Another example is why Singaporeans like to go Malaysia JB. Exchange rate almost SGD 1 - RM 3. To Singaporeans, going there to eat, massage and shop is cheap but to locals earning local currency there, it is very expensive. 1 cup of kopi with milk about RM 1.50. Try paying SGD 1.50 for a cup of kopi in a neighbourhood coffeeshop with no-aircon.
