They (State Government) of johore may evict them saying that they do not have necessary document to stay here in Johor Bahru. This might be real problem with this scheme. These elderly do not have the proper document to have a long permanent stay in JB or Malaysia.

I forsee there is this problem.

Can somebody advise with income tax filing to LHDN?
I received 2 types of forms:
1) Borang M2014
2)CP500 Notice of instalment payments

Which form should I submit?
So complicated!
TIA!

Dunno what's the plan for Iskandar. With slowing economy and GST introduction, Johor probably needs singapore spending in Johor more then singapore

They should just ask Singaporean not to go in at all.

Re: Small load move

like to check with you guys. As I am moving into JB soon. Do you guys change your mailing address from Singapore to Malaysia one? Also is it compulsory for us to amend our NRIC address as well?

I still have NS liability does that mean I have to wear civi to book in and book out so that I return back to my JB home?

I believe it was mentioned in the SG papers that LTA will look into matching the JB VEP in some form when it is implemented. My suggestion would be to include the RM20 (S$7.50) in the S$35 levy. For periods where the S$35 does not apply eg weekends and after 5 pm, LTA should just levy S$7.50 instead. As a goodwill gesture, LTA can waive the RM20 (S$7.50) for multiple entries when the S$35 levy applies...

This should be the fairest method and create the least controversy for Singaporeans. of course, for the Malaysians, they would be complaining.......

If the RM20 is eventually applied, coupled with moving all lorries to 2nd link, travelling via causeway would be much much smoother!

This will never happen because they will say if you have the money to buy their RM1m house, what's another RM20 for a daily pass?

I think you need to take into consideration about the toll charges too.

Toll Charges + VEP . That will be the killer.

On average, it's about S$20 per day, with the new RM20 VEP. Assuming 22 work days (5 day work week), it adds to S$440 per month. Still worth it, if one has existing SG properties to rent out, esp considering the time saved with the new VEP.

Depends on how much rental we make in Spore property,must consider time taken ,fuel consumption toll charges safety concerns,overall is it worth it ,long term they r killing their own people indirectly.

You mean you fine with renting your sg properties and giving away part of the rent for those levies?

With increased levies, it does not necessarily reduce the time travelling in and out. If traffic gets lighter, both sides may reduce the manpower to clear the customs and immigration and we may be back to jam again as the purpose of those levies is not to clear the jam but generate revenue for both gahmen.
