For those who want to stay in Johor Bahru and commute to Singapore for work on a daily basis, you will need to apply for long term visa (MM2H) or spouse visa. Otherwise, you will be questioned by their nasty immigration officers as many of them are very against Singaporeans living in Johor Bahru. If you will get caught, they will put a remark on your passport to indicate that "there must be a lapse of 72 hours before you can return to Malaysia again". Their property agents will always boast to Singaporeans about the cheap houses in Johor Bahru, but what's the use when you cannot stay in them on a daily basis? Think carefully again before your commitment to a property in Johor Bahru.

like in all countries where one is not resident - no resident status, buying a house don't grant you that status, buying a car also don't - so as a foreigner you are governed differently. You need an IDP for driving in a foreign land - all is good when you can buy car and drive until you get into an accident, then you can be charge with no proper driving permit, illegally "over staying" your social visit visa, stay more than so many days in a year, and God knows what the Polis and Mahkamah can throw at you.
