I never said I stay in JB. Do you actually read what is posted or you just assumed what is written? And the facts that i mentioned that you are twisting is not about the above, if you care to go back to your original post. Don't bother, I don;t think you ever get it. Now I know why there are...

Well PuteriWorld, I am not here to troll on you. As a matter of fact, I am a retiree and I have an apartment in Malaysia by the seaside which I occasionally enjoy with my loved ones. There is a mix of good things and not so good things living in Singapore and living in JB or any parts of...

Earlier you posted : " My neighbor in immediate office in Singapore bought a new Sonata for S$50,000 in Cash. In Singapore I heard its S$150,000. I think even with S$35 per entry he is paying extra S$80,000 over 10 years only and after 10 years he get to keep the car! That's why I feel S$35/day...

Sadly, I feel this is "too simple minded way" to justify making purchases based on "damn expensive in Singapore" and "Oh, so cheap in Malaysia" mentality. It is akin to comparing Apples to Oranges. On that note, why stop at a new Sonata? Doesn't a higher value BMW or Merc makes a value purchase...

Friend, I agree. SGD 1 vs RM 2.70 is only temporary. Eventually it will go to 3.00 :D

He was looking to make a quick buck trying to flip the property. In life, never bite off more than you can chew.

How about Europe? Each trip to the toilet cost Euro 1 (S$2.00), even at McDonalds! (eg Venice)

My analysis of why majority of Singaporeans have this mentality is the environment has made us 'petty, envious and extremely competitive'. We do not believe in sharing, in short 'to each his own'. That's my observation.

Non_Elite, you the man! I read all your replies on this thread and I like the tone and the sincerity in addressing the topic. We should have more people like you to make this forum a meaningful one. Good stuff and all the best!

Buy physical gold and store it. It's the alternative currency during uncertain financial crisis as a hedge from looming global slowdown, hyper inflation environment. Some say it will hit US$1,650 by Year 2010. (Current price, US$930 per oz)

I cannot deny these issues and concerns will continue to exist and it can happen to any country not just Singapore. If Singaporeans do not believe in their country's system (or propaganda) what other alternatives are they seeking?

The survey left out Zimbabwe, with billions you still feel hungry!:D

Appreciate your feedback, but to be fair not everyone shares the same concerns about NS, Exit Permits, CPFs. My share of concerns will be along the lines of future water supply, jobs, regional security, costs and standard of living. As I've said, no country is perfect: there are strengths and...

Malaysia is no doubt a beautiful country, and for many years when I was living there, I've never failed to impress on my foreign guests visiting to experience the country's food, sights and warm hospitality of the locals. These days my concerns are the rising crime rates and the costs of living.

Thanks but unlikely to be taking up the HDB benefit, and as for the Indian FT PR's writeup in the ST Forum, that's another story for another day.:D

I agree, that's one of the reasons why most Malaysians hesitate on settling down in Singapore permanently. Different folks different strokes, ain't nothing wrong with that. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing. All these points were carefully considered and much time was spent on forums related to this for the past many years. As for my children, I'll let them grow up in this environment and if need be, they will make their choice to be citizens of other countries, on their own...

Hi american, Well, if you take into considerations the earning power and disposable income of Malaysians, it is not really cheap as they still need to pay 25 years for homes and 7 years for cars. Most Malaysians would not claim that their houses or cars are cheap.

This, I must credit you for the point blank straight in the face fact. I accept the fact I'm 2nd class to bumis, but I do not find a good reason as to why my children should remain 2nd class and their generation after them. That brings to my point of starting this thread: Do ex Malaysians...
