VERY HIGH I believe.

Just like what many of our Malaysian neighbors did. Most of them are traveling to & fro Singapore every day to work and return at the end of the day back to Johor Bahru. Such arrangement is a daily affair for them and for the sake of livelihood, they have accepted this as their way of life.
.
What about Singaporeans? Are we as adaptable as our Malaysian neighbors? Will we be able to survive when we have to move out of our comfort zone to work in an all foreign land?
.
I've given this topic enough thoughts whenever I commute to and fro work everyday and am convinced that "THE DAY" will come eventually, as Singapore loses her growth within her island and we needed growth to keep us in a job. I'm certain if not me and hubby, our offspring will hop on to work overseas eventually.

The opening of ASEAN via a common rail link and especially linking to China (the next BIG BROTHER) through the Singapore-Kunming Rail Link (SKRL) 泛亚铁路 which was first proposed by Asean in 1995 is firm affirmation of ease of transfer.
.
Reports on the rail link project have quoted:
"
The SKRL is a flagship project of the ASEAN-Mekong Basin Development Cooperation (AMBDC). This regional railway line, spanning some 5,000 kilometers (3,000 miles) from Singapore to the Chinese city of Kunming, would be a very efficient and most economical mode of cross-border cargo transportation. However, the project has been hindered by a lack of funds and other technical issues in connecting the rail to major towns across the region. The project also includes constructing railway stations and related infrastructure, and has been estimated to cost US$15 billion (€12.5 billion). ASEAN hopes the link will be ready by 2015.
"
.
With such a scale of work being done on a national level to join up via the rail link, the railway project is expected to better bind the economies of the region and provide southern China with easier access to ASEAN markets. It is evident for the folks like us too; to provide easier access for us living in the south to go into China.
