my guess is that, as bro Funniman pointed out, state valuation will hinge on past transactions. so, the properties around the 600k RM ++ house should be "churned" around a few round by locals (since no foreigner can buy.), slowly up to pass 1M.. before the valuation > 1M. may take loooong time neh.

Then confirm must pray even harder than harder.
Hopefully won't take too long for your case.
U r right. Reason for foreigners to buy new stock is to protect locals, so that foreigners will not compete with locals for existing stock and foreigners to boost economy and jobs as new unit require construction.
Mine is a cluster but when I see so many windows, big floor area and spider webs and lizard shits to clean, I faint. I'm getting a part time cleaner to help out once a month soon.

hopefully too, although my intention is to keep the house.
I should be getting my share of the same too, hopefully lesser!
Actually I have the opposite experience. Staying in huge double-storey terrace is superb compared to HDB. But I have also learnt to appreciate the little things in Singapore that I didn't notice before hand, such as more efficient transport system (from roads maintenance, traffic lights control, the many expressways, MRTs), safety, better amenities & shopping etc.
Eg in JB, you are hard pressed to find a gd Chinese restaurant beyond Pekin restaurant, Grand Straits Garden, Shi Li Fang. Or a gd fine-dining french restaurant. Or Prada/Gucci etc..... In Singapore, the range is huge from hawker centres to top notch dining & shopping.
Your agent is rite. Seri Alam will boom... but his is MY "near" future which in human years could very mean next life time.
Property agents (whether from SG or MY) often tell half truths. do your own homework. dun trust them.

The Aussie laws state: Foreigners can only buy new property or land to build new homes.
Actually it means foreigners cannot buy secondary market so have to sell to locals. LPPL.
You do not just buy the physical house. You buy the environment, your choice of neighbours, the infrastructure and the surroundings. Add all that up, you bought a home.

Thanks for yr effort in trying to seek clarification to our issues although nothing concrete comes out of it! They can't commit themselves if they are not sure at this stage.
Hierarchy system, top people decide new policies, so below people waiting to see everything in black and white before committing, if say wrong things, their heads will drop off.
Verbally he said ok, but if you ask him to give you black and white, I think he will tell you not ok... maybe it's foc, so he hold back. Hahaha!
I guess it will take some time for things to filter through. What to do, just have to wait for further clarifications. We must remind ourselves this is not Sg...
Anyway, we very much appreciate yr effort!

Well, yes, staying at Taman Molek is great from the house to the environment, choice of neighbour, surrounding etc. Just that JB still cant beat SG for sheer variety, amenities & convenience. You gain in other ways though. I speak with 7 years of experience in JB. I am sure forumers like Bro Malpaso feel the same as me.... haha
Oh I got it wrong! Thanks for the correction! Dun want to misled forumers with wrong info!

I think my agent still OK lah as she has been staying in Seri Alam all along. After I signed the SPA and paid up deposit, she revealed that a couple of days before I sign on SPA somebody offered her RM100K more for the unit I was buying. Thank God she did not play me out for that extra RM1000 commission.
Oh no, changes again! Macham stock market, if buy, no follow up on the news, sure fall behind...sianz...
Actually, to each his own. I know of a multi millionaire who purposely moved out of his bungalow to stay in a HDB. Of course, he is one of the strange ones. But he likes the idea that he doesn't hafta bother with leaking roofs and tending to the garden. He is in his 40s.
Then there is me who is not a fan of HDB living. its more because of the neighbours. relatively more weird/unbearable characters compared to private housing.
But to live in MY, ultimately its the mei meis who decides what I buy. Does the mei mei prefer to do it in a house? or to do it in a condo? most of the time, the gal doesn't care, as long as your wallet is fat.

Me too been staying in a landed all my life. So I do know what it is like.
If only Spore is not so expensive, I would have bought there as the infrastructure and the convenience is there. Then again I am not staying full time there, so PH or Spore does not really matter.
Big difference.
A big house to run about in the kitchen or in the living room or in the gym room or even balcony. Small condo...where else can you go?
I think there are 2 types of approvals here.
1. Leasehold need State Exco approval to transfer name and on top of this you need another State approval for the 1.0M thingy. Of course selling to Malaysian is not a problem.
2. Freehold do not need State Exco approval to transfer name but you need State Approval for the 1.0 M thingy.
International lot..really I have not seen this classification on any Land Grants or SPA before. Anyone got this "International Lot" in their paperwork? Can enlighten?

Being a multi-millionaire wouldn't it be easier to get someone to repair the roof, or to tend the garden? Or else move out to new bungalow without garden?
