The last time some airline offered a similar service the other way round, the authorities made a big hoo haa and had that service banned leh....anywayz.. if
our neighbours follow us and do the other way round.. highly unlikely it would be approved..

In conjunction with the shuttle service, they will also enjoy rebates and discounts at major department stores like Tangs, Robinsons and John Little.
They will also have a chance to purchase specially priced designer gift sets and enjoy a complimentary Christmas Light-Up Tour.
The free shuttle service does three trips a day on weekdays and six trips daily on weekends. It will run till Jan 1, 2007.
The number of Malaysian visitors was almost 600,000 last year, an increase of 7% from 2004.
