Peace to all, i am sure no one intentionally meant any offence be it on pricing or infestation. There are always good and bad about any place. If you just depend 100% on what people say, you will never get anywhere. When i went to US for training, everyone was telling me go there sure die, etc. There was even a Singaporean who went there around the same time who got injured or killed. Straight away people dissuaded me, etc saying its a land of death, etc.
Make your own informed decision after sifting through what you see here after coming out to see for yourself. People can tell you anything including werewolves, zombies and vampires but its up to you to believe them and if you like being controlled by blind fear. Not joking, up until recently, i still get asked by people regularly, does the houses here have ghosts? Will it flood, will there be a tsunami in Bukit Indah area. Can't help but feel a bit depressed whenever i hear of such comments like that when you meant well for people.
My main skillsets are in IT, yes i have some other skills but definitely not a ghost buster or psychic.
Again, come out here, see for yourself, do what i and some formmers here did. Take a few days leave, get a hotel and stay over on the weekdays and weekends. See if its something you can get used to. Try to find favourite food, etc and see if there are any real difficulty. Before househunting, look at the areas and see if its something you will be happy with, not just over weekends but over the years. Ask yourself these and if you still have the inclination to, then i am happy for you.
There is no shame in doing a u turn on the causeway, some have done that here and no one is looking down on them. Different people have different perspective, needs and wants. There are those who will not live in anything other than G&G, yet some others prefer non G&G and yet others prefer a very local setting with little or no security at all. Nothing wrong with preference.
As for pricing, some of the bros may only have been able to do it after work or on weekends, their time here may be short and people may make mistakes. That said, i am well aware of agents here especially those who post fake links or blatantly advertise, its their job to drum up interest but there are many folks here who are the safeguard here for the reality check.
