Jansonchua 2nd Gear August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 I read in Spore ST that JB shops n merchants already start to complain to JB gharmen that their biz is affected quite badly n wil get even worse when other charges r imposed on visitors(Spore cars). Many said if it continues, No choice but to close shop. I think JB wil have to do something to bring back our biz. Lets not make it so easy this time. We hold back till they really give us very good benefits like very cheap petrol n groceries n ciggies, etc b4 we start to go back into JB again. Next time they wil know not to play play with SG motorists. The thing is I don't sense that their government cares much about the businesses there unless something massive happens... The other thing is it is near impossible for them to make things cheaper because the cost was gradually increased over the years so unless economic crisis, prices won't change much... ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U see when their elections r coming.....then u see if the govt care or not. very easy for them to get voted out. There pple not happy just vote OP. U see petrol n ciggies first to drop. Then follow all those tolls etc. Govt controlls a lot of costs to Sporeans in JB. They can easily start to reduce the prices very fast. Faster than our gharmen even. When many biz start to close down then rentals drop n property values fall like a stone we wil sure see things happen veey fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business sure very good now that RM16 toll will likely encourage more risk taking. So how many cars kanna directed to park one side? ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
