As I'd said, for occasional odd hour driving like yourself, it is indeed not a problem but for those people having to drive in and out everyday to work, its another heavy burden.
You no need to worry about them as they save some RM 300 to RM 600,000 just on housing alone when they stay in JB.
If they bother about RM 400 entry levy per month and RM 4,800 per year I guess they deserved to be screwed badly by govt of both sides.
Foreign vehicles entering Singapore to pay 'reciprocal road charge' of S$6.40
SINGAPORE: Starting Feb 15, all foreign-registered cars will have to pay a reciprocal road charge (RRC) of S$6.40 when they enter Singapore via the Tuas or Woodlands Checkpoints, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced on Monday (Jan 16).
"The RRC mirrors Malaysia’s road charge of RM20 (S$6.40) per entry for non-Malaysia registered cars entering Johor, which was implemented on Nov 1, 2016," LTA said.
The road charge will be collected together with the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP), toll charges and fixed Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) fees upon departure at the Tuas or Woodlands Checkpoints.
Signs have been put up to remind motorists to pay for the applicable charges by inserting their Autopass card or CashCard into the card readers at the immigration booths, LTA said.
Motorists who evade payment face a S$50 fine for a first offence and S$100 for a subsequent offence. Those who fail to pay the fine may be charged in court and face a fine of up to S$1,000 or a jail term of up to three months, LTA added.
An average of 20,000 Singapore-registered vehicles enter Malaysia daily via the two land checkpoints.
Singapore’s Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said in Parliament last Monday that the Government has a “long-standing policy” of matching any levy, tolls or fees charged by Malaysia at the land checkpoints.
“This is to ensure that Malaysia takes into consideration our response whenever they raise their tolls or introduce a new levy,” Mr Khaw said.
Malaysia collected about RM13.9 million in road charges from Singapore vehicles between Nov 1, when the new road charge was launched, and Dec 20 last year, he added.

Confirmed today, the new Road Charge for entering SG will be implemented from 15 Feb 2017, immediately after the CNY.
MY enriched themselves effortlessly by introducing the new Road Charge, collecting millions monthly also allowed SG to do the same by reciprocation - MY indeed enriching thy neighbour.

I saw some Grab transport using J-plate.
Nothing Wrong. Got money both side get to make some. It's very logical. Si buay weak is that if people can do , you can't. Then you are sibei Weak.
i see more and more jiuhu cars on the road these few months in SG. $6.40 is ka jiang pu tei.
it requires 4 months for sg gov to match their price - si buai weak.
Not si buay weak la, SG gave them time to reconsider and make a U-turn but after realizing that they can collect millions every month they decide to continue with the road charge so SG has to reciprocate accordingly to the bilateral agreement.
This is known as "pang chance" for them to realize the implementation of a silly rule which actually may hurt their very own citizens and ultimately, their own economy
All ride motor cycle come into Singapore.
Malaysia wants to counter Sinkie Land's S$35 VEP woh? Ho Say Liao. Those Sinkies staying in JB and working in Sinkie Land (by car) will get hit jialat jialat.
Next time, it's cheaper to go to JB by flight. You'll get the captain saying "Cabin crews prepare for take-off" and within 10 minutes, you'll get "Welcome to Malaysia, the local time is now.........." Now S$35 on budget airlines can already get you to KL.

Taking into consideration the proposed all-in road charges, JB properties are considered expensive investment
Whatever charges is paid by the people, the govt just have to collect, why they bother especially when the govt is alreay going broke giving out borrowed money to the people to win votes.
They don't understand ultimately who suffers.

Fear not.
All the major Chinese development like Forest City, Princess Cove, Greenland, etc. were actually aiming at the Mainlanders.
According to the interview with the Greenland GM in attached video, about 90% of the buyers were Mainlanders.
A customer when asked why he bought a property in MY, he said because of the proximity to SG, its convenient for his children's future education! ([email protected])

Actually right now, Dr M and the Johor Sultan had just cross sword on this Iskandar / Chinese development.
Note the guy being interviewed @19.08 Lim Kang Ho, MD Iskandar Waterfront Holdings was also responsible for the failed JB Waterfront Lot 1 Shopping Mall, a mojor eyesore right in the city now.
That one is a simple illustration his "grand foresight" while all the things he said were just some politically correct stuff.
