Living Standard in Johor Bahru

Before i begin, the idea of this blog originated from my friend who's from Kluang but working in Singapore. He told me, his colleague told him that, "There's no standard living in JB." Now.. take some time and ponder over this statement...

Normally, outside of JB, who will get to drive luxurious car? For sure, they are those who work as business man, executives or professionals. But in JB....

How bout houses? Who can afford to stay in semi-Detached house or even bangalows? It'll be those i mentioned above. But in JB....

Next, who can afford to eat in high class cafes and restaurant but not those ppl i mentioned? But in JB....

BUT IN JB.... anyone working in Singapore is able to do it. Regardless of their occupation. He/She can be an operator, a janitor, a security, an escort, a construction worker, DVD/CD seller, or even bus driver...

Where is the standard? Is standard being measured by money or measured by one's attitude and behaviour?

This phenomenon is so sickening that everyone who stays in JB are being supported by their relatives to find a job in Singapore. Even a simple OPERATOR in Singapore get paid equivalent to an ENGINEER in JB! NURSES in Singapore draws high pay than a DOCTOR in JB!

Thus, if it's money you're after, why bother going through the education period? Just go and work in Singapore~!

Why didn't the government do anything about it? Or there's nothing they can do. Singapore government should stop all this as it is jeopardizing JB's standard of living. Ppl in JB are slowly getting more materialistic... This is definitely not a good sign.

What can be done to stop this?

For me, the only option is to leave this state for somewhere where engineers are engineers and operators are operators...
