More Singaporeans choose to move to Johor

Netizens are discussing a phenomenon where more Singaporeans are choosing to move to Malaysia.

In fact, the number of Singaporeans who have moved to stay in Johor is believed to have doubled in the last five years.

One netizen recently discussed this phenomenon by citing the example of a Singaporean friend who has moved to Johor.

He described that his friend commutes to work in Singapore everyday and adds that many more are doing the same due to the high cost of living here.

Malaysian newspapers also recently carried reports that more and more Singaporeans are choosing to buy private properties and high-end apartments in Johor.

The reports speculate that this could be because salaries in Singapore can no longer catch up to soaring property prices here.

Many industry insiders also foresee that in the future, more Singaporeans will choose to buy properties in Johor.

This is especially so when the rail link from Singapore's Thomson Line MRT to the Johor train system is completed in 2018.

On the phenomenon, the director of a real estate company expressed that moving to Johor is impractical, as those who continue to work here will have to commute a long way to work everyday.

However, such an option does seem attractive as industry insiders note that landed property in Johor are priced from S$250,000, eight times lower than such properties in Singapore, which cost upwards of S$2 million.

I wonder how they tolerate the congestion at the Sinkie custom on returning.

Any one contemplating a move will weigh all the options, plan well and make a decision. All pros and cons are thought through before taking that step, including what they see in the foreseeable future.

Many of my friends are planning to move out after retirement too.

I think it would be great! Instead of meeting old friends in coffeeshops, I will travel around Asia to meet old friends.
