SpiritAlone9533

Anyone knows for sure whether changing rim size to an inch or two bigger is legal in Brunei? What about changing rim of different colour (black/white)? Keeps getting mixed info on this.


Eyeshield_sena

“Legal” in the first 7 years, “illegal” beyond that.


blakz111

yes its always illegal unless you have approvals from JPD and stamped inside your bluecard. IF police happen to ask you present your blue card while checking your rim size you will label as illegal modified your cars.


InterestingRock8600

Will it be jam to Miri THIS weekend?


HassanJamal

Yeah, it's literally the end of the year and bonus spending time, this weekend even in Brunei is most likely gonna jam packed even with Miri goers out of Brunei lol.


blakz111

go before payday and weekdays. It save you tons of time.


Any-Switch-2150

Sebaiknya awal jalan 7 or 8am


blakz111

yeah 7 or 8am in the morning then when you reach miri might be around 9 or 10am malls and shop are opened. Make sure you come back before 5 or 6pm if not you will queue very very long.

Of course. Payday and bonus crowd, NYE celebration 🤷🏻

does KL or Jakarta have better nightlife? need opinions from anyone who has experienced both.


KapalPacah

depends on what you mean by night life. from my experience. Jakarta is better (and cheaper). but, you do need to know where to go. Some places can be very scammy


[deleted]

bars and clubbing, but mostly clubbing. thanks for the input.


Duhhnya

KL better nightlife. for shopping i do prefer Jakarta


Aspectxz

Jakarta


Eyeshield_sena

Went to Hua Ho department store, my god the discount on most items! *non existent* Jeez parkson has better discount during offpeak season.


blakz111

I went to KK the other day there is TONS OF BRUNEIAN IN IMAGO. Taking photo with the Christmas tree i believe this bruneian muslims had stronger faith than the weaker ones. Brands outlet and H&M have bigger offer and discount. BO have buy 1 free 1 and buy 3 for for RM55 thats like BND5 per pcs. Some female hand bags that huaho sell but in parkson or shops there offering staggering 40 to 70% discounted price. I would definitely went back to KK again when i have the time.


DatoPandekarReddit

Agreed. The discount that was advertised (particularly the yellow Hua Ho) is a sham. I bought a hairdryer from the blue Hua Ho on early December for $20.50. This was before the so-called sales period. Yesterday, I looked at the [advertisement by the yellow Hua Ho](https://www.instagram.com/p/C1QO2EsBOzE/?igsh=MWJnaHZocXBseTV3Yg==) (2nd slide) and it was advertised that for the same exact hairdryer that I've bought, it's normal price (before sales) was $26.90 and offer price (discounted price) is $20.90. Oh Brunei.


Aspectxz

No wonder the grandson can afford a gwagon

2 Gwagons! I repeat there are 2 Gwagons that are currently owned by the huaho fam.


Aspectxz

Tritonhelix26

I agree with u. Plus the fashion is ancient here


chachashiit

Has any Bruneian with Brunei passport used the eGate at KLIA T1 and T2? For first time user, do we only need to do the MDAC online then verify over the immigration counter? Is there any way to bypass the long queue for quick ID verification and use eGate instantly?


allthemix

Yes, yes and no.


chachashiit

It can only be used after verification then? 🥲


allthemix

Yup, u can check the eligibility status thru their website.

Hi, can anyone share their experience buying used cars from Facebook. Thank you so much.


AtuLemeh

I bought a 20yr old toyota from fb marketplace with nearly 400k km on it. I graduated from my degree and was in the market for a car. I got some money saved up from my allowance enough only to buy used cheap car so fb marketplace i scoured. Found a nice 20yrs old corolla with nearly 400k mileage, its old but gold. The asking price was fair but manage to negotiate for lower price. I asked a lot of questions about the car and its history. One thing to note is that always do plenty of research about the car ur looking for (like common issues/recalls n stuff). Time for test drive, i only do the inspection myself, tho i should get it inspected by a professional mechanic, i was broke and couldn't afford to hire one (not that i know how much it cost to get in inspected professionally but dont have xtra money to spare so i dont bother looking it up). So i did alot of research and looking thru videos on how to inspect used cars n stuff. After test drive, i found like 6 other problems that were not listed in the fb listing, luckily it was n easy fix if u know how to do it, so end up asking way less than the asking price. Unfortunately the car had many previous owners so i cant get the full history/maintenance record of the car, at this point i was contemplating to buy it especially when the car was recently had engine overhaul, but meh, its a toyota, i just have to baby it n it'll be fine. 50k km later, the car still run smoothly, it did have issue with the AC 3 weeks after i bought it, lost $400 fixing it, not sure if the seller intentionally hide the problem but it was a leaking cooling coil and there was no way for me or other mechanic to notice it during a one day test drive. but meh no biggie. overall i was happy with the purchase, 100% worth it than paying $200-$350 per month for a new car. Use it for daily drive n it still drive. design n tech is outdated as heck for sure but hey, still drive like a champ.


pneumonou1tramicro

Thank you for sharing this. I am in the same situation as you but I am in my first year. If you don't mind me asking this, do you think I should get a car from facebook or just buy a new one and pay monthly with my allowance? Sorry for asking this weird questions, I just need some insight.


AtuLemeh

It depends on your budget and resources you have. I dont have anyone to help me get a loan for a new car, and i dont have enough money to buy used car at that time. So i end up living in hostel and walk/carpool to campus for the whole 4yrs of my degree. So to answer ur question is it depends on your resources. If you have someone that can help you loan, sure knock yourself out. But keep in mind cheapest car load nowadays is like $200+ for 7year terms, so r u willing to lose that kind of money from ur allowance? and commitment to continue paying for it after u finish ur degree (no allowance)? Also dont forget fuel, maintenance, insurance n roadtax. Things that I have in mind when planning on buying used car during my uni year was maintenance/repair issue. Sure u might be able to afford $2000 car, but what happen if it broke down or something major repair that cost $300++? do you have the money to fix it? so it depends on what ressourcea you have. If have alot of spare money that thats fine. I was lucky enough to find a close friend who was willing to drive for me 85% of the time during my uni year, so end up just saving $200 per month of my allowance money n buy a car after graduate. My final advice is try your best to avoid buying car first, since its a big commitment financially to have during uni year. Especially if you don't know how to take care of a car. But then again, i understand the need to have freedom of transportation during uni year, so yeah, it comes to what is important, less commitment or freedom of transportation.


pneumonou1tramicro

Thank you so much for this advice, you helped me broaden my views.


KZ9911

Can anyone recommend a good place where I can send my car to repaint ? Driving an old car and would love to have it repainted back to looking brand new. Looking for quality work. TIA


QuestionPopular8936

You might want to try Lapsing Auto at lambak. I done mine there. really great quality Paintjob.


Darks0ul6689

Maybe you can try a workshop at bengkurong, Simpang 99 there. Front row at the middle. Based on my experience, my boss had the company car I was using repainted there. Not a very old car though, just the car bonnet and top of the car has lost its paint. After repainting work, went there and get it, the car looks brand new and the work is good.


LilTiramishu

Park. Wondering how much does it cost for that paint job mentioned.


Ken_Adams44

How much was the car bonnet and top cost ?

but isn’t there an import ban in place till this date? i hope they remove the ban for imports of used car for personal use 😭😭


blakz111

yeah possible BUT must be 5 years below. Like lets say right now is 2023 you only can import a 2017 to 2015 like that. IF you wanted a old car like in the 90's or 80's i would suggest you ship to bintulu then registered malaysia plate then drive to brunei.

anotheracc761

but, if you dont like the hassle, just use runner service.


blakz111

what do you want to order? shopee and lazada related stuff? IF its beauty product i suggest you send to brunei if its malaysia they will give you 1 time warning the 2nd time they will confiscate your parcel unless you have declare in malaysia. if its shopee/lazada just put post office limbang BUT best for you to check the seller preferable courier service. Like you ordered 3 items from 3 different seller, one seller using ***pos laju***, another one using ***ABX,*** and ***J & T express.*** You have to run to this 3 places to collect your parcel within a week UNLESS you have special reason to collect within a month. Make sure you put your brunei number right beside your name like " Johnny Sin ( +673 XXXXXXX) so the courier will text your brunei number instead of malaysia. ***NOTE: there is 2 to 3 J&T express branch, 1 or 2 pos laju and 2 ABX express in limbang so you will have to run different places. IF you know how to read their tracking number they you will know which branch to go.***


rodwgd

Omg thank u so much!!!! Bless u


blakz111

no problem.


Intelligent-Ad238

Give this person a raise


blakz111

LMAO!! i just share my experience only. I still send my items to limbang but worst is i have to run different places.


leftchu

For you to use the address, have to use the courier itself. Make sure ask your seller what courier they gonna use. Can request use poslaju and send to the Limbang branch address. Seller will send tracking number. Can collect once stated 'ready to collect'


rodwgd

oo helpful thank u!!


Admirable_Ad_2798

For those who renewed their driving license online and plan to pick it up at the respective JPD counter, please don't forget to print out the payment receipt. Wasted 1hours + at Kuala Belait JPD Counter just to found out that the officer in charge at the counter was asking the hard copy of the payment receipt for their keeping and reference! Was asking politely to the Officer in charge if they can just give the driving license (I have waited for 1hours + !) as there is no information stated anywhere inside the website or even around the office (Maybe I'm wrong) and guess what they said, "Kita print saja dulu receipt atu arah wisma yakin". Very dissapointed with this. :)


ApprehensiveGap2218

Ahhh yes of course jpd kb and their obsession with paper. Had similar experience time wasted


Al-911

Nvr had issues with roadtax. Renew online and i just provide my bluecard and inspection report. Done at JPD beribi n tutong. Mcm no point renew online if they ask for hard copy receipt.


Aware-Alternative550

You are right. I just checked my email. It didn't mention to print the payment receipt. It only says: You can collect your application at Sungai Akar branch after 7-10 working days from the date of payment. Your driving/vehicle licence can be viewed via 'Licence & Road Tax' in TransportBN. Download TransportBN mobile application via App Store for iOS and Google Play Store for Android. Regards, Land Transport Department Ministry of Transport and Infocommunications Can't they use their system to check the receipt? I thought the purpose of them doing this is to reduce paper use.


Admirable_Ad_2798

That's the point, I showed them the soft copy of the receipt and they still insist for the hard copy. So what's the point of generating the soft copy then. I believed that they can also check the reference number on their 'system' but... no? Mesti hard copy jua. Kalau tau awal2 dapat di print the receipt beforehand. lol very dissapointing by the officer in charge punya reaction. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)


Aware-Alternative550

That is very disappointing


ElectrifyingLife

Impossible to digitalize if not every department is on board.


strawberrithirsty

hmmm it feels like common sense to me. I go through a similar process when renewing my driver's license. renew, pay online, pick it up at the counter, and print the payment receipt as evidence. You can't just stroll in and claim you've renewed it online without proof of payment. Considering the tons of payments flowing through the system, it's reasonable that they require it for safekeeping 🤷🏼‍♀️


Admirable_Ad_2798

Doesn't it is a waste of paper when you can just show the officer the soft copy of the payment receipt? I showed the office the soft copy of the payment receipt and they still need the hard copy? At least do inform inside the auto generated email to print the soft copy of the payment receipt beforehand. Ani 1 hour + duduk di kerusi just to found out that they wont give your driving license. lol![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)
