The penalty is too heavy...a few expensive cars had been confiscated together with the rice and petrol in the past. So people are weary. Sometimes even rice from Limbang or Lawas cannot get through the border...<br /><br />The stories about the Foochows putting rice in the bicycle tyres were plentiful!!<br /><br />Haven't heard about smuggling bicycles in Germany!!<br /><br />Smugglers are bound to appear in places where customs officers are corrupt...and coast guards very careless... <br /><br />But God fearing and law abiding citizens like those in Brunei are really careful. I am afraid I cannot say about many Non-Bruneians.Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-67211822945245104832010-06-04T17:50:46.303+08:002010-06-04T17:50:46.303+08:00Do you remember our History lesson about the Emerg...Do you remember our History lesson about the Emergency in Malaysia, The Govt found people smuggling uncooked rice in the cylinders of the bicycle to the communist in the jungle.<br /><br />I read something about smuggling bicycles in Germany.<br /><br />May be your risk smuggling rice from Brunei.<br /><br />My uncles also tell me the petrol is very cheap there, and I read some people also risk their life trying to smuggle petrolAnn, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-8000975710351261982010-06-02T20:38:21.050+08:002010-06-02T20:38:21.050+08:00Hi Fufu...

No I do not think I find nasi bungkus as $1.00 any where in this world!!
