Permas Jaya (official name is Bandar Baru Permas Jaya) is an area in Johor Bahru bustling with new housing development projects. One thing you will realise as you drive through this precinct is the newly formed condominiums and bungalows that will greet you, as well as the numerous signboards touting sales agent numbers.

The Permas Jaya Bridge that connects Permas Jaya to Johor Bahru city center is notorious for traffic jams. With only 2 lanes (one lane in each direction), you can only travel as fast as the car in front of you. Once in a while when a bus or lorry breaks down on the bridge, massive traffic jams form up and threatens to give you more time admiring the Pelentong River below.
Once you manage to clear the bridge, Jusco Permas Jaya is just a 3 minutes drive from the bridge. Not a very big mall (it is only ONE storey high) but it packs enough inside that can occupy your time for a few hours.

If you are a young parent in Singapore, you might be buying your baby products at Cold Storage. The items you may want to buy includes baby diapers, formula milk powder, baby wipes and baby skin care products. If you want to save some money, you would perhaps try NTUC/ Giant/ Carrefour. For even lower prices, your parents will advice you to go to Sheng Siong or the traditional Chinese medical hall (yes, they sell some baby products too).
Even lower prices? Johor Bahru.
Now, we all know that things are relatively cheap in Johor Bahru (compared to Singapore). But just how cheap is cheap?
