Thanks for doing such content. Im a Singaporean planning to live in JB and work in Spore too. Its so stress here over money for a common Singaporean like me, without expatriates' skills and connections. In order to save about $500 per month, i cant eat better, i cant buy and use a lot of things, i cant go for hobbies and interests activities, i can only stay at home after work with KZbin, and i hate my job and the people there. I just want a better life outside of long working hours and low pay. 😰😭

[@mir7684]

I do feel you.. 😢

[@acheable]

Balanced resort livestyle. Stay active with daily exercise at different resort and enjoy the best in Johore and Singapore. For RM$2,300 per month stay 2 N @ RM$300/N for every weekends in different Hotels and relax on the deckchairs at the swimming pools and recharge to the fullest without the extra "baggage" of keeping the rental hse clean n tidy.

Thank you so much! We released another video about Johor 2 days ago! Do check it out!

[@estoniumcollection2049]

Good video on the perspective of Singaporean living in Malaysia. I think the grand question that is on everyone's mind is - how is this achievable for a normal Singaporean to live long term in Malaysia? Based on what is made available to the public, one needs to apply for the "Malaysia My Second Home - MMH2" which has extremely stringent requirements such as a minimum monthly offshore revenue/income of RM40,000, RM,1,000,000 in fixed deposit besides others. This is around SGD 11512 in income at today's exchange rate. If one has such a high income, he/she might as well remain in Singapore.

[@ThomasLi88]

Excellent point raised. For any ordinary Singaporean, we are granted 30 days social visit pass to enter Malaysia. It will be good to explain how does one qualify to live in Malaysia long term. If a high income is required, it defeats the whole purpose altogether.

Living is all about lifestyle. You can live very cheaply in some Asian countries, but if you get sick, you will not find the type or quality of service that you would expect. Now and again I will go back to Singapore and the one thing that I appreciate most is where I live now, I can plck an apple or plum from my backyard and that was what I have always wanted to do - grow my own fruits.

Happened to stumble on this video winch popped up like those investment training videos! The way it's described, she seems to be living in a cocoon - in double-security gated community unlike home where it's like a triple-gated community bigger cocoon with air, land and sea protection with free movement and few security worries for the common folks! It's appropriate that she is single - seemingly - san children and grandchildren - so few or no wifely, motherly and grandmotherly obligations. The scenario would be very different for most Singaporeans with wife/husband, kids and grandparents. The few times on road trips is like getting out of the cocoon - which any ordinary, indeed most Singaporeans could enjoy anytime during the long holidays, school vacations or annual leaves. While space may be a premium for tiny island Singapore, space could also be a constraint and a price to pay. Wait till you have lots and lots of space and you will realise - like in continental Australia where our combat planes fly freely and soldiers run till they drop. You can't walk to school or shopping malls! Tightly-knitted Singapore allows one just to hop around looking for hawker centres and shopping malls and parks - any time without getting pass through security. There is nothing like home - a place you where you grow up and where families and friends are around, and where you don't feel uprooted or foreign - living in familiar surroundings where one can move around with eyes closed and ears plugged literally - day or night! To each his or her own - really, honestly. Living in a foreign country one has to be polite, diplomatically correct on what one says - otherwise one can be easily booted out or have passport stamped "Notis Penolakan Masuk/ (Notice of Refusal of Entry) - at a moment notice! Sama sama for Malaysians who wish to live in Singapore.

To stay in Malaysia , you have to obtain MM2H to be able to live here as a foreigner and this is quite difficult as the requirement to obtain MM2H has a difficult for most people. To do a passport run from Malaysia to Singapore and back is not feasible long term as the custom officer will know you want to stay in Malaysia permanently, they are more stringent now compared to the past

Hi, would it make more sense to rent rather than purchasing a unit with bug capital outlay? Any thoughts and comments from anyone?

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

If you watched our other videos on Malaysia, we highly recommend renting. There is way more supply than demand, it is a renter's market all the time. Coupled with the weak ringgit, any purchase of real estate in Malaysia converted from foreign currency is a straight depreciation.

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

Actually foreigners can buy landed homes in Malaysia. They have to be more than RM1M in purchase price. We have been advocating to our foreign viewers to not buy property in Malaysia but to rent. The weakening ringgit and the surplus supply of real estate in Malaysia are not great signs to invest in a place. There are other factors as well, but those are the 2 top ones

Owning a vehicle in M’sia, it’s better to drive a SUV or 4X4. Occasionally, you may travel around driving in through e.g. trunk roads, beaches, country sides. Perhaps a trip up north regions.

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

Yes, you have a point. If one lives in KL, Johor, Perak - it's best to drive a bigger car. Better to navigate tougher road conditions as the roads aren't well maintained in certain areas and also driving on highways. If one lives in Penang, a sedan would be better as roads in Penang are narrower but well maintained.

I often read messages from the other prospective. Many hear the good things but I focused on the bad things. To go for the good things is easy but to make the necessary changes to make bad to good is very difficult and to do it is silly because why not just go for the easy way, saved time, effort and maybe money. Happy, you are there, yes. Sad, you are there, yes. I cannot say this generation but this century, people are different in their philosophy about life, mainly because they don't have much spare time to think deeply into the situation, choice and consequences. Should we do something about it or just go with the flow and concluded "what come may". Someday, will Singapore will much diluted because we are surrounded by water or would it be OK instead of drinking pure water settled for diluted water? Whatever your take for now by your decision is also for your future generation to come, think about it?.

Six hundred plus Sg dollars to rent a landed property is insane. Can live like a king while ringgit keep depreciating from 3.4 to 3.5 and may be RM 4 in time to come.

Actually in johor you will find most are malaysians from other states renting houses as they are all working in Sg , thats why jb is overcrowded now since border opened , without the causeway JB will be peaceful like during the lockdown and causeway closed

I believe most of your fears and negativity are made up. My wife from Switzerland live in the heart of Chinatown in melaka among Samseng and Ahlong for twenty years without any sense of insecurity. Step out of your false comfort zone.

Thanks for watching the video! Go in peace, dude

[@ninjaturtle6106]

Samsengs and Ahlongs won't bother you. They only bother people who owe them. It's the drvg 4dd1cts and 1lleg4l m1gr4nts. But if your house has nothing of value to them, they won't trouble themselves.

[@hummit]

Can’t extrapolate your experience in Melaka to JB. My relative who’s a native of Penang said every household in her neighbourhood was robbed at least once. There are so many videos of open daylight robberies with robbers armed with parangs. Snatch theft by thieves on bikes. You are just lucky.

[@hummit]

@hieveryone2003 Please carry on.

[@LittlemusicbearEntertainment]

How about visa for those who wish to regularly commute in and out for work?

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

There isn't one, we believe. Just use your passport to go in and out like a normal tourist. What you have to understand is that there is a mutual understanding between the Johor checkpoint and Singapore. This is because thousands of people go in and out between these 2 daily. However if you fly in and out of Malaysia daily or weekly or even monthly, immigration is definitely gonna question you.

Why is it insane? A double story terrace house in a not so grand housing area is 1000+ MYR per month. I didn't watch the whole video. From the small fragments I did watch, it seems to be horizon hills, which is a bit more expensive.
