Most Singaporeans residing in Malaysia are usually expatriates as professionals are sought out for a niche expertise in various industries within the country. They are usuallywhite collar workers with positions inupper management ormiddle management within companies, as such most Singaporean residents are usually concentrated near large urban centres such asKuala Lumpur,Selangor,Malacca andJohor Bahru.[2]
According to a 2014 estimate by the Johor-Singapore Community Care Association, there are about 5,000 Singaporean families living in Johor.[3] Under theMalaysia My Second Home programme, Singaporean retirees and some Singaporeans working or studying in Singapore have chosen to reside in Johor due to the lower cost of living and they are also allowed to import one car into Malaysia or buy a locally made car with duty and sales tax exemptions, although Singaporeans cannot drive Malaysia-registered cars in Singapore.[4]
