Read the chio bu who ranted about how bad the healthcare is in JB. Pictures included.

Although many Singaporeans have contemplated retiring in JB, or have already done so, I think when they need medical help, it's still Singapore they will be going back to?

This looks like HSA- a govt hospital, charges almost free
There are many private hospitals in JB. eg Johor Specialist, Puteri, Columbia, Regency, Kempas etc.
JSH is a JCI accredited hospital.Gleneagles is starting a big hospital in nusajaya opening year end
I don't think there is anything to worry about healthwise in JB

SG will only be a train ride away once the HSR / RTS are built. Going back to SG for med is not a problem.

Anyway, with the trains, the MY hospitals will improve as they will know that there is a huge market from SG just a train ride away.

Spent cny d1 to d3 in jb with mil as fil passed away recently and we r not supposed to celebrate....saw fireworks set off by neighbours, quite nice and colourful, quite a few of them every nite, something we never experienced before in sg, makes the mood more festive...

went to jpo first day and bought overpriced toys at kids insistence and cheap t shirts for ourselves....

bought umobile sim card at 7 eleven and kids managed to play wifi games but I could not surf at our house as connection somewhat slow for me but much better outside of my house like now at the eatery....

MiL quite impressed with the place and says it is a good buy to my relief, hope to come here for holidays more often with her and other family members if it remains untenanted....though there is a potential one now, viewing after cny....

Happy CNY to all.....huat ah!

Today I decided to do a dry run into nusajaya on my motorcycle. It was a breeze with no queue at all both ways. On the return journey, i got to bypass the 200m car queue and direct back home, felt a bit sorry for those in the cars. And the toll is only sgd 0.50 and rm 1.10 one way!

Pumped 15 liters of petrol at 75cts sgd per liter before moving towards nusajaya. I went to bukit indah aeon and surprised to see such a lively shopping belt with thousands of shoppers. They even have a gated and guarded parking for my super bike! Nice. Had a meal at the thai restaurant with sg food court price, bought some simple groceries at 30 % off sg prices. came back a happy man.

I recall reading before two Msian forummers here who said their family members received good standard of care in JB public hospital. One is chinese and the other I think is non-malay. For Singaporeans with no family relations in Msia, I think our only option is either Spore public hospital or JB private hospital.

Found out that the 24hr clinic at 8th avenue just outside Austin Heights charges consultation fee of just 15rm no matter when, PH or middle of the night....that is like S$6 which is so cheap compared to midnight consults in Sg 24 hr clinic which can be near S$90....glad to have such service near my place

Seriously I heard about how bad 1-2 govt hospitals there are.. But when one of my loved ones was made to wait 2-3 days to undergo a simple operation at KTP Hospital, I was thinking the Spore hospitals are not that fantastic either.

RM 50 to give birth to a child I heard in JB govt hospital. In Singapore, its a 4-figure sum. I can attest to the latter as I am paying a 4 figure over 10 years ago

I was once amazed by a good friend grandma who called the ambulance to come and fetch her to a govt hospital as her kids are working in Singapore

Her ambulance service, 3 nights stay in the hospital and the COST OF THE OPERATION come up to less than RM 100. She's Chinese by the way


In Singapore I don't dare to think any further regarding the cost.

There were once i visited my msian friend at tun aminah hospital. The hospital condition and environment is quite terrible even at the ward. Houseflies everywhere. But my encounter was 15 yrs back.

Tun aminah standard is horrible indeed.

The correct name is Hospital Sultanah Aminah.
This was once known as the General Hospital, JB.
