The actual price difference between JB and Singapore is only about 20%.

Don't be fooled to think that is 3 times cheaper (based on exchange rate)

So for that 20%, you decide if it's worth your time or not.
Depends on where is the spending at,certain items can get 50% discount after factoring exchange rate

Then why everyone keep harping 1:3 ah? People math no good ah?

So things here $10, there sell RM$ 24 for example. End up is 20% cheaper?

Have to buy 5 items or service. 20% * 5 is 100% saving. The idea is must plan properly.

That’s because the inflation in bolehland is very high. Most of the people there cannot tahan already.

If here one item is S$10, can you get S$3 there for the same item? That's 3 times cheaper.
