Even though most of us usually move to the thriving concrete jungle of KL for work and pleasure, there are just some things that our hometowns simply do better, especially when our kampung is Johor! After all, it’s the only southern state in Malaysia that is just one bridge away from another country. ?
If you’re a fellow Johorean, you would confirm agree that these are some of the best reasons why living in Johor is awesome!
1. Can enjoy Singaporean entertainment so easily!
I Not Stupid was such a phenomenon lah!
Ask any Johorean, and they would reminisce the times watching Singaporean TV shows and movies on Mediacorp’s Channel 8 and Channel 5, catching up with the news on Channel NewsAsia, and even listening to Singaporean radio stations like 987 FM and Class 95 FM for the best music in town. Truly a unique luxury that only Johoreans can enjoy!
2. Savour authentic Johorean cuisine 24/7 – yummy!
From yummylicious kuih muih like pulut udang, keropok gian and pisang goreng with spicy kuah kicap, to main dishes like laksa Johor, kacang pool and nasi briyani gam, every Johorean cuisine you can dream of is just around the corner, no matter where you go! After all, good Johorean food = good life.
3. Traffic is sooooo nice, compared to KL, Penang or Melaka
Where got two-hour daily traffic jams when in Johor? Even though Johor’s traffic has slowly become more congested over the years (even more so when Singaporeans turun Johor again), it’s still better than the more populated states in the country! Plus, you can still enjoy all the amenities, shopping and entertainment that previously can only be found in the city, without ever leaving your zen zone~
4. Life is a beach: Can go on holiday SO easily!
No need to drive for hours to go on vacation here wan! From theme parks like Legoland Malaysia and Adventure Waterpark Desaru Coast to beautiful locales such as Desaru, Pulau Tioman and Rawa Island, it’s a crime how crazy accessible all the awesome vacay spots in the state are, especially white sandy beaches. Mari turun Mersing!
5. Can work in Singapore and still be close to home in Johor
If you’re willing to tolerate the commute between two countries, you can take advantage of the lower cost of living in Johor and earn the higher value salary of Singapore, tripling your income (as of this writing, SG$1 = RM3.19)! It’s no wonder so many locals are opting to work “overseas” and still stay in Johor to be close to their families.
6. We get to enjoy special telco plans made especially for Johoreans!
