That's is the sacrifice you have to make. Else, if the same, everyone would have move to JB by now. Typically crime rate is much higher in JB than Singapore. That's a fact. It's pretty hard to define 'dangerous' but if you ask me, i think it's a 'cowboy' town .

Never heard of 30days/year rule for foreign vehicle just that you have to ensure "the vehicle is kept or used outside Singapore for a total period of 6 hours or more everyday"

you have to check the cam during peak hour. now midnight of coz ok
you could also consider using 2nd link which cause more for the toll.

the vehicle is kept or used outside Singapore for a total period of 6 hours or more everyday <-- I dont realli understand, means i can drive my car in SG n juz park there for as long as i want?

and...2nd Link highway usually wont jam even in the morning?

If you're getting a S$ salary with Sg local salary terms, why do you need to consider staying in JB? Whatever they were going to pay you for car and accommodation if you stayed in JB, just tell them to pay you the same amount as an allowance and you decide yourself where you want to stay.

not to discourage. don't come if can't make certain sacrifice, there are always pros & cons, simple as that. depends on individual lifestyle.

2nd link by 6.45am u shall reach JB custom. not sure why since last few weeks ago more & more cars, maybe some coming from causeway.

wtf

that is why i wanted to know to what extend of sacrifices i had to make before i commit, to be frank i'd rather to be staying in SG, dat's y i wanted to know if its possible to use my Msia registered car in SG without going out from SG everyday?

the ruling for you to drive a foreign registered vehicle is that you residential address must be of singapore ie Malaysia/JB. Your after office hours parking in HDB areas will be quite expensive, you should still decide to drive & park your vehicle in singapore

what's your budget for using Malaysia registered car in Singapore.

residential address as in house I'm renting? or i need to be a PR?

btw how much it cost for parking in HDB areas? for monthly?

You can park your car at Johor. Come in singapore and if need to travel, call taxi at your own expense lar. Since you have getting sort form of car related expenses paid by the company. Taxi is everywhere, just a phone call away.

You cannot said you made sacrifices, you earn extra $$$ due to conversion and it balance off. If you stay back in Malaysia, i also can say you made sacrifices for earning less income by having more leisure time. So, both side also pro and con. Depends on what you want. Some people who earn less, they work 3-4 jobs a day in malaysia and these people doesnt have any leisure time at all, are they not sacriflying???? What is the meaning of a real sacrifice means?

Added on March 28, 2012, 9:05 amcovered car park is SGD 90 per month. You likely to apply this one by showing car ownership certificate and your tenancy agreement to show that you are staying there and require a car park. Not sure if Malaysia car plate can get monthly car park or not.

Hi guys,i need so advise on my job matter, i just resigned and currently i got offer for 2 job which is based in KL (rm3000) and SG (sgd2000), Im still in dilemma on which job should i take the offer actually... KL seems good because over here i got my own car,house.. But over there in Singapore have to rent room myself and use public transport .. but earning SGD 2000.

Really tough choice for me.. Any advise ? Thanks alot

^ beside the money, any other consideration
married ? got children ? got GF ? got sister ?
your own house or parent house ?
your age ? your field ? graduate ?

if u single and young, and not so good looking, i think worth coming to SG

Own house,got gf staying together,23 years old,Automotive field,Diploma in Automotive...hmm

almost quite similiar to my own spec and that time i make the decision to come
then again i come from ipoh, dead town, it was either KL or SG

What your advise Ivan ? SGD2000 in SG is that enough for me to save up and spend some over the weekend or RM3000 in KL could do the same thing?

sgd 2k is really not enough...
unless u sahre room with others.

My expenses
room rent 700
PUB 50
foods and drinks 500
transport 80
HP/broadband 50++
parents- 400
MISC- 100
expenses is around sgd 2k per month

when i work in malaysia my 1st job (6 / 7 years ago) is rm 1.8 k and i can save 1 k per month....amazing...
while my salary reach 4k++ i only can save max 2k mostly is 1.5-2k

the more you earn...the less you can save....
the less you earn the more you save
