Many Singaporeans Flocking Over To JOHOR BAHRU TO RETIRE. 5 Reasons This Is Happening More & More!

I takut mau jalan Johor Bahru banyak tipu rompak

Singapore retirees - go sarawak

Cost, cost, cost. If prices were the same in Singapore as in JB, they wouldn't be going to JB.
I have friends that cross over to JB every month for services like hair cuts, mani-pedi, massage, food, etc.
Problem is traffic. We were in JB and friends from Singapore drove over to meet us for dinner. It took them 3 hours. The causeway Bridge is only 1 mile long?? Then a few days later we were going into Singapore and the only spot on that train was at 5:30am! You've not seen my wife at 5am.😂 We hired a private car to take us door-to-door. Best $ spent. Whizzed through immigration. We got from our JB hotel to our Singapore hotel in about an hour.

S'poreans enjoy consistently high employment rate in s'pore and a recent report shows that household income exceeds expenditure. So, it's pretty obvious that the capable ones stay in s'pore while those that are not good enough move out to cheap places like JB. This is a good thing as there is less burden on s'pore.👍👍

Most Malaysian tourist prefer to stay in JB then have a day trip to Singapore because this will save the cost....

The late LKY encouraged Singaporean professionals to live overseas to broaden their horizons. They are now taking his advice, at the right time they feel.

For decades singapore is province of endia

Retire in JB? Try walking at midnight wearing a Rolex. Your hands will be chopped off.

Don't over generalise Singaporean - No true to what you said.

Nothing fantastic Abt Johor bahru. Boring place

True blue Singaporeans without Malaysian relatives do not agree, other than occasional getaways.
the hassle for the long queue at custom is not worth it.

I recent had dinner and breakfast in Austin Heights
Both restaurants happened to be full.
Share table with two random YOUNG Sporeans each time.
Amazed to hear their views.
JB is really where they like to come to have great food !!!

In Johore, i found far superior food quality and value for money. Same with other states. U dun need to grow too old before learning this.

I recently bought a house in JB city area nearly 9,000 sq ft land, at the cost of non prime location 4-room flat. (3 small bedrooms)

A couple of months later, i discover both neigbhours left and right are already owned by Sporeans.

Thanks for sharing....Hopefully Singapore does not become poor like Australia in the near future......Have a great year ahead

Ha ha😂 you help to promote E &Y mamak restaurant, no wonder always full house!😅

Come and stay in Malacca lah. 2 hours approx. to the causeway and can be away from all the jams. Seldom has jam here only good kaya jam.

SPH ( Singapore Press Holdings ) put satellites in orbit so that media offenders can use them to see through walls of any building in Singapore, and they can electromagnetically zap the bodily functions of anybody anywhere. These electromagnetic radiation can trigger all reactions in the body, including disease symptoms and pain, and the offenders are using these satellites to torture me and keep me under constant surveillance to play their "white teeth", "use the hands" game. Please help me. Please call on the government to take action on the media offenders' illegal use of satellites and stop their criminal oppression and torture.

I want to retire in Guangzhou as a Singaporean because they have 4 seasons.

WHY?!!.. Singapore is driving citizens crazy,"" working to death..with high HDB, food prices. No natural places for relaxing etc etc..spore only for rich foreign people...😂😂😂😂😂

First of all you must understand that this is Tanah Melayu and we are given special rights in this country. The influx of foreigners into Malaysia will only weaken the position of the Malay. We hope the Malay leaders like Tun Mahathir, Dr Akmal Saleh and Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang can fight for our benefits and protect our special rights given by the Malaysian Constitutions.

My mother is from Malacca. Born and raised in US, but thinking about being a part-time resident in Asia. My cousins still in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Visit them about once a year for the past 10 years. Thoroughly enjoy my visits with delicious food, Asian culture and the amazing cost of living compared to US. I like the ocean. How’s about doing a review on retiring in Sabah. I’m going to check out that place next.🎉

新加坡全面禁电子烟，不少狮城客却越堤到新山购买，当地商家称，狮城客源占70%。

Spending time ok lah

Can anyone pls offer any information on the quality, reliability, and availability of Fiber Internet compared to Singapore?

Any update on mm2h sez/sfz program?

We don't really welcome Singaporeans. They drive up prices making it unaffordable for locals; they have a condescending attitude towards Malaysians.

😅 the city square shopping mall are own by temasek holding of singapore. The rental are amazing high. If you want cheaper rate shop at other mall and eat at normal coffee shop like in taman sentosa and sri tebrau, taman perling or taman setia indah. Taman tun ungku aminah is extremly cheap, the chicken rice is only RM3.00 and pork rice with stewed pork is RM4.00 at jalan perkasa 4. 😅❤

Please Singaporean don’t buy property in Malaysia you will regret one day

Singaporean needs to be humble when in JB. Don't complaint too much especially paying in RM$ , don't expect the same standard like in SG.

Good luck to them as the developers actually hide the truth of ownership.The mainlands Chinese already lost their investments there can't we gain the bad experience after?

As a senior citizen I would prefer to retire in Singapore
As I can go out anytime anywhere with convenience because of the good transport system

Its called KIASU

Majuland people, we only want your money. Don't retire and take up space in bolehland

Now they can't have lower cost of living and lower tax to do business Chip house and gas. thanks because special economic zones. Win Win to Singapore and Malaysia. what more do you want Singapore more land to do.

visa is an issue also.. only 30 days

JB is good for makan and shopping. Staying for good unless got alot of money.

Your feet stink !

Leave JB property for the people of Malaysia. As soon as Singaporeans start scooping up properties, you affect prices for locals. If you want to support JB, the best thing you can do is rent there or visit regularly injecting badly needed shopping dollars into their economy.

Johor is closer to third world asian countries than first world. Lawless and messy.

SG is closer to Europe and Australia. Of course a third more expensive.

Alternate point that one might not consider: dating a Malaysian girl.

From my personal experience, every corporate i've worked for the past decade is filled with colleagues from JB, if you were to ever date a colleague. That is essentially securing a retirement/WFH option to move to JB while renting out your hdb in SG

Singapore? I can't sleep in a shoe box house. Upstairs noisy. Sidewalk noisy. Lift opens & shut. Come down, no space to move. All like little crowds here, little crowds there. Then, run back to HDB its 4 walls around me, talking to lizards. But one thing l am proud to say. No cockroach but rats, big fat ones around coffee shops. Not often, but around little gardens next to coffee shops. I saw their holes, their hiding place during the day. At nights, wah, they are the tourists once coffee shops pull down their blinds. It's a call to their play time. That's why I never eat in any coffee shops in Singapore.

Hongkongers flock to shenzhen. So not a surprise. There is 6m souls in singapore. It is like your zip or waistline bursting. No landfill will do the job

Not worth the time and efforts except if u have decent sized shopping

Singaporeans are : Kiasi, kiasu, bo-chap, act-blur, chope, wo-um-chai!

The CRIME rate n CORRUPTION in JB is a HUGE TURN off

5 important factors for me to consider life elsewhere..
1) Security and crime rate
2) Economic stability and Financial investment opportunities
3) Equality and opportunity for all races
4) Technology, healthcare and logistical infrastructure
5) Entertainment and lifestyle quality

The irony of it all there is so many all over SEA trying to attain citizenship in Singapore…so Singaporeans give up the ‘space’ for foreigners coming in to SG?
For elderly.. when you age, healthcare becomes more critical as you encounter more age-related ailments and your savings will be sucked dry, so what are the medicare benefits and are medical aids accesssible..how easy is it to get to the nearest hospital emergency lobby and be warded

Singaporean just love bargain and good service

Sg just too expensive. We have not got out of the pay and pay grip yet. I honestly don’t understand why we have to make everything so expensive in sg

Alright how to get hold John? Is there a contact number or email? I need some information and would love to hop on a call.

We want to hear your plans! Are you intending to retire in JB? Let us know!
