Nobody knows a crash for sure until the shit hits the fence. All crashes historically have taken everyone by surprise. '87 Hongkong; '97 Asian and 07/08 Lehman. The prudent ones should take in such developments and re-position themselves appropriately. Keyword is do not over-leverage. SG...

I am looking for a rental house at Taman Perling. Prefers the Sutera/Perling side or D'Serambi with G&G. 1-2 year lease is good. Part or totally unfurnished is fine also. If you or your neighbor is looking to rent out their house please PM me.

A little thing that many may not know. I remembered reading something about solar panels which stopped me dead in the tracks installing them. Can't justify it. Those photovoltaic cells in the solar panel do de-generate and lose their solar abilities. They need to be replaced every 10 years...

Re: Living in JB 3 (Johore) Ok that is a bit of an exaggeration. However I can fully empathise with her feelings. And I certainly hope no such thing will befall on any woman here or anywhere in the world. She summed it up succinctly what we already know. Despite all the grandeur and...

Re: Living in JB 3 (Johore) I don't think there is any public statistics about the crime situation in SG. Even if there is, depends on who publishes it, you might need to discount those numbes. Statistics do lie, we all know that. I think the key difference in crime between the 2 cities...

Re: Living in JB 3 (Johore) It is called news blackout. When you don't read about them it does not mean it is not happening.

Re: Dog Friendly Condo Thank you all for your inputs. I will feedback to my SG friend. I totally agree no point taking a chance on that with a possiblity to get into trouble with other residents over the dog issue and then have to move again.

Re: Dog Friendly Condo Yes, that BWV project is a weird one. I can't make sense of "why" when I looked at the project years ago. Lucky it is the one strata titled development that has this by-rule.

Re: Dog Friendly Condo Agreed. However, different people different requirements. I am asking more out of curiosity. I got a SG friend who woke up not long ago that they cannot afford to retire in SG. So illusion shattered and was asking about moving to JB. Problem for him is he works full...

Re: Dog Friendly Condo In MY, you are not allowed to have dogs in any condo projects, much less to walk them inside the compound. That was why I asked about "dog friendly". So by right no, what about by left? In Penang, when we were living in a condo it was dog friendly. By right cannot...

Dog Friendly Condo Anyone forummers here aware of any condo exisiting developments - old or new build - that is dog "friendly"? I am whereby the RC is ok with it? Here is what I am thinking: I do respect local culture and will not bring the dog to walk witihin the condo compound. I can...

43 MYR + 12 MYR departure tax one way? That is seriously expensive. Am sure SIN-Puteri departure will also have a tax in SGD. I wonder if they have some kind of season pass for frequent travellers?

It is called political rhetorics. The man on the street calls them election promises. I won't read too much into it. If indeed the opposition wins Johor, it remains to be seen how much of these promises will be implemented, and if implemented how watered down are they. I see the world in...

I am almost certain as long as there is a foreigner's name in there, you will need State Consent and also the 500k floor kicks in. If you can, just use the Malaysian spouse name as a single applicant - no state consent, no 500k limit plus you get a much wider range of inventory to choose from...

Yes I do think the next wave of BBB (buy buy buy) might come from that part of the world. The Kuok deal last week or so is a sign of things to come. They have extremely strong connections in China and already we are seeing Chinese business interests in Malaysia - some bridge building, tunnel...
