Uncle is super nice and friendly. The transaction was fuss-free.
That day, the chart online showed SGD 1 : MYR 3.2.
This money changer offered SGD 1 : MYR 3.19, which was really not bad. I only changed $100 at that rate. Perhaps if you changed more, you might get an even better rate.
Many other money changers offered much lower rates than this place. I checked on cashchanger.co and was disappointed, so it was a pleasant surprise when I saw that this money changer offered 3.19.
This money changer is in Bugis Junction. It's almost hidden, so you cannot find it easily, but if you find Spectacle Hut, you will find it beside the escalator.
Also, a quick note: Uncle does not take PayNow like those money changers at the Raffles Place area. He only accepts cash, and there are plenty of ATMs in the basement. There's also one OCBC ATM on the 2nd floor.

I was hunting for a good rate and came across them at Bugis Junction. Their rates are better than many others. I had a chat with the uncle and found out he has been in business since 1995, with over 30 years of experience. Good service. Will visit again.

I would give 0 stars if I could. I went there, and this old man was on the phone. He walked over and stood near the counter, still on the phone. The counter had tiny tissue bits, and he used his finger to flick the paper bits towards me, then continued using his phone as if I'm transparent. Please go to the MRT area to change money before coming to this shop.

I got the best customer service from Daphne at Bugis MAC! She suggested products suitable for my face and finally helped me find the suitable shade for my skin.

Jocelyn is super good and knows how to apply her skills to customers. Really a great artist. Even for Indians, she knows the right tone of foundation or powder to apply. And moreover, no hard selling. Hope most MAC stores have staff like this. 👍👍👍👍 …

I went to this branch for lipstick. A staff member came to me and asked what type of shades I wanted. After suggesting maybe two shades and seeing I wasn't satisfied, she just left the tester there and asked me to choose by myself in a very rude manner. I really don’t think she likes her job anyway. I'm definitely not going to be back here.

I was attended by artist Jocelyn Mak. She was friendly, warm-hearted, and patient. She knows her products well and is good at recommending Mac products. I really enjoyed the interaction with her, and it was always a good shopping experience. I will always go back to her whenever I need to get Mac products. I am always satisfied with her service.

Jocelyn is very detailed in teaching step by step, friendly, and professional. I will definitely approach her for future purchase.

Jocelyn from MAC Bugis is an excellent makeup artist. I went to buy my normal loose powder, but it was out of stock. I needed the powder urgently and had no time to go to another branch. So, she went the extra mile to introduce another compact powder that was suitable for my skin condition and went ahead to choose the colours I needed for my skin. Then she even went ahead to tell me which colour suited me and more. I was amazed by her service because normally I need to 'beg' for attention even when there are no other customers. I am so pleased with her service, and I left with a delighted smile. I hope we have more makeup artists like her. Basically, most people come with no knowledge, so we want expert help, but sometimes we are so scared to approach them. Thanks!

I am writing this to share my wonderful experience with staff member Jocelyn. I have been purchasing from Jocelyn at the Bugis outlet for about 2 years now. I must highlight that I feel appreciated that Jocelyn remembers me well, even though I do not make a monthly purchase. Her memory is excellent. She did not hard sell the products, but would recommend and share new products with me. Her customer service skills are top-notch, genuine, and clearly come from her heart. Thank you, Jocelyn, for always serving me with a smile and warmth. Please restock Velvet Teddy lipstick soon so I can purchase from you again!

Amazing Makeup Artist!
I had a makeup lesson with Jocelyn today at the Bugis Junction outlet. Couldn't be happier, right from the moment we started. Jocelyn made me feel comfortable and understood exactly what I wanted.
The makeup was flawless and lasted all day. I received so many compliments on my look, and it made me feel confident and beautiful.
I highly recommend Jocelyn to anyone looking for a makeup artist who can deliver stunning results.
Thank you, Jocelyn.

My first time visiting MAC Bugis Junction to buy the lip balm. I have never used much makeup or MAC products before, except for the lip balm. I walked in and was greeted by Jocelyn. I told her what I wanted, and she recommended another color that looked good on my skin tone. I liked her recommendation and bought two other colors. Then, as we chatted, she was super friendly, knowledgeable, and very happy to share, even though I didn't look like I was getting anything else. I then decided to buy some other makeup items that I had and that had expired. Lol. Don't judge, I really very seldom put on makeup. Jocelyn then shared a lot. To be honest, she did not push me or hard-sell me. I was just, at the same time, getting things that I needed (those that had expired in my current makeup pouch). I loved her recommendations; they were simple when tried on my face, but the result is mind-blowing. Thank you, Jocelyn! As promised, once I have finished using, I'll go back to the same outlet to look for you.

I recently purchased products in-store. Ms. Jocelyn Mak, the artist who assisted me, demonstrated exceptional professionalism, patience, and friendliness while explaining the details of each item. I truly appreciated her confident approach.

Daphne was really helpful, answering all my questions, recommending the right products, and even complementing the new products with the ones I already have at home. She also demonstrated how I can use the products on my face, convincing me to get them. It looked amazing, and I was instantly sold. Thanks Daphne!

I visited on 29 Mar 2025 (Sat) 7pm for Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation complexion shade match and flash makeover with foundation-inspired mocktail (milk tea). The experience was amazing and my shade was matched well. The consultant was very friendly and explained the different steps she did. I can't help but compare that this branch is so much more peaceful and organised than the Takashimaya one hmm. Thank you once again!

I had a great experience with JOJO! She is super friendly and helpful. I LOVE HER, and it was only through her that I learned about products and amazing hacks. She is amazing ❤️

I had a wonderful experience with JOJO! She was so friendly and professional. Her makeup skills are amazing — she really listened to what I wanted and made me look and feel beautiful. Highly recommend her, especially for her MAC product recommendations!

I had a lovely experience with JOJO! I became tanned after my trip from the Philippines and needed a change in my lipstick rotation. Walked into the store and was greeted by Jojo, who was so friendly and professional. She even recommended a lipstick + lipliner duo. I was sold right off the bat and immediately got it because it was so pretty!
Highly recommend Jojo to cater to all your MAC makeup needs!

Basket has a lot of bad reviews, but still wants to do business. Tell your Bugis staff to wash herself after doing business. *snorts*

Please, hire good people. Don't hire staff who make fun of customers' sizes at your Bugis outlet. It's as if they own the store, when they are just salespersons. They need to mind their manners.
