Moving home is never easy and in the last two months I have moved from the west of Singapoor temporarily to the north and then further north and over the water to JB.
The difference is… amazing. Not for nothing did Malaysia adopt the slogan “Malaysia: Truly Asia”: life here in JB is simpler, friendlier and amazingly cheaper (half the cost of Sing or less!) and I believe that in other parts of the country it can be cheaper still. And, despite what inhabitants of the red dot believe, the food is tastier here.
So, so far, so good. It may be honeymoon days, and I am considering singapooreans warnings about safety as more neurotic rumblings (my home city of Manchester can be much more dangerous depending on where you venture and at what time and yes, there is crime and even killing in Sing – low underwear does not mean no underwear!).

Hey Neil,
Glad that you are adapting well and yes low crime doesn’t mean no crime at all.
