I had a very disappointing experience with the elderly Indian man, who is believed to be the owner. He was rude, arrogant, and displayed racist behavior. Be cautious and ensure you get the exchange rate they advertise, as there is a risk of being cheated. Additionally, their exchange rate is lower compared to other money changers. For example, Allbest Money Changer offers 3.48 for Malaysian Ringgit today, while these guys offer only 3.47.
If you're not convinced, see the response from the owner. His attitude is evident.

I had a disappointing experience here when trying to exchange USD notes printed in 2008. The staff claimed the notes were "useless nowadays" and offered an unbelievable exchange rate of 1 USD = 1 SGD. Later, I exchanged the same notes at Lucky Plaza for 1 USD = 1.27 SGD, proving that their claim was completely misleading.
This wasn't my first frustrating experience here. Previously, I exchanged Taiwanese dollars to Singapore dollars at this location at Westgate, only to later discover that Mustafa Exchange offered a rate 15% more favorable for customers.
If you're looking for fair and competitive rates, I’d strongly recommend doing your research before exchanging your money here. Otherwise, you might end up with a financial loss—just like I did

Pretty nice guy. I actually miscalculated the amount of Japanese currency I gave him (he kindly checked and corrected me, it was a larger amount). He asked if I had 5 dollars to give me bigger denominations but had no problems giving me smaller denominations when I said I didn't have it.
