'Thousands' of Singaporeans shopping in JB driving up food, rental prices: Johor chief minister

That is half true. A lot of dirty Tiong money had entered JB when Malaysia's current agong was Johor's sultan. That also drove up the prices.

Basically the Tiongs are trying to turn JB into Shenzhen and treat Sinkieland as HK, and use both places in SE Asia to extend China's influence.

Reminder about that sultan/agong:



 
Yet no one blames the motorcycle congestion because most are JHK coming to Sg to work.
Malaysian motorcyclists are my biggest nightmare on the expressways. I encounter many who weave in and out of traffic at high speeds w/o signalling. I have to be extra careful when switching lanes so as not to collide with any of these reckless bikers.

Tiong investment came during time of badawi. Johore sultan got state land and sold it for billions. Including property rights in the straits of johore. In case reclamation needed or in the case of RTS between jb and woodland, sultan insist the route passes over his water concession and pocket RM600 mil from the deal. He invited and locked all those people responsible for the RTS, confiscate their phones and only allowed them out after they agreed to pass over his concession.

Instead of holding PAP accountable for giving Sinkies,an affordable living standard, they prefer to go and create problem for others.
 
JB Minister understands the problem of having too many foreigners but why Sickipoora Ministers do not ? Or rather they don't give a fuck about coolie gene Sinkies ?

JB Malay ministar. And malays are not in business. So if price escalate, these salary people will complain while business people will celebrate.
 
Both countries should just close their borders, just like those 2 years during Covid. We will then see how the Mats and those DAP bastards will beg Sinkies to go over to JB. KNNBCCB.

The influx of Singaporeans flocking into Johor Bahru (JB) for grocery runs is pushing up the cost of living there, said Johor Chief Minister Onn Hafiz Ghazi.

Speaking at a business forum in JB on Sunday (July 13), The Star reported that he pledged to tackle inflation in Johor as the state moves towards achieving developed status by year 2030.

Onn Hafiz noted that living in JB is becoming more expensive than anywhere else in Malaysia.

"Thousands of Singaporeans cross the Causeway, especially on weekends, to do their grocery shopping here, and we are seeing food and rental prices going up," he said.

"A plate of nasi lemak with fried chicken here is around RM9 (S$3), while the same dish in Kuala Lumpur costs only RM7. That clearly shows Johor is becoming more expensive."

Addressing Malaysia's business community on Sunday, Onn Hafiz also pointed out that property prices in JB are "already higher than some in Singapore".

This is due to housing projects in the state selling "like hotcakes", he said, adding that more affordable housing needs to be developed for locals.

"The reason I am raising this is because I know I cannot do this alone. We must work together to make Johor, and Malaysia as a whole, more prosperous," said Onn Hafiz.

The Johor chief minister added that is administration is working on a mechanism to cool inflation without choking off growth, reported the Malay Mail.

More than 10 million foreign tourists visited Johor between January and May this year, with a bulk of them — about 7.9 million — coming from Singapore, according to figures from Tourism Johor.

That is 1.8 million more compared to the same period in 2024.
