Singapore & Malaysia
SINGAPORE, MALAYSIA
& BORNEO
Experience the delights of Singapore & Malaysia – a fascinating
blend of East & West, colonial and modern.
SINGAPORE
Known as the Lion City, it is a blend of cultures with
remnants of a British colonial past. With no distinct
seasons, the country marks the passing of time with
colourful festivals, parades and fireworks throughout
the year. For an extended holiday and relaxation in
complete luxury, why not stay on Sentosa Island?
From contemporary art galleries to whimsical botanic
gardens; colonial buildings to funky bars – it is a city
filled with many unique attractions to captivate and
surprise the visitor.

MALAYSIA & BORNEO
A destination with a diversity of natural wonders and
historical cities – from being pampered in luxury
resorts featuring health spas, to staying in rainforest
lodges set in lush national parks searching for exotic
wildlife. Wander the preserved streets of Malacca &
Georgetown, watch a memorable sunrise from the
peak of Mt Kinabalu, or just relax on the white sand
beaches of Langkawi – it is a melting pot of different
cultures and unique style for you to experience!

HOLIDAY HINTS
Hol;iday Hints
Our years of experience is a great help in the planning of your holiday. We trust this information will be of assistance to you and add to the
enjoyment of your holiday.
AIRPORT TAXES
Applicable taxes for departures from Australia are
included on your airline ticket. Other countries taxes
may be either prepaid or payable at the departure
airport. Your travel agent can advise the current
charges on booking and final payment.
PASSPORTS AND VISAS
All passengers require a valid passport with at
least 6 months validity remaining as of date of
entry into Malaysia and any onward countries. Visa
requirements vary from country to country. It is
the responsibility of the traveller to ensure that any
requirements are met. Check with your Travel Agent
or the Consulate of the country you are visiting.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
Travel insurance to cover loss of property,
cancellation fees, hospital treatment, medical
evacuation, etc. is essential for anyone travelling
outside of Australia. Overseas medical costs
are expensive and not covered by Australian
medical insurance. Your travel agent can assist
in purchasing appropriate travel insurance for
your destination. The Australian Government
has provided information regarding the need for
adequate insurance including some case studies,
refer to
http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/tips/insurance.
html
YOUR HEALTH & SAFETY FIRST
Vaccinations: It is the responsibility of the traveller
to check with health professionals for information
on recommended vaccinations or other precautions
required for the country that you are visiting.
High standard medical facilities are available
in hospitals. Most of the hotels featured have
doctors and dentists on call. If you require regular
medication of any kind it is wise to take an ample
supply with you. Drink water only from your hotel
or in reliable restaurants. Sealed, bottled water is
preferable.
Be aware that when travelling you are subject to
local laws and customs which may differ from
Australian laws. The Australian Government has
provided important information about your specific
destination at www.smartraveller.gov.au
CURRENCY (AS AT JANUARY 2016)
Singapore
A$1.00 = SGD .94
Malaysia
A$1.00 = MYR 2.8
Exchange rates do vary, so check the above with
your bank.
The official currency of Singapore is the Singapore
dollar. The official currency of Malaysia is the dollar
or ringgit. Banks throughout Singapore & Malaysia
generally operate from 9.30am to 3.00pm, from
Mondays to Fridays, and from 9.30am to 11.00am
on Saturdays for travellers’ cheques transactions
and other financial matters. 24 hour ATMs are
conveniently located at banks and most shopping
centres. You can exchange currency at all banks,
hotels, and wherever the sign “Licensed Money
Changer” is displayed. Travellers’ cheques and
most credit cards are accepted at all hotels, major
department stores and many restaurants. Cash is
recommended in smaller towns or villages.
TIME DIFFERENCES
The following are the time differences to Singapore
& Malaysia:
Syd/Mel/Bne/Hba -2 hrs
Adl/Drw -1.30 hrs
Per Same
Australia is a further hour ahead during Daylight
Saving in participating states.
ELECTRICITY
The voltage used in Singapore is 220-240 volts and
in Malaysia between 111 and 240 volts. The plugs
used are different from Australia so in most cases
you will require an international plug converter.
TIPPING
Taxes and service charges are included on your
hotel account and on most restaurant bills. Tipping
is not a way of life in Singapore & Malaysia and is
generally discouraged.
SHOPPING
One of the many pleasures of holidaying is shopping
- Singapore & Malaysia offers many duty free
bargains such as perfume, cosmetics, watches,
cameras, electric appliances, pewter and great
clothing bargains. A good number of department
stores and some smaller shops are open daily from
10am to about 9pm, or even 10pm. In department
stores, all items are price-tagged and prices are
fixed. Many small retailers also practice price
tagging but are often flexible when approached for
a discount. Ask the retailer for their “best price” and
then counter-offer with realistic prices until both of
you reach an agreement. For something different try
24 hour shopping at Mustapha Centre in Singapore
or try your bartering skills in Chinatown or street
markets throughout the region.
FOOD
Most hotels have excellent restaurants offering
both Asian and Western food. Fast food chains are
available but it is best to be adventurous and try the
local dishes such as curry, satay, laksa, roti and nasi
kandar.
RELIGION
Malaysia is a multi-racial country and practices
freedom of religion. It is predominantly Muslim
with other religions being Buddhism, Hinduism and
Christianity.
LANGUAGE
Singapore & Malaysia are both multicultural and you
will hear at least 4 languages - English, Mandarin,
Malay and Tamil, with Malay being the official
Singapore & Malaysia national language. However,
English is the most widely spoken language in
Singapore and widely spoken in Malaysia. Most
signboards are usually written in both languages.

documents. Please make sure that you are fully aware of
what you are paying for before you pay your deposit and/or
final payment.
A deposit of $165 per adult ($55 per child) is payable to your travel consultant within 7 days of confirmation, to secure a booking. A further deposit may be required by the hotel, tour operator, cruise line or other principal. Please note that a deposited booking holds services but does not guarantee prices.

any time after confirmation, it will attract a $165 per adult

45 days of departure. No refund can be guaranteed for
cancellations after the tour has commenced or in respect of
any tours, accommodation, meals or any other services not

If we have to cancel or substantially change your travel booking because of events outside of our control (this is very rare), we will, where possible, offer you an alternative of a similar standard. If you do not accept the alternative, we will refund in full any monies already paid for those arrangements.

You are responsible for all visa, passport, immigration,
quarantine, customs, health and other requirements of the
countries visited or transited. Passports must have at least 6
months’ validity from the date of your return to Australia. The

If you are not sure of your responsibilities, ask your travel consultant.
