  Can we know the redeployment status of these buses? Are the MKIII replacing the buses that went over to service 160/170?

  No chance of a Mk3 'cameo'? They're still permitted to enter JB right? Hopefully there's that slim chance!

  Spotted SBS 2731L on Svc 170 from Queens St going to JB, stopped by at Little India Stn where i was waiting for bus at. Front desto (head plate) NEW, side desto towards Woodlands Chkpt and JB Lakin (Red desto), so i presume back toward Queens St will be a white desto.

  difficult... most likely the permit to enter JB will be removed... there are more than enough MK4 registered to enter JB....

  The MKIIIs are not expected to ply 170/160 anymore, should be remaining on non-cross border services till they are scrapped.

  All JB (or former registered) mk3s Malaysia Entry Permits have expired.

  No white plastic desto with green words? That is the only thing not seen yet. I thought 170 should be having it as they had green-on-white metal destoes.

  They had expired on August 2011 already? I doubt the permit to enter JB have removed yet (as far as I had observed, even those ex 160 permers still have yet)

  Not that it'll be removed immediately though once the permits expire too.
