Singapore Drivers Going to Malaysia versus Malaysian Drivers Coming to Singapore – Who Pays More? http://www.msn.com/en-sg/money/topstories/singapore-drivers-going-to-malaysia-versus-malaysian-drivers-coming-to-singapore-%E2%80%93-who-pays-more/ar-AAkBNzb?li=AA54rX&ocid=spartandhp

The SG government had been releasing too little residential and commercial land to cope with the increased population in the past for obvious reason. Now all the massive township planned by the Chinese big names just outside the perimeter will ensured that SG's property best days are over.

Maybe his big chunk of holdings has already been converted to US$.

Looking around what's happening in Malaysia, I can only see RM$ weakness ahead. All my friends are very worried that their properties will depreciate further with little exit route except to default on the loan.

Many are avoiding coming into Johor because they heard that Bersih 5 may suddenly erupt in Johor city centre.

Back in 2009, S$1 bought you RM$2.38. Today S$1 bought you RM$3.10. Are you better off taking into account the 20% down payment and progress payment made over the past few years with a weakening RM$ then till today? Did the property appreciate enough to mitigate the currency translation loss...

Long term weakness of the RM$ make investment in property very tricky. Anyone who bought Princess Cove 3 years ago may be sitting on losses even before the key is ready for collection.

Reuters rate RM$3.1005.

I believed the persistent weakness of the RM$ will ensure high demand for products & services n JB throughout this festive season and beyond.

What's today's rate?

What's the MC rate?

Do you mean: "no traffic jam for peak travels" ?

It is free flowing traffic because of the reckless, ever increasing toll charges and not forgetting the impending VEP on SG plate. Would you even consider buying a property in Malaysia after learning what's going on for the past few years?

Today is the 1st weekend since RC implementation. Let's see how the traffic pattern change (if any).

LTA have decided to match Malaysia"s Road Charge in due course. If Malaysia decides to accelerate their VEP scheme,I think both link will be very free flowing and property sales there will be at a standstill. Unenviable circumstances for existing property owner.

One must know that there are many border line cases or sandwich class family in Singapore. As such they have to resort to buying JB properties, shop/dine and golf in JB. It is this very reason of savings a few dollar here and there can they stretch their every dollar overseas. Not advisable to...

If the RM$ stay weak and shoppers deemed its worthwhile shopping and dining during this festive season, the jam will be back in no time. But surely some family will explore visiting JB using public transport.

Usually the Monday heavy jam are mainly contributed by business travellers.

Only way to avoid paying is to ride a bike or drive a taxi.

No more meaningful savings for day tripper.
