In case any of you thinking why there are so many ppl out on the streets and malls after Phase 2 starts....simple reason coz the usual vacations are OFF. Can't even go JB.
We are stuck in this island for the time being.

Not a bad thing coz many shops need our biz and money.

In the meantime, everyone please stay safe, avoid crowded places and most importantly wear a mask when you are outdoors.

At least we are not confined to our homes..that was so boring and my eyes are getting tired from all the screen time.

For those who dont mind to serve SHN in SG, i think should be able to go Batam soon.

On 27th June, news came out.

Thanks nono! Really appreciate your info. Stay safe!!!

Think the 1st priority when open ...
Must quickly go to get the Retirement Temporary Stay Permit(ITAS-Lansia)
As I look through the requirement this should be the easiest and simple path.

Any advice from bros would be deeply appreciated.
TIA

Updates would have to wait until Singapore reopens its border with Batam (w/o the 14 day quarantine restriction from Singapore).

4 person in jacuzzi, not likely to happen in Batam (3 nude girls one naked guy,hehehe...). Well, even tho it almost happen before in Newton Spa. Where they have the massage girls and GROs (i think), who would go into the hot pool to serve their customer/s drinks etc. Too bad, that kind of service didnt last very long. Not even long enough for me to talk about it.

Newton Spa closed down.

(place already closed down, so hope mod/admin don't mind the phone no. on the photo)

Grrgh....!! Why didnt they have this type in Batam...

Many non-Batam regulars here wouldnt mind paying a much higher price for better service when they lack the time to recce around Batam,hehehe...

Dreaming on one day Batam can be like that,hehehe...

The 4 or 5 rooms is inside Formosa hotel. Since Formosa has closed down, there is nothing further to share unless we are talking about replacement rooms in another hotel,hehehe... i am looking into Utama hotel tho (which is near Newton, less than 10 mins walk), clearing up the cigarette stench etc. And via PM, i will share more about Hotel Alpha when you are about to reach Batam (you can play hide and seek with girls, as room is more than doubled Formosa's room at less than its price). The hospitality level there is almost equivalent to Formosa.

Hotel Bravo would be too far to the places you often goes to. It just got revamp, aka taken over by another hotel organisation hence i have no chance to test-drive during this covid situation yet.

When I asked something to guys at reception of Harmony or I-Hotel, I really had the impression to be served at McDonald. You named it.

Utama Hotel staffs do not give me "Mcdonald" impression tho (most stayer there are regulars). And that is one of those few hotels that arent so mechanical in Batam. The frontline receptionist TRIES to give me that impression (Mcdonald style service) becos i am new faces to them, but from my observation, i knew they werent cut out to match "McDonald",hehehe...

Just sharing.

Now just wait for Pak Rudi to declare Batam as Green Zone and apply to Central Government to reopen Batam for tourist.
Once that happened, will be no more 14 days Quarantine in Batam, most is need to show a negative result for Covid-19 or swab test on the spot upon arrival. Slowly that can be excuse also..

Indonesian since weeks ago enter batam, no need quarantine, no need swab test, only fill up a health card, thats all, simple and easy..

Quick Pak Rudi!! Sent the letter. Udah antri ni. Byk udah tunggu mau msk.

Batam - The Mayor of Batam, Muhammad Rudi asked for special services for Covid-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests carried out for every person passing by at an international port.

This is done in preparation for the opening of the international entrance, following the city of Batam has entered the yellow zone. "Our target is that the port can be opened," said Rudi, Tuesday (6/30/2020).

Rudi said Batam City had 3 PCR machines, so according to him there was a chance that one machine would be used for swab testing for everyone at the port.

Based on Circular Letter of the Task Force for the Acceleration of Covid-19 Handling, everyone traveling abroad is obliged to carry out PCR tests if they do not bring a negative swab certificate from the country concerned.

"So we want to sit with the BTKLPP, if there is a suspect, swab can be immediately taken immediately and checked," he said.

But he wants that the PCR test can be done quickly, and does not need to queue for days to find out the results. If necessary, said Rudi, the results can be known in a matter of hours.

"I want one hour to finish, or if possible 5 hours, so it won't be long to wait, if this is only known after 3 days," he said.

If the preparations have been made and Batam has become a green zone, of course Batam can submit a letter to the Singapore Government to open an international port.

"If we make it to Singapore, there must be an agreement to do it according to the procedure," he said.
