The blogger at aisehman.org feels that Malaysian citizens might find Johor's plan of setting up Free Access Zones (where the residents can seamlessly travel to and from Singapore) insulting. Johor is a Malaysian state that neighbours Singapore and it sees these Free Access Zones as a way of attracting foreigners to live there. ” Will Malaysians be able to live in the FAZs? Will it be some semi-exclusive enclave Malaysians — for all intents and purposes — can only gawk at from the relative squalour of their existence?”
