if anwar can get out of jail, jibby also can

most important is who is PM ... if UMNO back in power, jibby can be out at no time ...  

Currently, the biggest blocks in UMNO & DAP.

PM is someone from 1 of the smallest block.

Mai lah Bro

anyway you can always still drive up or fly up.  No need HSR

Flying is 4 hours end to end, much longer. 

Love to burn carbon but when I am in my 60s, driving 4-5 hours may not as fun anymore.  My dad, an ex-Genting veteran, doesn't even drive much to JB these days.

    Likewise, sillyporeans motorist changed cars like changing underwear , count me in too, my old car up lorry and a good used car is relatively untouched, can't be bothered to register VEP as nothing heard from Johore Bahru side . 

   It is Black Swan pandemic situation now, no laymen would be sane enough to go in JB, I'm sure Robbers, con-men and mad peoples all welcoming us . . .

Without HSR, Ipoh/Taiping and Penang become better destination to retire at under MM2H scheme. At least Penang from airport to anywhere on island is max 30 mins. If take Second Bridge, Taiping is within reach from Penang airport in just over an hour, and Ipoh in another hour.

Flying is at least 5 to 6 hours end-to-end ~ 30 min to Changi, 1.5 to 2-hour check-in, 1-hour flight, another 15 to 30 min to exit the plane (more if you are seated behind), custom 30min to 1 hour (depending on how many lanes open and how many officers playing sudoku while working), waiting for grab/train at KLIA (30 to 45 min), travelling to KL (another 45 min to 1 hour depending on road condition).

Might as well increase the variable in the middle (referring to the 1-hour flight) to further destinations like Taiwan, as their custom is more efficient and there are not so much waiting at the airport, the nett travelling hours are only incrementally slightly more. My 2 cents.

Me too. Along with missing Penang, Malacca, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. I am sure the hotels miss us too. Numerous hotels, even the big ones have been forced to close for good with no tourist arrivals.

I used to fly SG/KL at least once a month. 4 hours is doable. I don't check in 1.5 hours before flight departure, 45 mins can liow.

Everyone loves Taiwan but it is not my cup of tea.  I prefer China and Japan to Taiwan.
