Living in JB

[Aisanbo]

I am curious for your views on condo ownership. Theres lots of Terrace,semi-D and bungalow owners already but little mention of condos in the
Iskandar projects. Grateful for your views as I am looking at these since landed prices have already started to climb

Actually, prices of condos are also climbing very high. Minimum you need to pay 500k for a 1000-1300sf unit.
People say buy condo is better for investment. But for a little more, you can get an intermediate terrace of >2000sf.
I think strata landed (i.e. landed housing with shared private clubhouse) would be best.
Any body knows if Leisure Farm (strata landed) commands better rental compared to similar sizes landed in HH or EL?
For the same amount, would people rather rent a 1200sf 3bedroom condo or a 2000sf 4 bedroom terrace also with swimming pool and gym?

This was why i was sooooooo soooooo soooo upsad in fact disappoinited!!! Cos like Bro Wuqi said.... SXXX bank is TERRIBLE & HORRIBLE... they are not called STANDARD in fact they have more than DOUBLE standards... U call their contact centre who is located in KL, they advised and tell u one thing and local JB branch tell you another IN FACT even between 2 different branches also have DIFFERENT practices. My recent experience was that i called the main line to make some enquiry. The standard phone verification was made with my usual my passport no identification and it will clearly stated that i'm a FOREIGNER since i dun have a myKAD ID or Msian no. As discussed with the tele-officer, i heed his professional advice and follow the details he had shared thus emphaisising that i'll drop a cheque for this arrangement. He did not stop me nor resist my actions. After i made the transaction at a nearby cheque deposit, less then a week later, i received a call from courier mendtioned i've mail friom KL (i tot from my lawyers). Once i got back , i opened the letter and found A PC of A4 paper STAPLED with a cashier order of the amount which i bank in earlier. I quickly called up the main line and checked. I questioned them about compliance issues in terms of handling sums of money that they ought to inform with a proper letter head and advised what went wrong. On what account you can remove $$$$ without informing the customer. WHAT IF MAIL IS LOST? all these just made me more upsad. Not only that... many hiccups came on and that's y i was so eager to look for TT services. IT HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS TO DATE, they still charge me for the interest and i'm seeking them to do some necessary compensation since i made no blunder... ...AND knows what they promised to get back to me by yesterday 1530hrs and till now not a sound. LIP service is not what i need and looking for... I seriously would hope this would end in fact i really hope to get out from this bank who also promised that will give a credit card but in the end NOTHING.
IT'S A DARN STUBBORN Bank!!

Hi Skippy, their system is inefficient including the local bank which we engaged. I'm also trying to waive a penalty charged to us by developer for late progressive payment due to bank's delay for several reasons.

Can I know whether the amount you are depositing/transferring is the progressive interest billed by the bank?

Looks like this list has really attracted a few guests to create their account and post. We've missed a few members' post which saw them adding themselves to the list.

Hi all new members, your first few posts(should be first 10 posts) will be delayed, subsequent posts will be immediate. So for the first 10 post, do it fast by stating 'testing testing 123' or whatever you wish to say so that you can enjoy immediate postings sooner.

Yeah lor so sad, really don't know what can we do to reverse this damage?! The 60% majority don't want to vote out PAP leh.

We don't really have much of a choice, the rest of the population still thinks everything is alright, i no longer believe in people who are vocal and always appears fierce and awesome yet remains passive about their lot. We need to realise that It is no longer our land.

As a learned yet Starcraft crazed friend of mine once said (He plays Terran), do not fret if your base is lost. Uproot, fly off and look for another.

Though i am more of a Protoss guy, i was inclined to agree.

Sitting and waiting for certain demise? Not my way.

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was, is lost, for none now live who remember it.

Do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands.
