just curious got for those who work in Singapore but stay in JB, normal working hour (9-5) and daily commute to SG via car.

How was your experience and any tips or concerns that i should be considering?

other than tiredness from driving, i will get
- more money and savings
- bigger house
- better food
- no NS for my son
- int school for my son than sg gov school (not to say not good but i don't like the competitiveness there)
- better places to go during weekend
- more money and savings

and i can also consider renting a room in SG and go back only during weekends, if i am really too tired.

want to hear from all perspective.

Does staying in Malaysia vs Singapore avoid NS?
I thought it's simply related to PR status of your son

he's not a PR or citizen yet.

I don't think he needs to go for NS in that case, even if he's residing in Singapore

i know. which is why the choice was between staying in singapore and convert to SGrian / PR to study locally then serve NS, or stay in JB and go international school, and skip the NS.

think the point is not about NS, i just want to to know for those who commute daily from JB, any other concerns that I have not considered.
