Re: Not bad being a Malaysian (at least in JB)
On top of that, VEP is waived from 12 noon during June and December holidays. So if they come in a 3 hours later than usual to earn a living, that is another savings of (4 weeks + 8 weeks) x $100 = $1,200 per annum.
Malaysian drive cheap cars in Singapore with dark tinted windows. Use cheap petrol and pay cheap road taxes. Actually not bad being a Malaysian (at least in Johor Bahru) don't you think. Kids no need to do NS. Hmmmm, wonder if Malaysia wants me.
You forgot to factor in the road tax, insurance and petrol.
For a normal JB vehicle, one year they use about 4000 litre of petrol. For RON 95 they save RM 4000 per year and RM 40,000 over 10 years
For insurance, a normal JB car I have is just S$300 compared to S$2000 for Singapore per year. Over 10 years, you know the difference
For Road tax, my Malaysia 1.4 litre car cost just S$50 per year compared to my Singapore car at S$700 per year. Over 10 years, you know the difference
S$20 VEP is a thing of the past and is being misused by Work pass holders etc who are enjoying the best of both worlds. $20 VEP applies when a COE is $10K and below. Now it is irrelevant.
