That's a fucking ridiculous logic. By your logic, than all those sinkies that have migrated to australia, US, UK. etc. should not have done so. These countries all have much higher crime rates, and violent ones than singapore. I can tell u they love it there. Best thing to do for is timid people like u to stay in singapore. The tens of thousands of sinkies who live in malaysia or travel to it frequently are apparently doing so dispite your so call high crime stats. That's the acid test there.
Well, you can move to JB because the house is bigger and better. You have a bigger piece of land to let your children run around. All these at a fraction of what you going to spend in Singapore
You can move to JB to enjoy subsidised petrol.
You can move to JB to enjoy lower conservancy rates.
You can move to JB to enjoy the living life with no stress.
But just 1 bad incident happen to your family and nothing can bring it back. Not all these perks you are enjoying.
It is a well known fact on the kind of notorious crimes being committed in JB. I have no questions on people who choose to migrate. But I cannot fathom people making all these choices based on the perks but not considering the cons on safety and crime rate.
Of course you will argue back that in Singapore you will also meet robbers. I know you would say this. But between a place that has a lower crime rate vs a place with a higher crime rate, it doesn't take an idiot to think where is safer to allow this probability to happen.
Until now I have only this point to argue on. Crime rate and safety. And even you have no solution, not to even talk about the Malaysian Police trying to bring this solution down. This is the major talking point and factor on moving to Malaysia, JB.
Start a business in JB, which gangster will come up and collect protection money? You know? A lot of people don't know. It's very common.
Another thing I would like to mention is education. How many who moved to JB are still sending kids to study in Singapore? Why not study in JB? Cheaper, nearer, no need to chop passport. No need to subject kids to long distance travel daily.
You can get a better yield investment from houses in Malaysia, you can buy pork flour, chicken cheaper in Malaysia, you can get cheaper water in Malaysia, but can all these points negate the high violent crime rate?
Logically I can understand people who migrate to countries where the crime rate is low, that is the 1st consideration for migration. But to JB of all places. Why not consider move to Batam. Even cheaper.
JB Malaysia and East Coast of Singapore. Your profile says it all. :p
