ORIGINAL: Awareness I knew a girl in Singapore who worked at Tan Tock Seng. From memory she used to shop in Malaysia and there were a lot of service staff - maids and the like - who used to cross from Malaysia to Singapore every morning for work and every evening to get back home. Interesting society. There is alot of foreigners who work in Singapore but choose to live in Malaysia and drive in eveyday for work. Malaysian students who prefer Singapore education also go across into the Singapore everyday for school and back home. I feel sorry for those. You can go to the customs between 3am to 4am, and you see these poor kids queuing up at customs already and they are very young. Like 8 to 12 yr olds. I wonder if they ever get any sleep. Everything inside Malaysia is 3 times cheaper than Singapore, rent, houses, car, food, groceries, gas, school, medical care, dental care, everything. So yea, Malaysia gets alot of business from the foreigners in Singapore as well as Singaporeans. Like international school in Singapore may be 20k a year, some foreigners choose to put their kids in Malaysian international school even though they are working here, to pay 1/3 of the price. And willing to drive in and out to send their kids to school there and pick them back up back. To save the money. The whole idea for them is, earn Singapore Dollars, spend in Malaysian Ringgit. The down side of Malaysia is, it's filled with corruption. Every security guard, police are all bribable. You can get away with anything, and you can forget about even parking your car near security. No use. The bad guys would have bribe the dude more, to close an eye. And house breaks in, robbery, car getting stolen is like a normal thing. Robbery often happen in broad day light, at busy petrol stations, or busy malls. And robbers are smart. They don't have knives or guns. They have a stringe with blood-like liquid inside, and they will tell you that they are infected with Aids, so if you don't hand them your money, they will stab you with aids infected stringe. And if you report it to the police, they are completely nonchalant and don't care. That is seriously...., a smart way to rob. Most people would freak out. And this is probably one of the rare countries where it cost a mere $2000 to hire a gunman to assassinate whoever you don't like. So cheap and easy. And thanks to internal corruption, the gunmen is always never caught. http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/cheap-gunmen-for-hire If your not real picky you can get a hit for $100 here.
