It's damn tiring. But this is the price you pay to enjoy SGD1 = RM3 and having your family close to you.

Thanks for the cpf info. Sorry, my mistake. Bto is only for those Singaporeans unless one of u convert to SG citizenship.

I invest in foreign stocks (US and Hong Kong). U can open an trading account in banks or trading firms. I basically open in iOcbc Security. For tips, i suggest u go youtube and listen to Peter Lynch videos. It will give a rough understanding of how to invest in potential stocks.

I'm trying to get a trading account in Malaysia, in progress already, thanks for the advice.

My partner and I had been there, but the public security in JB really worries us.

I'm not expert in trading and investment... maybe you can get more information in the investment thread.
I think public security in JB is normal hmm.gif besides, you are a Malaysian right... JB is just like any other city in Malaysia... you need to be careful with your belonging and surrounding, that's all. If you compare to SG then yes, security level is different, but as Malaysia, you should do fine, we already heighten our senses
As for staying, just stay in gated and guarded area.

Lobang for car pool biggrin.gif
Not lobang actually, it is huge business. Just google and you can get. All major township have such service but Bukit Indah area flourish the most.
You can even start your own business if you have a seven seater or a starex MPV

Wow, u can really save lot and have the spending power in Malaysia. My superior always drive his SG car in out and his house is near Taman Molek. Quite expensive.

TS, u can maybe consider buying a house in JB and take car pool. Then find a nanny to help u take of your child.

Hmm... you can say save money but you still waste a log of time on the car. Minimum 4 hours per day and easily 6 hours if have jams.
6 hour in a car with nothing much to do except sleep and playing with phone.
Besides as these are car pool, your need to have fix work time means no OT. You cannot really cheong for your work.

True too. There are pros and cons. I just pity those children who travel to SG to study in a daily basis.

Yes, I had been seeing students travelling to and fro just to attend primary/secondary school in SG, despite the higher cost of education here!
Just wao..

Ya, use to be very popular last time, but recently after SG increase school fees for PR and foreign students, and also the launching of more new international school. There is less students traveling over to study
