GST to be raised to 7%
-
With the increasingly tight pockets, reduced spending, increasing overheads, I do hope somehow the taxes levied upon local companies are reduced. If not I would say there is little to no chance of a common person striking out on his own.Originally posted by will4:I am afraid more local will buy their daily necessities in Malaysia.
The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. -

Singaporeans driving all sorts of cars do get robbed. A fren of mine use to drive a beat up 1.1 litre Renault was openly robbed.
Here's the worst story I have came across. Drug smugglers look for families and hide drugs underneath the car. they then trail the car back to singapore and then stop it with two cars and demand the drugs with a stern warning not to report to the police.
I think the high crime rate in Johor is true cos even the msians are talking about it openly. -
Renault is an expensive car by standard in Malaysia. Ur fren should knew better than drive Renault into Malaysia.Originally posted by Mat Toro:Not true.

I personally felt Malaysia is a safer country compared to Indonesia, my country. -
If Singaporeans are braving Malaysia's crime rate to get their groceries, we can see how desperate they are...Originally posted by Mat Toro:Not true.

lure local buyer to buy locally instead of going to Malaysia to buy the products. -
there is definitely competition from JB due to lower rentals and salaries over there but really not enough to affect the entire retail in Singapore.
I used to go JB for biz, makan and some purchases but stopped going for many years because of the jams and crime situation. I heard from too many personal friends who got robbed there and even in klang valley. -

I wonder if the hotel do consider JB as a dangerous place, how come they still allow their guest to be put up in JB, Malaysia? -
Local education system is definitely good but it never taught about risk taking. Compared with HK or Taiwan school system, they can produced moreOriginally posted by Mat Toro:Did the education you had in school any effect on the way you think? Of course!
How can it not work when they have to study to pass it? Especially when it makes a lot of sense.
