Nope. Don't agree. Top 10 based on what criteria? You see Country Garden and Forest City on the list you gotta laugh. :) Basically they seemed to rank the properties based on how well-known the developers are or how large scale the project is. But that doesn't mean they are good. Nothing special.

If you are not a Malaysian, I advise you to get out of the shit now. Cut your losses. You don't want to be strapped to a lousy property forever. With such poor management, and given so many other better and new condos all over Iskandar, nobody is going to buy over yours. There is nothing you...

I think CG representative did openly come out to say there was no such thing as buy one get one free. But then again, it's up to one to believe these mainland Chinese people. I think some could have bought all these Forest City and Danga Bay to wash dirty money. Not surprising. And indeed...

If you have been following the news, you can see that Singapore is not doing well indeed. - Government suddenly approves online gambling. In 2014, they made it clear it is banned. - The idiot Lee Hsien Loong has been traveling a lot to various countries to try to set up deals with SG. - They...

$100 billion Chinese-made City Near Singapore 'Scares the Hell out of Everybody' November 22, 2016 by Pooja Thakur Mahrotri and En Han Choong The landscaped lawns and flowering shrubs of Country Garden Holdings Co.’s huge property showroom in southern Malaysia end abruptly at a small wire...

Why this sudden post? Anyway... Khalil - Nice guy personally. His job depends on him marketing Iskandar so he has to say good things about it. It's the same old story repeated about Singapore eventually being too expensive to live and work so it's natural we have to move over to Iskandar to...

Yup. For retirees may be a different story, especially if they don't need to come into Singapore so often. I was previously referring more to those who are still working or go buy things over the weekend hoping to save that small amount.

You're fortunate! The not so lucky ones have to bear the jams and frustrations every day. At some point, I wonder if it is all worth it to even "save" that $50-100 buying or eating in JB. You may save that bit financially but the time gone and emotional stress are priceless and worth a lot...

Actually what is causing this almost uninhibited downward slide in RM? When S$1 = RM2.9, my friend told me he was going to change lots (>S$10k). News, or rumours rather, said RM won't stay so low forever. I told him to hold his horses first. You never know how low it could get. But he...

But where will all the Johor locals go to then to buy their stuffs? Maybe that's why some Singaporeans are saying better buy a property or two now while they are still affordable. Years later, all property prices in Johor will go up also.

A handful here talk a lot about their wealth. They will divulge how many properties they have, or how as businessmen, they rub shoulders with some CEOs blah blah blah. They will say something like "The other day I was talking to a director/CEO of this company, etc etc, etc. They are relocating...

Actually I think it's herd mentality. The jams will come again. Are people complaining cos they really feel S$6 is a lot? Or are they unhappy because previously it was $0 entry and now suddenly got to pay S$6? The restaurant food you eat in JB is likely already cheaper by more than S$6...

Makes sense. Can't believe some people are still finding fault with SG. You take one part of a negative news about SG (eg its debts) and then compare to Malaysia's lower debt then conclude Singapore is worse off. Firstly, if you are an Accounting student, you will fail badly for sure. Even a...

There are many such keyboard warriors here and other forums de..... You read enough you know. If your HDB flat is making money for you, then why complain? Someone constantly labels himself a "peasant", HDB flats are "pigeon holes" to him, yet he keeps his pink IC, makes money from his HDB flat...

You don't even have HDB flat then you speaking for HDB flat owners? If Malaysia cannot get PR, and SG is such a restricted place, so densely populated with small and expensive flats (even though you don't own one), then why not look at other countries? Many Singaporeans have worked overseas or...
