Far East Plaza not sure but be careful at Lucky Plaza. Changed
money there once and while the rate was correct, the amount was
wrong! My mental maths told me the calculated amount was not
correct but then when you use their calculator, each time I keyed
the result is the same. So, I asked for a receipt and name card,
went home to use my own calculators (several), and the result was
different from the money changer. Immediately I called and the guy
over there asked how much was the difference and to come and
collect! So, I went back, the guy who served me was not there, so I
wacked that fellow behind the counter loud and told him the
difference was an amount - you guess - I got the real difference
plus some more (I lied to the fellow). So, I got my correct change,
plus transport and time and some spare!
Serve them right! I suspect they rigged their calculator, and had
been short-changing and cheating tourists and SGreans who didn't
bring their own calculator. I was surprised they didn't make any
fuss or denial, just pay without question!
Morale of story: bring your own calculator when you change money.
Ask several money changers for rate before you decide.
