Yes, I am a locum GP....
Find living in Sg too overcrowded and need to work till old to sustain lifestyle so thought of semiretiring in JB...I am 40 years old now...just wanna work less and play more..
With the 6.9 M population coming, SG will be much more overcrowded and living will become unbearable.
I had retired in Nusajaya, Johor for more than a year now and find it as good as retiring in Australia with the exception of the weather. Lots of things are cheaper, less crowds and more space, there are plenty of places to explore, overseas travels are much more convenience with Senai and Changi airports nearby, etc.
If you are concern about children’s education, the international schools here are much better than Singapore public schools. It is less hectic and you save on tuitions too. Marlborough College concept is very much similar to the holistic approach of the Australian education system.
If you are flexible in your work arrangement so that you do not need to be caught in the border jam, move over to enjoy a much better standard of living here.
