true, I feels that they made us TDs very cheapskate.

  Genting was giving away better goodies back then.

  Btw, I didn't collect any goodies from Genting & Sands.

  So far no news about Sands surcharge .......

  Last night anyone tried ?

  Can taxi go inside ?

  I think it'll be just CBD $3 surcharge .

  But we need to pay ERP again to get into inside .

  Like River Line , to get paxes at Shenton Way from City Hall side , u must pay ERP cost .

  No leh. I always spray perfume in my taxi. So no problem. The most smelly paxes are the PRC workers after they had a steamboat buffet. KNN got the prawn and crab smell.
