    [SINGAPORE] Many Singapore residents cross the Causeway to shop and dine in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

    Despite the Malaysian ringgit strengthening against the Singapore dollar in recent months, many goods and services, such as meals, dental services, groceries and pharmaceutical products, are far cheaper there compared with the Republic.

    Hence, Singapore residents who are concerned about affordability can stretch their dollar in Johor Bahru.
