The Singapore dollar just crashed to RM3.17, and for the first time in years, Singaporeans are actively avoiding Johor Bahru during the festive season. What used to be the busiest period for JB businesses is now unusually quiet – with The Star confirming a sharp 30 to 40% decline in Singaporean visitors. In this video, I explain why the strong Ringgit is reshaping cross-border tourism, how Singaporeans are shifting their holiday spending to Japan, Korea and China, and what this currency shock means for Johor’s retail and F&B sectors. We also explore the strategic implications for Malaysia: cheaper imports, but weaker exports and an immediate blow to tourism-dependent SMEs. With the MYR expected to strengthen further as US rate cuts kick in, this trend could continue well into 2026. If you want a clear, data-driven explanation of: * Why JB malls and cafes are suddenly empty * How Singaporean consumer behavior responds to currency shifts * What Malaysian businesses need to do to prepare for impact – this video gives you the full picture. Stay informed. Stay strategic.
