yeah.... JB is not that bad. agree with u.
Also the travel time is not that bad either. they keep saying waste 2-3 hours a day. but they never calculate the time spend even when you stay in SG.
For example. You stay in Sengkang, work in raffles place, you need to spend around 45 mins MRT ride. If you stay in JB, lets say u ride a bike, you only need around 1 1/2 hours to reach office (sometimes earlier).
in total you only spend 45 mins more compare to your SG counterpart, but in return, you get cheap rent, cheap petrol, freedom to move around.

gets to shout at people if they are impolite to you since its your own country, you bully people and not let people bully when you are in a foreign place
to me, residing in jb or s'pore depends on:-
0)if still single (still on a hunt, be it, career progression, opportunities, PARTNER, LOBANG etc etc). then i say s'pore lo;
1)you wanna pay yourself a 'home' (own mortage) or help other pay their mortage;
2)after work, go back to your 'home' or to your 'CUBE'; and
many many knew foe a fact that... one pay rent in s'pore is as good as paying your OWN 1)mortage PLUS 2)two Hire Purchases in jb
location of your work-place is critical for a decision here. thats why!! my butt has been around only in woodland & sg kadut presently for the past 12yrs.

of course, career progression has been limited... only so-so CO ard.. you win some lose some lo...not forgetting "chap-fun" at $2.70, no erp, travelling time 40mins between causeway...all this just for a higher spending power during weekends/public holidays in m'sia
