Singapore citizens enjoy visa-free entry into Malaysia for stays up to 30 days, provided their passport is valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry.

Taxis are readily available at all terminals, taking about 30 minutes and costing between S$25 and S$45, while private hire cars and a city shuttle service to major hotels are also options. Public buses serve the airport, and car rentals are available though driving in Singapore is expensive and generally less practical for visitors.",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Kuching Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The most popular and cost‑effective way to reach Kuching International Airport from the city center is the free Kuching Metro electric bus (Route 103), which runs a loop from the Open Air Market to the airport and onward to Semenggoh. Taxis and ride‑share services are also available and offer a faster, direct journey at a moderate cost. Driving yourself is an option with parking at the airport, but the free bus is the best value for most travelers.",
