Leong Mun Wai did a good video about what is happening in Singapore.
I suggest we keep an open mind for what he has to say and hopefully it will resonate with you.

Why would people like him as both a CFA charterholder & LSE Masters in Management holder would speak up on an issue without basis?
Either he is lying in parliament or speaking the truth.

Right now the only difference between SG and Johor is merely safety and physical infrastructure development
If they can raise salaries to match the cost of living, crimes will go down as a result
Trust me, its only matter within 10 years before they catch up with SG in this aspect.
In terms of indirect taxes, Singapore is still the highest and that makes SG unfavourable.
Thus there is higher risk of spending shift to Malaysia and tax revenue loss
It is probable that Johor will be the main focal point of development rather than SG, Johor will benefit more.
IMO the SG Johor SEZ should not proceed

Accountancy wages in next 5 years will be probably be stagnant
I really cant see how MNC will setup business in Johor and want to hire Singaporeans based on SG standard of living
We are neither familiar with local work customs, local tax laws and local company law besides unfamiliarity with their language (Cantonese/Melayu)
Either way its a good time to upskill now to utilise differentiation strategy from the Malaysian accountants

Im talking from accounting/audit employees point of view as to whether the SG Johor SEZ deal should proceed or not
Not from business owners or government point of view.
Government knows there is a secondary effect in SG when MNCs invest in Johor

This guy is bound by CFA members code of conduct
He must act professionally at all times.
Also, we are allowed to rely on CFA charterholders as they can be considered as Auditors’ Expert in SSA620. This means that even Public Accountants consider that his credentials can be relied on
Why would he smear his personal reputation by joining the opposition? Given his credentials as a PSC Overseas Merit Scholar, he could have became a PAP MP.
My opinion is that Leong Mun Wai has certain credibility especially on jobs relating to accountancy sector
