The_King Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 JOHOR BARU: Johor will present its case to Putrajaya on reopening Malaysia's border with Singapore as soon as possible. Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad (pic) said that the state government would table its plan to the Economic Action Council (EAC) on Oct 19. "I have asked the Federal Government to consider the state's request to fully open up our border with the island republic. "The plan does not only cover the importance of opening our borders but also includes those working in Singapore as well as the impact on investments made in Johor," he added. Hasni said this after the closing ceremony of the Asia International Innovation and Exhibition held at Pulai Spring Resort here on Sunday (Oct 11). He added that Johor must explain to the Federal Government the economic impact the border closure has caused to the state. "The government must not only consider our request but must make a decision immediately as we cannot in this position for much longer," he said, adding that many people and businesses had been affected since the border closed on March 18. https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2020/10/11/johor-to-present-case-on-reopening-border-with-singapore-to-eac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbird Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Malaysia Just want to offload their jobless kias into SG! The more Malaysia kias go earn SG money and send back to spend, helps their economy right? Also lesser unemployment issue for them = lesser social issues! Got Convid19, also SG can help settle! Unburden their healthcare system! I always hear foreigners says "SG is a land of GOLD"!!! Song Bo!!!

Song Bo!!! the sgp economy relies on cheap labor to build the condos and clean shopping malls. so no matter how bad the economy is, sgp still needs to import workers becos sgp never automate in the past 15 yrs of loong loong's rule. now zheng hu wants to automate is late liao since the profitability case for automation is gone liao. this is a vicious economic cycle. wahahahhahahhahaha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought while cost of labour will creep up, cost of current technology will likely trend downwards. maybe in 2019 cost of the same brick laying machine is less than it was in 2014 Edited October 12, 2020 by aaur4man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKS was the first to worry abt this issue back in the early 1970s. https://investmentmoats.com/stock-market-commentary/mr-goh-keng-swee-warned-us-about-it-yet-we-are-still-trying-to-figure-out-this-entrepreneurial-model/ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
