But you could potentially be competing against people who are hungrier, work harder and more eager and more talented… results matter.

Both countries have their own challenges for the workers

My wife is sg and it can happen. In fact, it's quite prevalent but most have 'converted' or don't disclose.
However, your chances to find such a wife is very slim if you need to stay in JB but work in Sg. In short, financially-challenged.

Converted? You mean the husband from Malaysia's converted?

Or the ex-Malaysian wife converted to take up Singapore citizenship?

Opps sorry for ambiguity. Husband from Malaysia's converted. Many have assimilated into Sg so well that you won't know until you casually ask if they have holiday plans.. that's when they speak about 'balik kampung'.

Yeah... I'm also at the verge of thinking of trading my passport in....

Wife traded her in decades ago...

Better keep one as backup la. Wife and child can be Singaporean and you can still hold as Malaysian, then can retire her, better environment and house is cheaper too

how can the environment be better here? hahaha

floods, mudslide, water disruption, high crime, 3-5 million illegals everywhere.
poor education system, unstable politics, corruption, bribery
collapsing economy, collapsing ringgit
racial tensions, religious politics
which one is untrue i ask u?
open your eyes!

u think big land, big house, big car is everything??...u think can compensate for all this? once you step outside...problems everywhere...
(i assume you own big house, big car...all cheap material assets to singaporean)

wife/kids singaporean....you think they coming back with you to retire? u think your kid wants to work here when he or she grows up?

admit it...sg better than us...even their "pigeon hole" HDB as we like to call it is spacious, better maintained and worth a million ringgit after conversion.
and KL (240 km2) is actually 3.5 times smaller than sg (735 km2). compare city to city.

if got chance run quickly!!!! if not sg, then australia....for the sake of your family.

dont live in denial, or paste cotton wool over your eyes!

I mean cheap than living overseas and our medical for old age even If private is affordable compared to.SG. especially if you already build your wealth

dude, i give you my honest opinion...

it's cheaper in malaysia compared to sg yes. but "cheap" only if you earn sgd and spend in malaysia.
it's not "cheap" for a malaysian who work and live here.
and our medical facilities are below par compared to sg. u want cheap or u want your life?
even our political leaders go to sg for medical treatment...just google.

there is no such thing as cheap or free medical treatment
someone has to pay for it...directly or indirectly
u think doctors, nurses, medicines, hi-tech medical equipment just drop from sky?
you get what you pay for...pay peanuts get monkey
if got chance u go to their public hospital, and u compare with our public hospital in KL...the difference is so clear

That's what I am explaining la 😅


After working hard in SG, spend the money here on retirement la. If give up Malaysian citizenship, then waste loosing the privilege.

My comments is for hksgmy because he is right now working in SG

ok as long you are happy and content, bro. Australia is not bad either.

cuz she young, female, correct race?

out of curiosity...u know the TS personally ah? how you know he did not pay income tax? or you just assuming, making things up so that you have something to post here?

fact: only 1.3 million malaysians (or 4% of population) pay income tax out of a population of 33 million. taking out kids, students, retirees, unemployed, housewives....this is a huge number not paying despite enjoying all the privileges as a citizen living here. you should focus your attention on these groups.

At least some of them still milking enjoyment/escapism from Malaysia forum. And such enjoyment is priceless. Msia protected you at least 20years before they fleeing away. Rohingya wan a place to sleep also dun have. Not grateful at all and still dare to talk bad about the place that raised you up.

the TS asking why his work pass rejected. he didnt say anything bad about malaysia.

yeah might be that case. i have also submitted my application last year aug. lets see what will be the outcome
