awhtc 6th Gear August 17, 2019 Share August 17, 2019 If they enforce consistently. Surely singaporean people will comply. Its just a matter of being clear and consistent with application of their policies or law. Agreed if they reject you if u don't have the proper paperwork, then u need to get it. I dunno if they need a special permit or pass. If it's made clear to those living there. Why wouldn't they comply? If the prev officers never check in the first place, then obviously thousands of people won't bother to comply. People are lazy by nature. U can tell 100 people 10x need to have this pass and start first Jan. But u still get people who bo chap or just plain forgot. It will be good for Singapore government to make all Malaysians working in Singapore to stay in Singapore. Landlords, transport providers, retailers etc will have a booming business and the 1st and 2nd links will be very clear. The government will earn from the additional taxes and hence, lower taxes for Singapore citizens. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singaporeans should stay in Singapore to contribute to nation building (taxes). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If add this pool into the demand, the delicate balance will be disrupted once again. Rental and price index will shoot through the roof. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is stopping these work permit holders/ PR residing in JB from renting /buying a place and staying in SG? Besides family link, cost is probably a big factor. More staying here, border crossing will be worse on Fridays and weekends. All balik kampong. Our govt don't really want factory workers earning $1-2k a month to stay in SG, the limited rooms we have here are reserved for those earning >6k (can bring spouse) and >12k (can import parents too). We even want to send our poor aged and sick to JB nursing homes. Lol Edited August 19, 2019 by Voodooman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic August 20, 2019 Share August 20, 2019 (edited) now renting out 1 room already can smelly smelly make $600 in hdb imagine with the spike in demands .... 1 room can make $800-$1000 more sinkies will hold on to hdb and cheong private (which is already happening but dampen by ABSD) if the monthly rental yield is good ... ABSD cost is simply transferred to tenant spore property price will shoot through the galaxy to mars sekali more and more hdb got 8-10 rooms in the unit with 6 legal tenants + ghosts What is stopping these work permit holders/ PR residing in JB from renting /buying a place and staying in SG?Besides family link, cost is probably a big factor.

serenade 6th Gear August 20, 2019 Share August 20, 2019 My condo senior security guard travels in daily from JB on his bike. JB is where his family lives. The $2.5k he makes here, when converted to MYR is $7.5k in Malaysia. This more than what a manager earns in a big Malaysia city. If he is forced to stay in SG and pay for a room, food and petrol, this will result in take home pay reduction of SGD1k. No longer attractive to work here and we will be short of guards, technicians, free-lance tilers and skilled construction workers. Work here, spend in MY is best of both worlds even after factor in traffic at Causeway. My guard goes home and drives his luxury car around JB after work . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zxcvb Turbocharged September 20, 2019 Share September 20, 2019 https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2019/09/20/johor-govt-mulls-lowering-rm1mil-threshold-for-property-acquisition-by-foreigners JOHOR BARU: The Johor government is looking at lowering the current RM1mil threshold for foreigners to buy property as an incentive to sell off 51,000 unsold properties in the state. State Housing, Communication and Multimedia Committee chairman Dzulkefly Ahmad (pic) said that properties priced at RM600,000 and above make up between 60% and 70% of unsold properties here. "Among the incentives that we are looking at is to review the RM1mil threshold of property prices for foreigners to buy property in Johor. "The matter will be reviewed by the state Land and Mines Office as the matter comes under their jurisdiction," he said when met at a property fair held at a shopping mall here on Friday (Sept 20). The Kota Iskandar assemblyman however assured that the lowering of the minimum threshold would not increase property prices for locals. The measure was introduced by the previous administration to stabilise domestic prices from excessive speculation to enable local interests to acquire quality properties valued less than RM1mil per unit, especially residential units. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
