This I agree but a lot ( easily half a million to 2 million ) has already gotten PR and they are here to stay.
Its abit too late now because damage has been done.
It's interesting that SGns are complaining about immigrants to SGP and here we do have a lot of SGns who had emigrated to MY/Iskandar.
This movement of ppl and assets from SG to MY had caused similar problems for the local MYns too.
In a way, those from SG had brought in tremendous inflationary issues for the local MYns.
I think we should always look at issues from both sides of the same coins.
If we as SGns in MY hope to get friendly treatment from the locals in MY, we should similarly give back to those who had chosen SG for work/home.
Of course, there are exceptional bad behaviours reported in the press about FT cyclists who behaved aggressively on SG roads, or blogged insensitive remarks about SGns in SG. Similarly, if we speak to local MYns, there would also have a field day sharing about some bad behaviours from SGns in MY.
Iskandar had developed so far in such a short period as there were notable investment flows from SGns and companies from SG.
Similarly, SG had developed well economically due to similar flows from global sources.
Issues raised by SGns in SG are similarly felt by MYns in MY.
Speak to any MYns now about property affordability and I am rather sure that most would be lamenting about the steep price incease that had happened.
The world is getting smaller.
