I went to Jb a few times, I don’t agree the food is better than Singapore, just cheaper. The best food in Malaysia is in KL or Penang, definitely not JB. Yes food is tastier in Malaysia but note Malaysian food tends to be saltier and more unhealthy, difficult to find healthier options like in Singapore.
I dont’t know about JB but when I was staying in KL, national parks there are not safe to walk at, many motorcycle gangs like to gather there. I felt very unsafe even in broad daylight. When I came back to Singapore, the feeling of walking free and safe even at night at parks is something I would never give up
Two other reasons not to retire in JB ... frequent floods and inconvenient public transportation
3rd reason, need to prepare kopi money time to time...
buy cheap car in JB
My relative once told me - if u had not encountered a case robbery or thief at least once in yr lifetime then u r not Malaysian 😂
@@father88888 is that a good or bad thing?
@@1m65 bad thing if ppl prefer tea....
I prefer to retire in SG. Make 1 to 2 day trips per month to JB for a short get away. I don’t think I like to up keep and maintain 2 houses during my retirement. Physically too demanding at old age. I prefer to do more trips to other parts of the world for better experiences than confined just across the causeway.
That’s true but I am really sick of travelling globally
Singapore 👍🏻
From rat race to race to causeway race... Life should be peaceful and calm when we reach retirement. What Singaporeans should do to prepare for retirement while accumulating wealth is to reduce excessive, unnecessary desires and expenditures... Plus unnecessary social activities.
It’s not just JB, the whole of Malaysia, except the highlands, is much hotter than Singapore. That’s because their towns and cities have lesser trees and not landscaped. They have less towering buildings as the land is large and widely spaced out. Walking on the streets of Malaysia can really darken your skin. That’s why the Malaysians are more tanned than Singaporeans. The islands like Penang, Tioman, Langkawi are much more scorching hot and I got sun burnt even though I use sunscreens. 😅
In big countries, getting from one place to another is more inconvenient and time consuming if they don’t have MRT. Owning a car is the most efficient way to get around. That’s why most Malaysians drive and you don’t see many people walking on the streets outside the city areas except the silly foreigners! 😅Some Malaysian households have 2-3 cars and motorcycles parked at their porches, as the family prefer to drive around since their cars are way cheaper.
I feel it’s best to retire in your own country if you have lived most of your life in Singapore as nothing beats the familiarity and sense of belonging. Think about the flush of emotions that encompass you on arrival at Changi Airport whenever you return home from your overseas trips. In your heart, you probably chant out “It’s great to be home”. That’s exactly what I mean. This sense of belonging is so comforting and re-assuring. At least, in my own country during my old age, I know I’m going to be well taken care of and enjoy the rights and privileges of my citizenship here. In another country, you’re just a guest, worse, face discrimination even if you may not be aware of! 😅
I think I have to agree with what you shared in the video, however if given a choice only to stay in JB or Singapore, I think the economic considerations favours JB greatly.
I don’t understand how straddling between 2 houses is money saving 😂 got to pay for and maintain 2 houses. Mr Loo, if I were u, I will just get a nice big condo in Singapore. My children will visit me more often if my condo compound is fun and have lots of space to run around. My grandma stayed in a cluster landed house with condo facilities. Every Sunday, all her grandchildren visit and gather at her house. I am very close to my cousins as we all grew up together, spending all Sundays together.
@@anonymouslycute7801 that is becos you have money. What abt the average Singaporean ?
Mr Loo, I can imagine that if you stay in JB, your grandkids will hardly pay u a visit 😅 u don’t understand how busy kids are nowadays. They can’t afford to spend time stuck at the causeway for hours. Neither is it healthy for them to travel at midnight like u do.
I found that the restaurants at Malaysia malls are not nice although the photo looks very delicious. You might find some good food at shop houses but you need to drive to different places for different stuff. So, if you do not drive, then is quite inconvenient.
LoL. Cars are cheap, if you are retiring here, is there anything to stop you buying a Malaysian registered vehicle?
You have to go further inland to enjoy cheap and nice foods.
Usually, people in Malaysia own cars and don't walk around much. Some families have a household income of less than SGD 2,500 per month but still own two Toyota cars, a beautiful landed double-storey house, and have three schooling children, as the cost of living in Malaysia is cheap and salaries are not high.
I know of people who migrated to another country and discovered later on that they were isolated with no real friends in a foreign culture.
Guess it is better for introverts.
While the food in JB is priced low and affordable, I've noticed a decline in quality due to the use of less-fresh ingredients.
Living in sg is good. No need to retire in jb
There is no perfect world or places to live. Do with what you have and make the best out of it. Be wise and your freedom with right choices and be happy for yourself or family. Tks.
This is not a well researched or prepared posting.
The subject is "retire in JB". Then he talks about having to negotiate customs and immigration.
Whether one can accept living in JB on retirement (for a Singaporean) depends very much on an individual's personality, character and maturity.
Over eating is not a problem with the cost of living but one's discipline.
Food is a personal preference and taste cultivation over a long time.
Adequate roads and parks are available in most Tamans in JB for walking/jogging provided one doesn't expect linkways between Tamans.
I agree that walking paths are inadequately provided for along most roads. But does anyone want to walk along roads? In the city area one can walk almost anywhere within the city limit.
Another area that I agree with the author is a less than desirable security for property and personnel. However, one can reduce the incidence encountering such experience through intelligent measures in protection, or not attracting unwanted attention.
Having a positive attitude is essential to enjoy living anywhere.
Actually those who do not drive should not consider retirement in Malaysia.
RTS coming
Got private hired Grab ?
Grab is quite affordable.but it u are a car lover like me then it’s a ideal place
@@Jaymore639 Might as well learn driving over there, maybe easier to pass. a mode of transport is needed to live there, at least a car or bike is more affordable there, when in Rome live as the romans do. Be it Rts or Hsr, in the future it is going to be very crowded, right now woodlands mrt and tel is crowded with trains going to the city while those towards woodlands north is sparse. Likewise for je and boon lay mrt. These 2 towns are flooded with people.
SG is an island therefore not as hot as JB during the day. At night inland JB will be cooler than SG.
JB is the big state in malaysia, not so conjested, more green less pollution， more place to go n explore, cost of living low, more relaxing, flexible rules . In spore like bird cage, everything is limited, less freedom, boring. Hard to compare with JB . More advantages than disadvantages. No coe, hse n car cheap is prioriity👍
All your points are good and valid. The issue is that this is a rich man problem, or businessman like you, not for ordinary folks. Rich and certain earners will have these FIRST WORLD problems Other than that no way. lol
Go anywhere also must have money, if U insufficient go anywhere also difficult 😢😂
Dear Mr Loo. I'm sure many people are aware of your wealth. Considering your high profile, I don't think it's advisable for you to frequent Johor Bahru (JB) due to safety concerns.
forgotten 3R issues
Thank u very much for your concern
Imagine some criminals also watching this video, they will target to kidnap him and his wife. End up have to do final youtube video. They even know where he stays.
If you already own a 300 sq m dwelling mortgage free and have more than SGD 5 million cash, it makes no sense to leave Singapore for JB.
Straddling means must live in 2 properties, then cannot rent one out already.
Good insight. Having stayed in Penang for 20+ years, I fully agree with Mr Loo.
I had started to shuttle between Malaysia and Singapore (staying a few months in each place each time) since about 3 years ago. It is not sustainable based on my personal experience; too tiring and one cannot commit long term to some activity/plan in each place.
If one reaches the stage of old age when independent mobility is an issue, one won't want to live in Malaysia.
Oh I would love to know more about your experience. Can interview you? Loochengchuan@gmail.com
As for greenery in JB, it depends where you live. I aam surrounded by trees and green. And I am 4 mins from the checkpoint.
Mr Loo, you mentioned you have setup a company in Malaysia. Will you have an episode to talk about what is required to set one up and the cost of maintaining it to fulfil the tax and compliance requirements? Do you need a local to partner with you etc? Thank you!
Yes! Agree, weather is very hot & humid…don’t feel like walking outdoors.
Of all the cities in Malaysia KL is the coolest, cooler by 1.5 - 2 degrees celcius compared to other towns and cities due to big greenery, lakes and parks.
People mostly walk or exercise in the gym because all condos and stratified landed homes have gym facilities. For outdoor, people walk in the park in the early morning or late evening when it is not hot and sunny.
Food can be controlled. Now, young people are very health conscious and eat heathily. Plenty of fruits and vegetables.
For Christians not much of a problem. It is big social circle in the church. For Buddhist it will be with group of senior citizens who exercise daily every morning in the park.
MM2H visa is more complicated and expensive:
There are 56,000 active pass holders from MM2H. Not a huge participants:
China - 24,765 (44%)
Australia - 9,265
South Korea - 4,940
Japan - 4,733
Bangladesh - 3,604
UK - 2,234
Taiwan - 1,000
US - 1,000
India - 1,000
Singapore - 1,000
Safety, no other countries can match.
it is hotter. hospital and government service standard 'not as good'(polite way to put it). don't feel safe(at home, on the street, etc). sacrifice all these for 30% discount on food?
Katak di bawa tempurung! Please come to JB and feel it for yourself. Don't simply make comments without the facts. JB is not like 20 years ago. We didn't force you to retire in JB/Malaysia. It is a good gesture and free will. Tks.
1) JB could feel hotter because of vast land, low-rise buildings, shopping malls, houses all widely spread out over. Whereas sg with lots of closely highrise buildings with air-conditioning all over. Lots of highrise buildings also block out the sunlight and feels cooler. Also mostly with green around and covered walkways.
2) Retirement in JB is very subjective. It's up to individual/family preference, situations, needs, choices and wise decisions.
3) As the saying goes - love/money makes the world go round! Important you/family are happy!😊🙏
Anyone who wants to live in Malaysia or any parts of it must at least know how to drive. You must own a car. It doesn't work like in SG where anyone can just hop onto a bus or MRT to get to the destinations.
Without any valid MM2H or valid residential pass, we are limited to 90days per year to MY, any stay beyond that is at the mercy of the immigration officer.
Yes yes yes. I spoke of this countless times before. They think retiring in Malaysia is like going to a shopping centre. Lol
Those people who bought properties in Malaysia will soon realize they cannot even stay in their own house. But still have to continue paying property taxes! LOL.
exactly! how to "straddle" like he says?? 🤣🤣🤣
@@anglo-saxonconnor817 They obviously did not want retirees but tourists, their MM2H is unbelievably strict and expensive basically they are saying we want your money but we don't want you to live here long term and profit from our properties.
If you are retiring, why do you restrict your options of only staying in JB. Do you need to commute everyday back to SG? Retired ... you can stay anywhere else cheaper and safer. If you expand your choices it can easily find a place to stay that meets your criteria. If cool weather you are looking for look at places such as Cameron Highlands or Genting; if you like beaches - Langkawi (Tax Free Haven with beautiful beaches.)
Far lah….
The International Living's Annual Global Retirement Index 2024 listed Malaysia as among the 10 best places to retire, surpassing France.. well deserved recognition. Tks
Most people in Singapore are limited in ability. The only way they know how to get the best of both worlds is to be near or within Singapore to do work to generate income and then hastily go to the nearest cheapest place aka johore to live and stretch their dollars. That is sign of limited ability.
A truly capable businessman can live very far away from where their business is operating and still have no problem and worries at all. If those harebrains are able to do this they will realise the world have so much spots to explore when it come to settling down and retirement living.
Unfortunately they cant. They always cant. The ability limit and ceiling is always there within themselves.
there are many S'poreans living overseas
Compared to countries hundreds of times bigger than Singapore that number is insignificant.
Thank you for your very good upfront alert especially on safety & security. Also not to forget the yearly heavy flooding and the notorious traffic & drivers' attitude there... big, heavy vehicles will not give way to smaller vehicles.
We need to get our government to be conscious of living costs for laymen.
used to have singapore ministers telling off unhappy singaporeans to immigrate to other countries or live in retirement homes in jb. i think these ministers have residentships and overseas properties too.
Medical support is a big consideration..no subsidies in JB when u fall ill and in emergency
best all relocate to JB, then SG will be less crowded lol
Gd idea 😅
JB will be more vibrant.
Great. Singapore residential property prices will go down and I will be going in for cheap sale.
Next time we will be switching places with the malaysians, most of us will be living in jb and they will live in sg.
Don’t just move there for retirement, please go and apply for citizenship.
Malaysia pr is minimum 10 years stay and you contribute to the country. Citizen is no way, unless marriage.
Another reason : Ringgit recovering, so costs of living will close up to SG!
I wonder if those Malaysians working in sg will vote for PN if Anwar did a great job and ringgit keeps on strengthening against Sing dollars.
Mr Loo, you are stressed by Singaporeans to make this video?
No, as I said, the video is inspired by the news article.
Just eat enough and normally will do
50-65 is critical age that determine how long u live n the quality. do u want to risk it with malaysia Healthcare system? how abt hospitalize n transfer over? waiting in jam? kena heart attack or stroke, the immediate medic very impt, otherwise don't die end up physically challenged is even worse. it may not b cheap to retire if considered all factors
Do you know, in fact, Malaysia's heathcare is one of the best in the world in retirement index.😊
@@bessieling3719 go read details. cheap n basic boost ranking. yes malaysia outpatient is good n cheap. not so for hospitals.
@@NahbehChowYes it's the ranking in the newspapers/google the government hospital is one of the best in the world. Well done! ❤
@@NahbehChowplease check it out for yourself about Malaysia goverment hospitals. Then you let me know. Tks.
done the weekend home thing for more than 10 years. glad to have sold my JB prop. the biggest gripe is crossing the borders. traffic, small lanes, inconsiderate drivers etc. not good for karma.
Before you even think of retiring in Malaysia you first need to fulfil their MM2H scheme first and thats mean beside putting money into this scheme you also need to buy a house in Malaysia too.
And then to top it off you need to still have savings in your bank account as well as meet your cpf minimum sum ceiling in Singapore so that you can get your monthly cash drawouts to convert and spend too in life.
Not that easy huh after knowing these? Lol
Goodluck. Vote off pap is easier.
It is still too close to Singapore which will still eventually be swamp by singaporeans and johore will quickly turn into the same as Singapore in terms of living cost.
To avoid this effect and enjoy a very good retirement must move further up north.
Can be Malaysia, Thailand or even into yunnan if needed. The higher you shift up the more beautiful the olaces are actually if people have travelled before.
For senior citizens spore is accessible everywhere for medical care unlike JB.
sigh. most of the reasons here can be overcome. making a big deal.
See the Malaysian Ringgit now is official RM3.20 per-SGD..sooner or later it will be RM2.90...all the talks that MYR going to RM3.80 all is over...😂😂😂
Hello Mr Loo, I am wondering if you can do a video on what you think would be the potential impact of RTS line on Sg economy? In particular I think property prices will be affected because Malaysians will be less willing to rent in Sg. What do you think?
I agree. Sure have impact on rentals
I think those HDB renting out to Malaysians will be impacted greatly
I lived in J . B for 8 years , I never tasted any delicious food in J.B. l think Perak is the best place for delicious Chinese food.
Your makan standard too high lah
YES you are correct. I am frequent visitor in KL and Penang too. Yes walking is not encouraged in day time as there are less trees and no walkway. The estate design kind of trap the heat within the living space
Penang has more trees thus is more cooling than KL and JB
The heat is significantly higher.... I hiding in Aircon most of the time
I agree with Mr Loo's recommendation at the end of the video! That's why don't sell your home in sg yet!
it depends on where you stay in JB.... impian emas is very cool as it has a lot of trees everywhere.
A lot of scam and crimes in Malaysia.
I read CNA & The STdaily also reported lots of scams going.. true or not?
Valid points brought up. Please share where to eat good durian in JB, Mr Loo
Ha ha…. Durian very bad for health, good for the spirit!
It is trees. Singapore has planted countless trees that help to cool and filter the environment.
自打嘴巴😂！No need to buy a COW if just need a cup of milk 😅!!
remember CLOB......ppl have short memory....
Good point! They literally robbed foreign investors during that time.
if you are on a wheelchair, wonder how are you going to move around in JB?
I am not going to be on a wheel chair.
@@1m65 Talking abt retirement. That means old already. Need wheelchair or not is not dictated by you but by your health.
JB is not even as mature as Ipoh, Perak (chinese town) who have lots of food eateries as Singapore and mature in every residential towns connected with MRT city rail convenience. Its a cultural mix Malays and Chinese and many public facilities are not culturally build ideally for Chinese but for Malays and area to one area is far and all citizens have to drive. But grocer wise a win situation, cheaper. And in terms of public security is not as best compare to Singapore. I disagree when you comparing the difference of the weather. I have travel both Singapore and Johor don't feel any differences.
I love spore as transport accessibility is super fast but the fare is rising every end December.
JB has no Town Planners,,,,, (even KL)
I find SG equally hotter.
Mmh2 is not open for application yet n require to buy a property of 600k. Special eco zone.
On your point on food and overeat. It's just a phase , once you stay there over a period of time you will have better control especially craving to cook n eat fresh produce in a healthy way.
That’s my plan the best of both worlds 👍🏻
Singapore cools its city through a combination of innovative strategies that go beyond greenery and shaded walkways. Green buildings, district cooling systems and employs smart urban design to enhance natural airflow. Light-colored surfaces are used extensively to reflect heat, while water features and cool pavements help regulate temperatures. Additionally, Singapore reduces car dependency by prioritizing public transport, cutting down on emissions and heat from vehicles. Despite these efforts, many still complain and prefer JB.
I prefer Singapore!
Must have enuf $ to maintain 2 homes & a Spore car. So no savings in retirement!
Want to live longer eat 70% full and everything in moderation. If you are 70years old but have a body of a 90 years old, better think twice retiring in Malaysia especially if you need to go in and out of S'pore n Malaysia very frequently. Mr Loo did brought up several valued reasons for us to consider. 👍
No enough money go JB, can still try Batam.....lower $$.
I don't think it's the food. It's the retirement lifestyle, sedentary state
Singapore is pedestrain friendly but not car friendly cos most people use public transport...JB is car friendly but not pedestrain friendly cos everybody use car/motorcycle....
flip flop again... so in the even either outcome comes true you also true! whahahahah!
Now malaysia things no more as cheap as before.
Avoid retire in Jb go further up and blend in go local..
Only one reason - solve it , and the rest will take care of itself. Resolve the customs Jam. Full stop. But then how to get viewership to monitise for income, if can't cook up more reasons?
Singapore is very small sure less crime , food not nice, weather also hot, boring, not many places to go, no disneyland, scenery not very nice, no mountains etc etc……
My personal thoughts are as follows. Will travel JB or beyond upon RTS completion n in operation by end of 2026. Then I will use the convenient method to go over for leisure. And of course making use of the exchange rate to maximise my lifestyle. Then after that go back home to Singapore n sleep peacefully.
Yes that is a nice lifestyle also!
JB MSW is very expensive la. I got good deal MSW in SG at $8 per kg which you cannot get in JB
Rare lah.
@@1m65 no you are wrong . That stall gave discount almost every day 😂. Now I m not sure still have MSW . If you keen can PM me😅
@@bryanlau3756 I want!
SG foods better than J.B.
Social circle, can start somewhere. Religious centre is a good start
Mr. Loo, I have been commenting this since last year, when you keep telling everybody to retire in JB before you bought your house. in fact its only suitable to very small pocket sgreans ppl with VERY close frens/relative in Jb that can help you when you are old. Im an exmsian btw.
If you straddle retirement in both JB and SG, it is quite ok for many to retire this way.
@@1m65 1. If straddle means there is no savings, keeping 2 houses how many can do? 2. Retirement generally means for ppl above 60 (of course can be younger for above average ppl), how long you can enjoy such straddle? After 70 how long more can straddle?
My point is it can be done, but how many percent of singaporean can do that? and of these small percent how many should but jb instead of rent?
Too much salt, too much oil, too much sugar to keep the flavor and good taste of the Cheap JB food. Enjoy! Hahahaha
Is sg food really perfect?
@@bessieling3719 I am only saying most food served in those restaurants mostly add generous amount of salt, oil and sugar for better taste. Not implying who is better or perfect.
@@KheeSoonJB not all makan places add too much salt, oil and sugar. You need to be street wise to know where got good food and yet reasonable price. Always look out for healthier versions. That too in sg. Tks.
But Malaysia food dirty and unhygienic I get diarrhea
Never consider to retired in foreign land esp Malaysia where racist is everywhere and security is below sea level couple with legal corruption 😮
Mr loo is very wise.
Thank you
He is biased not true
From place to place in JB can you take MRT or wait for a public bus?
Drive or grab
Mr Loo, you flip flopping, macam roti prata 🙄
Food in other part of malaysia is much better than JB. Retirement straddling between Singapore and JB is a better option when u still fit and healthy. But when getting older and unable to drive...that is a different scenario.
Get a driver when you are old.
You don’t need to drive big cars in JB to get robbed. You as a financial influencer is already loud enough to have the same risk as those driving big cars in JB.😅
If the robbers can find me…. I am hardly in Malaysia.
the food is good but unhealthy. i put on weight as a teenager during a holiday
When you have no choice jb is the only way even if it mean dangerous robbery theft or scammers a lot there.
Singapore becoming a place that attracts rich people who can afford the high costs of living n expensive properties theree.
Middle class people will eventually prefer to stay in lower cost JB😂😂
Talk about foreign invasion.
May I know did u buy any property. If travel back to back using 30 days social visit, can we buy? Will custom stop you?
Customs has never stopped me so far
Pros: You can buy nice house and car like 4-wheelers Jeep and Land Rover in JB, cheap things and petrol and once in JB, you can drive up North to enjoy.
Cons: Corrupt and slow moving gov. robbers, flood, dirty area and food wise so-so only.
The Food is so so? your standard very high leh
Earn in SGD, lives in JB. Doable. Earn in RM and lives in JB, mati lah,
Loo, at least now you speak up some sense of words.😅😅
Walk within your estate.
Yes I do that in the night
1. Higher Temperature in Johor actually Toughens up the Human Body, to adapat to the Global Warming Trend. Massive Exposure to Air-Conditioning most likely have made softies out of Many.
2. Over-Order of Food shows tha Person's Lack of Self-Control,..of Greedy-after-"Drought"...
3. No Such Thing as, "Best". Every One's Situation IS Different, Therefore, Solutions Shall be Different.
4. Crime is depending on One's Insensitivity to Dangerous Areas. Knowing How sensitive our Neighbour is, such Public Rants about "Crime" shows perhaps, lack of Cultural Emphathy and the world-Famous, "Singkie Arrogance-from-Ignorance"
Social Media such as Mr Loo's Posts, may be unknowingly Dangerous, because Mr. Loo only knows a small perspective of the Bigger Situation, and the Bigger Population of Ignorant, Shallow-Minded follow blindly / or without thinking throughly.
Everybody now is playing the game of trying to be influencial....No Qualifications need, only that of persuasive Abilities.
If my Memory is Correct, Mr. Loo Over-Paid for the Mount Austin House, and Renovated with designs that is not Naturally Environmental Cooling.....which gives Loo the Feelings of "Hotter".
Does Loo dare to reveal the Building Defects that pops up, after the "Renovation" ?
From the perspectives of Well-Frog-Singkies, these Monetary Figures may seem "Cheap" from the SGD Perspective, BUT from the Local Johorian or Msian, Perspective,..such would be, .."Stupid Ignorant, Loud-Mouthed Foreigner Over-Paying,... which Pushes up incumbent Local's Living Costs.."
Why Move out of SG,.. to struggle with the Infamous Traffic Jams at Tebrau Highway,..Proximity of Mount Austin,..to live in a Gated Estate which is also suspected managed by Power-Abusive Property Managers,.. and end up in a Prison, which is disguised as an Estate ?
Conclusion:
Be Considerate, Empathetic of Singapore's Surrounding Sovereigns, Societies, Culture.
It's OK to Retire in JB, Johor or anywhere else, so long as we refrain from the Dogmatic Singaporean Mentality...and Please Stop sounding like "we are smarter.."
P.S.
Why in SG when Flats are getting Smaller,..Cars are Getting Bigger ?
Can most Singkies really handle such high-Powered Cars Skillfully ?
dont think the food in jb is very nice.
You haven’t try enough of it
@1m65 some were disappointing
