You think SG govt will be so stupid to let private companies, especially those tech firm where they can technically work from anywhere, move out to JB where they don't need to pay so much for office rent? Even if pay their existing staff in SGD, they give up one or two levels at MBFC also a lot of cost savings leh. And loss of government taxes.

our decades of importing FT, their salary oso mainly TT back to their motherland, never contribute back to sg GDP.

I don’t have confidence this deal will carry on if their government change. The HSR is one good example in which the plan fell through after a change of government
Another stupid one is the VEP.

I had paid my Bunga Emas of RM10 tribute to JPJ already. Not doing it the 2nd time round.

Although the findings, announced in July, showed that 93 per cent of respondents view Johor as an attractive investment destination, talent shortages posed a major concern for them. Nearly 60 per cent of the businesses polled reported difficulties in sourcing skilled workers in Johor.

I read tis lmao😂

All along say sg not enuff talents or skilled talents. Tats y hv to import ft. Plus majority of foreign workers r from Malaysia.

So now is saying Malaysia dun hv the talents n sg hv is it?

Just send d jhks back la. Bizs save alot by paying them in Malaysia pay level n ringgit also.
Lol which jhk "talent" wants to go back work in JB? 1sgd better or 1RM better? SEZ will FAIL.

The only way it has even a chance to work is to turn the SEZ into a Sing dollar zone to solve the so called talent problem. Singaporeans will not do weekend shopping there liao.

They want Sg to hold their hand and give them candy on the way. It's a different kind of learning.
