15 Hour Bus Ride from Penang Malaysia to Singapore with Grassland Express Part 2
This is the second part of my bus journey from Penang to Singapore with Grassland Express. By the end of Part 1, we have entered Kuala Lumpur just after 2am and went through the city centre. We left the city through the southern end and continued south. This was when things started to go wrong. The bus kept stopping here and there for 2 hours or so, before getting off the Expressway for a town called Alor Gajah in Malacca. The bus parked somewhere in the town centre and stayed there for another hour before returning to the Expressway. I thought there was a breakdown, but one of the drivers told me they were taking a break. As a result, I was very dissatisfied with the service. When we left Kuala Lumpur, we were on track to reach Johor Bahru by 7am or 8am. Now there is no chance of reaching Singapore by breakfast time. While I understand it is important to take breaks during long journeys on the road, the drivers could easily take turns driving in 3 hour shifts.
We stopped at a lay-by kampung at the crack of dawn for a second toilet break, before entering the state of Johor at around 7am. Please keep in mind that Johor is a huge state, so there was still a long way to go. We stopped at a town called Yong Peng at 7:45am for breakfast. We stayed there for over half an hour, which gave me ample time to enjoy my kaya toast and coffee set.
This bus service enters Singapore through the original Woodlands checkpoint as opposed to the newer Second Link at Tuas. We entered the city of Johor Bahru, dropped off some passengers at the Larkin Bus Terminal, before arriving at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar, or Sultan Iskandar Building, at 10am to clear Malaysian immigration. Immigration was surprisingly quick, it took me only a minute to get my fingerprints taken and my passport stamped. I boarded the bus and we headed out to the Johor-Singapore Causeway.
It was the morning of Hari Raya, the end of Ramadan. A lot of people were heading into Singapore to celebrate, shop, chill out or have fun in general. As a result, there was a huge traffic jam on the Causeway. It took us over 11 minutes to get to the other side, and I was relieved that there was a lane specifically for buses, given the huge queue of cars at the Woodlands Checkpoint! There was a long queue at immigration though, I had to wait an hour before it was my turn to clear immigration. After getting my baggage X-rayed by Customs, I can get back to my bus, which headed for the city centre just before noon. Only 2 other passengers were left at this point – Apparently most passengers have chosen to leave the bus behind and head to their final destinations by other modes of transport. Traffic within Singapore was very smooth, and I ended my journey at the Golden Mile Complex at the eastern end of the city centre at 12:23pm. Considering that the bus departed at 9:17pm the previous night, my journey had taken over 15 hours!
In conclusion, my main issue with this bus service is that the journey was way longer than necessary. If the drivers were better at coordinated their breaks, skipped the breakfast break and entered Singapore through the Second Link, I could have arrived at Singapore 3 hours earlier or more. This way, I would not have wasted so many productive hours in Singapore on my first day there. Therefore, I will not recommend taking the bus from Penang to Singapore unless you are really desperate to save the cost of a night’s stay at the hotel. If you really must travel by bus, please avoid travelling during public holidays so as to save time at immigration.
Jane Lee: 100 Faces. Sundaram Tagore Gallery, Singapore
Jane Lee is one of Singapore's most well-known artists.

Jane Lee is known for her highly tactile paintings. The exhibition 100 Faces presents three new series: Faces, Stacks and Portraits.
The Portrait series are paintings that have predominantly smooth, white surfaces that have been poked, jabbed and scraped to reveal swaths of color hidden below the surface. In the Stack series, three chromatic pillars of paintings are piled high with only their edges exposed. Finally, 100 Faces is a grid of colored small-scale paintings laid out on the floor.
Jane Lee has won numerous awards, including the Celeste Prize in New York. She was a finalist for the 2007 Sovereign Art Prize and was the first recipient of the Singapore International Residency Art Prize in 2007. Her work Raw Canvas was showcased at the Singapore Biennale 2008 and Collectors' Stage at the Singapore Art Museum in 2011. Lee holds a BA in fine arts and a diploma in fashion from LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore.
