  Imported things in Malaysia are expensive than Singapore, do not assume all things in MY are cheaper than SG.
  
  Bus fare up by 30sen is still cheaper than Singapore, imagine travelling from JB Town to Taman Ungku Tun Aminah ( some 15km away from town ), with a bus fare of RM2.30, which is S$1.00, we can't travel that far on SG buses in SG.
