Many Singaporeans often wonder - would their life really look very different living across the Causeway? Is it safe? What kind of life would one have in Johor? Can they get the same creature comforts in Johor, as compared to Singapore?
In this video, we sit down with a friend to have a casual conversation on how is it like moving from Singapore to live in Johor, Malaysia. We just want to share with you a little perspective on life in Malaysia, specifically the state of Johor as it is the closest state to Singapore and very accessible and achievable for Singaporeans to hop over.
Hi everybody, it’s Fran and John here, the Corporate Breakout Couple. We retired in the year 2020 in Singapore, and moved over to Penang, Malaysia in 2022. Ever since then, we’ve been creating videos on costs of living in various countries, early retirement videos and videos related to mindset and finance.
We hope you enjoy watching this video, do let us know in the comment section if you like it! We welcome any queries. Do share this video with your friends and family!

Enjoyed this interview thoroughly. It’s nice to know Malaysia from the eyes of our Singapore friends too
Thank you for watching!!
u get mgged in daylight..n killed by drug addicts
As a Singaporean we all can see the sun, jog......and most important Singapore is green and very very safe. Singapore go to JB/Malaysia for food shopping golfing. Singapore currency strong so can do more in Malaysia. Singapore is still my home.
Zzz. S
Thanks for the video, fran and sox! Stay safe and well in msia.
Thank you so much!!
wow, she speaks heartly and openly, i totally agree with Sox
Thanks for watching! Sox is a genuinely authentic person and we are so glad that so many of you enjoyed watching this casual conversation video. ❤️
This is eye opening and incredibly insightful....Keep the vids coming!
Thank you so much! We released another video about Johor 2 days ago! Do check it out!
I saw both of you this morning filming at East Coast 😊. Thank you for the interview. Its harder when you have children who study in Singapore.
Oh wished you had stopped by to say hi! Thank you so much for watching our videos!
Yes....I agree with you 😭
I wanted to make the move as my workplace is around the Jurong/ Tuas area but my wife and kids don't feel the same way as their friends/ relatives are here in SG 😂
Looks like it can only materialize once they've grown up and can drive in and out on their own 😝😝😝
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 UA-cam, and i hate my job and the people there. I just want a better life outside of long working hours and low pay. 😰😭
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.
Awesome!!
Great interview!!! I was always curious about what MY is building riiiight next to SG, and I spent hours in Johor Google Maps.
Thank you!! There are lots of developments happening right next to Singapore in Johor. Some are big hits and some are failed projects, just like anything in life - hits and misses. The place where Sox is at is called Horizon Hills and it's 1200 acres of land!
Really warm and genuine talk but quite informative as well. I am guessing the location is Horizon hills Estate?
Thank you both for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Yes, you guessed right!
Thanks for sharing.
You are most welcome!
Yes! Agreed that it is so much cheaper. A same pair of Nike Air Jordan purchased in JD Funan Center and JD in Midvalley is S$40 cheaper! 😅
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.
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.
Feel free to watch our video breaking down the various visa requirements for Malaysia. It can be found under Early Retirement In Penang video
@@corporatebreakoutcouple Hey, why didnt you mention on what visa is she renting the house? Can rent a house with any visa meh?
You can get Udders ice cream at Mid Valley : ) But I love baskin robbins here in JB. For supermarkets, there are BIG, Pasar, Jaya Grocer and Village Grocer in and around Iskandar area. - these are upmarket ones well above NTUC std
Nice!
Hello Sox and Fran❤
Hi Kevin!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Well said
Thank you for watching our video!
If Singapore has got no space constraints, i think this place would be a much more better place to live. Kinda agree with her also. All u need is not just physical space but also emotional space. Thats why i like shopping in JB and also the affordable makan treats 😀. SG everywhere u go also crowded. Great interview..
Thank you very much for watching!
Fully agreed! I’m also a Singaporean living in JB ❤
@@rogerjane1350 so awesome to know this! Which area in Johor?
crowded in tokyo-hk-taitung-jakarta-manila-bangkok
That's so true. I am happier in Melbourne when i worked there as the people are so friendly and stopped to say hi and chit chat. The workforce here know how to have work life balance. The social interaction and spaces help a lot for physical, mental and social well being. I am personally looking at retiring out of SG
Australia's work life balance is next level. ☺️
This is the life..retired and can own a car, golf club, no need to cook , can also afford a helper so no need to do housework yet live in 4 bedroom house. Very wise to move to JB.
Actually, the rule in Msia is you need to show you have young children or elderly before you can hire FT domestic help. But I hear the influentials can get away with it simply by their connections.
Thank you for watching our videos! ❤️
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.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hi Fran! Hi Sox!!
Hi Hwee Suan! Great to see you here! Thanks for watching!
Love it
Thanks for watching! ❤️
I’m a retiree and planning to stay in Malaysia. Your video has inspired me even more to go there. Please share where’s the place currently your staying thanks
Thank you so much.
We (Fran and John) are currently living in Penang.
Were you referring to the place Sox is staying at in JB?
we drove around iskandar puteri our last recee! the place soooo much stuff happening, the developer really planned it super well from schools, recreation, hospital, food, entertainment etc this gives us yet another option!
You guys can be neighbours with Sox. Then we can visit all of you in Johor next time ❤️
Gosh I learned so much from this video! I wanna live in Iskandar too! Can we be roommie Fran!?
Haha! You can room with Sox! Lol!
Or better yet, be her neighbour
Hey CK,
Please come down to JB. Will be moving there soon 😀. You will drool non stop once you see the place in Leisure Farm. Come stay with us! Come down with Fran and John and we will have a nice satay party 😀😀😀👍👍👍
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.
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 love the golf part she spoke 👋👋👋as I'm also a golfer....
Sox is an avid golfer
Can tell that she is having a great retirement life in JB
Haha yes! We've never seen her so relaxed and happy
Hope more and more Singaporeans move to Malaysia, and in that way, we can have a more thriving ans safer ecosystem and community there.
Love the way you think!
@@corporatebreakoutcouple hi is there any development similar to where Sox's staying? I like the idea of running freely, swimming and golfing! It would be nice if we Singaporean could form a small community amongst the like minded. 😀
@@Kelberi one of our friends just mentioned to us a place called Leisure Farm in Johor. Apparently there is quite a number of Singaporeans there as well.
Hi, would it make more sense to rent rather than purchasing a unit with bug capital outlay? Any thoughts and comments from anyone?
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.
shld hv included a house tour.
Perhaps next time. It's just a casual conversation after all.
Do you need to travel back to SG monthly or under MM2H?
She has family in Singapore that she goes back to see on a weekly or bi weekly basis
Any chance you will make a video for those of us who do not need golf courses and prefer to be near medical facilities, major shopping and also prefer apartment living?
Done already a few videos back! Go check it out on our channel. Title is Retiring in Johor
Senibong Cove is a really nice place and all that you mentioned is very close by. Also do consider Leisure Farm....condo living but on the ground 😀
will there be any issues at the custom if a singaporean like travelling in and out of msia, not in a day, but like a couple of times per month?
There are actually a lot of Singaporeans going in and out of Malaysia daily, weekly, bi weekly etc. Even when we were living in Singapore, John would often make trips to JB for a few days with his buddies or we would be in Penang /KL frequently. Of course, we are speaking from our own experience only.
If I am not mistaken Singaporean has unlimited stamps to enter Malaysia, same like Malaysian entering Thailand, unlimited stamps for Malaysian entering Thailand.
i see, if u limited stamps for singaporeans to enter msia, then it makes sense yo seriously consider making msia a residential option. cos i feel getting a long term visa does add to the costs and i m afraid if i travel in and out of msia too often, their custom will make things difficult
Also the RM2300 she rented is it partial furnished or fully furnished? Thank you so much!
Partial furnished. Need to put in beds and a dining table only.
What Estate is she in?@@corporatebreakoutcouple
I agree with Sox about everything. The only problem is you will need a car in such a vast area. The public transport in Malaysia is poor.
Definitely a car is a must! This is for the entire Malaysia, not just Johor. The beauty is that car prices in Malaysia is affordable and petrol is subsidised.
U go USA and see.... Then talk about Public transport.
No density, no easy way to solve public transport lah
Malaysia is way much bigger. KL has decent public transport with MRT.
@@vtanson2724Even in Spore....I can't live without a car 😅🤣
If call grab in Malaysia, they charge differently if it rains they charge more n after 9 pm grab cost 40 ringgit for a 10 mins ride back home ! in other far flung areas they charge 80 ringgit! I took a grab back one night n they charged this price !
I think she said the Hard Truth but some sgreans may be defensive and unhappy with bad news about sg which they may not be used to hearing their whole lives?
It's undeniable that Singaporeans have it good in Singapore.
That being said, it is getting more expensive to live in Singapore & more and more people are feeling the heat
@@corporatebreakoutcouple I expect things to get much worse. Given chicken feet, what will be taken back? Entire chicken with GST?
I prefer to stay in Singapore but spend less. JB is not convenient without a car. Some places are not safe too.
You definitely need a car, not just in JB, but the whole of Malaysia
Which part of Johor Bahru is the guest living?
Horizon Hills
True. Singapore is too stressful.
Singapore is very fast paced, hence the go go go mentality
Hi i need help, i want to ask, as a singaporean staying there, do we need to apply a long term pass?
We covered on the various visas for Malaysia extensively in our other video titled Early Retirement In Penang. Do check it out
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
Feel free to watch our video that breaks down the various visa requirements for Malaysia. It can be found in the video titled Early Retirement In Penang
@@corporatebreakoutcouple Please let us know on what visa is your friend Sox is living there.
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?.
We appreciate your thoughts and sharing!
I'm just wondering how does Sox stay long term in Malaysia? Are there any immigration passes that she needs to get?
@corporatebreakoutcouple please answer this question
May I ask what the name of this estate is? Also, other than Mdm Sox, are there also other Singaporeans living there too?
Horizon Hills estate. Yes, according to her, quite a lot of Singaporeans live there. There is another one called Leisure Farm and our friends tells us that there is quite a community of Singaporeans there as well.
Saw another youtuber saying the visa is not that easy to maintain. Anyone can advise on that?
Changes are coming for MM2H. Be on the lookout. Anyway if you live in Johor Bahru, in all practically you don't really have to get a visa as you can just go in and out to get your visitor visa refreshed for another 30 days. Many Singaporeans have already been doing it for years/decades.
Can please tell me exactly which development is this eg Horizon Hills? Thank you so much
Yes, it's Horizon Hills
Thank you for replying! Horizon Hills has a lot of estates and developments. May I know exactly the name of the estate she rented? Thank you so much once again and deeply appreciated! BTW i have subscribed and liked all your channels!
@@williamlau81 Iskandar Puteri, that's all we know. Hope this helps!
By the way does Sox travel back to Singapore to endorse her VISA?
Sox visits her mum frequently in Singapore.
Wow, Sox, good choice. May I know which project. Can consider renting a pl there.
Horizon Hills
Leisure Farm is nice too. Have quite a number of Singaporean community living there 😀
Agreed
What visa is Sox holding in Malaysia?
Feel free to watch our video on early retirement in Penang where we breakdown extensively on the various visas one can have in order to stay long term in Malaysia
Was there a discussion on how Sox addressed the long term stay VISA problem which faces Singaporeans?
Feel free to watch our video that breaks down the various visa requirements for Malaysia. It can be found under Early Retirement In Penang video
If dont have long term stay VISA, take your own risk crossing Malaysian customs, sometimes they not happy they'll just write a remark on your passport "Entry Alert"!
Actually i am 57 , i am kind of open to living in johore. I wanted to buy a property to retire. Should i buy or rent if i were to retire in MY. Eg is R &F good. Or what is the defination of a gd property. If i buy as a foreignor , i dont want to end up like forest city. Property in MY is over supply, purchasing at a premium price , is way overprice. Exiting is really a issue. Your inputs will be appreciated .
Please don't buy. Rent is the way to go. You will have plenty of choices and rent is very affordable. Why lock up your money in a property? You already pointed out the over supply, Forest City and exit issues.
Ty for your inputs. It helps a lot. If u have extra cash where will u put to grow. Am a nerb in stocks. Am learning to buy t bills, bonds, fix deposit. Etc. What else can me and my wife do to make our money grow. .
@@candosqdawn6196 there are many ways to grow your money. Many How To's. The question isn't how to make your money grow. The question to ask yourself FIRST is what is your risk appetite? How much can you afford to lose? What is your contingency plan if something were to happen & all your investments are lost?

no joy in Singapore because of the energy and vibes from the people.. quite negative n frustrated. JB on the other hand is boring but gets you a chill feeling. People seem laid back.
Interesting observation!
Can she advise how she can stay so long in Malaysia is she on a MM2H or other kind of long term visa?
You can watch our video on early retirement in Penang where we share all the visas available for people to live in Malaysia long term
If you want even BIGGER SPACE..live in East Malaysia..Sabah in particular. We have the Rainforest, the Mountain, beaches, Islands and Signature Golf Courses.
West Malaysia have more Japanese retiring there..while Sabah have more Koreans.
We look forward to exploring Sabah in the near future! Fran has been to Sabah many years ago and she loved it! Can't wait to go back
@@corporatebreakoutcouple
We have much better infras thesedays..wider roads and flyovers. Our Gov hospitals have all the tech that you need..and we have a number of Private Hospitals too..like Gleneagles, KPJ, JMC and others.
@@ninjaturtle6106 that's great to know! We will definitely be doing videos on Sabah and Sarawak in the future. The seafood in Sabah is one of the best that Fran ever had.
hi may i know what is the name of this place in Johor you are staying
Horizon Hills
Thanks for sharing your experience .. however you mind to constantly watch out for safety .. I saw a group of six pickpokets at KL .. a poor young couple from China were busy in flea market .. I saw their wallets and passports were pickpocketed .. 😢 .. another one is a real video by the home owner .. his home hidden camera showed two robbers carried a long knife broke into his terraced house .. 😢
Thank you so much for your concern. Agree on always being vigilant.
Our home in Penang has flood lights, cctv and alarm systems in place.
once I went to my brother's HDB in Singapore, I stood in the middle of the unit, I could glance at the whole unit in one go.
Wait till you see what a million dollar 1 bedroom condo looks like in Singapore. 500sqft of space, sometimes less.
@@corporatebreakoutcouplenot 1 Million, its 2 M in orchard 700sq ft 1 bedroom.
@@blessedcheflim8579 CCR isn't just Orchard ma.
How about visa for those who wish to regularly commute in and out for work?
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.
Sox Rocks
Yes, she does!
Singapura formerly owned by Malaysia, and known as Pulau Hujung
Thanks for sharing this piece of history! ❤️
Good info, what VISA Sg people can apply for long stay ? Also do you had plan to buy one in long term ?
MM2H is the best route for long term stays, unless one has a Malaysian spouse and can apply for spousal visa.
@@corporatebreakoutcouplemm2H visa has very high criterias. Any other options that we may seek?
I thought Foreigner are not allowed to buy landed property in Malaysia? So this is just a rented house ? That would be 8400 sgd a year n 10 years will be 84k sgd if rental doesn't increase . Long term plan should buy a condo ?
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
Thanks for the info. Does Sox has MM2H? How is she staying there for long term?
Im also curious
We did a video on early retirement in Penang where we covered extensively on the various types of visa available.
I know there are MM2H and Digital Nomad however I'm retired and i only want to stay in JB for maybe 2 years. Is there any way which is more simple to achieve? Thanks for your help in advance.

Maybe Singapore is too safe😂😂😂 like Sox said, use common sense😃 Kip safe n be happy❤
Haha yes, use common sense. Singaporeans are too used to being complacent when it comes to safety.
Cos in Spore if the robber drive too fast the car goes into the sea 🤣🤣
How is the visa issue?
Visa will not be an issue if one qualifies for the relevant visas. It only becomes an issue if one does not qualify for any of the visas available for application for Malaysia
Sox has MMH2?
Where and how to rent this place…? Any lead..or intro…?
Google Horizon Hills rental and we're sure something will come up.
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. Our money sure stretched to the max while inflation is growing fast in Sg. Still, buying a residential property in Malaysia is not a wise choice if it's for capital appreciation 😜
Yes, don't buy in Malaysia. Too much supply and not much capital appreciation.
The long term depreciation of MYR is almost guaranteed as long as the bumiputra policies remain, which is cast in stone 😉. Plan your SGD spending wisely as the rent over there can only get cheaper.
The window of opportunity to buy on real cheap during Covid in good location....it's gone. Too bad.
how do you compare a apple with a durian? that's why the malaysians are working in singapore and afford to buy houses and cars in malaysia.
Both fruits 😂
Aiyoh, she is not scared of course. She is a madam, who dares to rob her?!
For normal people like me, walking on the streets quietly.... I get THE stares and looks.
I try to blend in too: slippers, shorts and t shirt, no jewelry... Comeone, i wear a casio g shock! So low key, yet i can feel the look.
My friends also confirm it.
Sigh.....maybe i am just magnet for bad boys.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
You may know she is a Madam but the robbers won't know. Haha
Who are the people usually giving you the look?
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
SOCK is her name...hi hi...im shoe.
Hahaha!
More like Sox. It's a nickname deriving from her Chinese name
You missed the days soldiers need to greet you wherever they passed you. Outside camp nobody gives a F. Anyway, good to see this interview.

Your videos are interesting, but why are you always sceaming?
Haha thanks for watching!
Not secure living in malaysia,must be alert,my relative penangist did advise us don't come out too early in the morning when we sent to penang
Safety everywhere cannot be taken for granted, even in Singapore. A lot of it is common sense and staying vigilant.
Fairprice is nothing, when you have Jaya Grocer
Yes, we love Jaya Grocer too! However, not everything is available in Jaya Grocer compared to Fair Price Finest (gotta add in Finest as we are comparing Jaya Grocer and not Giant)
@@corporatebreakoutcouple really meh. I could find everything. Namely, what other things can't find? I went to the biggest jaya grocer at edu city
@@ISTARI22 we live in Penang and the Jaya Grocer there doesn't stock certain types of cheeses, sauces, certain personal hygiene products etc etc which are easily and readily available at Fair Price in Sg.
@@corporatebreakoutcouple ahh u see. I was very impressed with the Jaya Grocer at edu city JB. It is the biggest in Malaysia I heard. Impressive array of cheeses and so much things. More than fairprice finest actually. You should go!! It's very very nice and grand
U need to get mm2h or one day u are going to kena lim ko pi with immigration
Money is the Key word la ..
Money may be one but courage, determination, vision, action and intention are also key words.
Money is the key word anywhere you live...in JB you can really cut down your expenses significantly 😀
I think ur dog is feeling uncomfortable or even back pain as dog bone structure isnt built for them to stand or sit on their back
Thank you for your concern! ❤️
Exactly, I’m wincing throughout the vlog looking at the poor doggo. 🥹
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
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.
There is a lot of brainwashing on the other side of.....😂😂
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.
@hieveryone2003 Please carry on.
I lived in plentong for 3 yrs....johor is firlthy, open drains stuff with sewer, buses r crappy, dirty n seats r broken, robberies in broad daylight, protittion in the day time in bars, houses r caged with iron bars

No peace of mind.If foreigners feel JB or Malaysia not safe,then dont come lah.Do not talk about security concern yet enjoying life like a King.Do not be hypocrates
There is no mass shooting in Malaysia at least and no robbery in my neighbourhood, but we remain vigilant, it is a must wherever you live.
RM2300 rental for a terrace is truly insane.
Isn't it?? Shocked to the max, in a good way
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.
@@hann659 spot on!
When you know there's nothing worth stealing in your house...you can just leave your house peacefully. I leave my house doors wide open. I only close the gate. Not even lock it. I have dogs in the house that need to have freedom to go out poo n pee.
Wow. Is this in Johor or in other states in Malaysia?

Not saying there's no crime in KK. It's very low.
Just saying..when you fear no loss. You lose nothing.
Of all things she missed Fair Price????!!!!
Haha yes. Why not?
Nonsense lah, you have the money to choose, some of us don't, so we have nothing to speak about.
Ok man. Take care and God bless.
It starts with your attitude...if you think you can it can happen and likewise 😀
save yourself all the hassle and just stay in KL instead. With the ETS coming online why bother to stayJB anyways.
Retire in Penang like us ❤️
I think JB has better living environment IMHO. And if course easy to go in and out of Singapore 😀... especially if you do not have a resident or working visa
no matter what, malaysia is a better place to live than in singapore... anf singapore government dig every cent out from your pocket... horrible life for the low income earners..
Really?
Singaporeans better learn how to maximize their currency when buying property in Malaysia, and Malaysians already know how to leverage the Singapore dollar for a better life. Don't think Malaysia's crime rate is high, Malaysia is one of the safest country in the world
It's actually a win win situation for both Malaysians and Singaporeans, when you look at the big picture
Stay in heavily guarded housing area and said that is the safest country in the world...😉
@@kcchiew4247A heavily guarded home cost only 10% of what you pay to your govt on the side！who is the bigger robber?
@@siewamcharles3698 Not all Malaysian can stay in heavily guarded home. And we are using exchange rate to enjoy cheaper items in Malaysia. What is the cost of living for ordinary Malaysian?
@@kcchiew4247 almost all landed property built in the last 2 decades is Gated and Guarded！and most of the old estate also set up their own self managed G&G and each is paying about Rm70-Rm120 monthly. I believe in KL more than 70% people living in G&G house or condominium.
Cost of living expenses in Malaysia varies so much between KL and small towns where some can even plant their own vegetables and chicken and their cost of living per month could be only be a few hundred Ringgit and many low income earner can apply for "landed" low cost housing at Rm30000 for a 3bedroom house. Don't worry, no one is in hunger or die of hunger！
Is that a man or a woman?
Woman la
Woman of course.
@@corporatebreakoutcoupleI would say a woman with a man's heart😊😊😊😊
Don’t be rude pls. Asking gender.
Im not being rude. And you should stop being dumb because I'm asking a factual question. There's only either a man or a woman. @@praveenrc7227
