Thank you Frestoinc for your reply, looks like it's a no-no to revisit Malaysia until a few more months.

Hi Bro wuqi256, good day to you. Unlike others, I believe in staying in Singapore during this period and stuck here since. Wondering when the Johor CIQ will allow the regular movements of people to and from JB. There appears to be no information on this. Any updates on this?

I tend to think that property business will always remain healthy. When times are bad, there will be more sellers, less buyers...good times means more people selling and buying. Whenever and wherever in Malaysia or Singapore there will be transactions and property agents will get their due...

I am inclined to agree on this point. In reality the super-duper earners comprise most possibly one percent, many just get by and yet many are spending money to find customers. In this dull market, there will still be people buying and if any agent gets lucky, he could get a lot of income, but...

The effect of higher toll charges, the impending VEP fees and 6% GST will add to the woes of retail outlets and even big departmental stores. Over the week, we visited Danga Mall and more see-through shops and "stores" were seen than shops in operation. Similarly at Aeon Big, the staff appears...

I fully agree with Dare2. Most visiting JB or going to stay there are looking for cheaper standard of living - cheaper food, clothings and whatnot. And they are happy with the current situation I suppose except going through the traffic jams at both links. Each time caught in the jam, I...

Ya, yesterday morning, whilst passing EDL towards CIQ 1st link, there was a major roadblock of a similar kind targeting Singaporean cars for unpaid summons. All Singapore cars were directed into the newly rest area on the left side of EDL, but it took only a few minutes if there is no unpaid...

Certainly, but some people may think that those driving cars are rich enough to pay for the new units and good living in JB. The horizon however should be at least a decade away....Some developments elsewhere are still 'developing' after more than seven years!

Re: Not bad being a Malaysian (at least in JB) Ya but if the jam still persist after the VEP, we have to time our trip during less congested period. Yesterday at around 5.30 pm, the Malaysian Checkpoint was very congested - I guess with less counters opened - and we were stuck for around 45...

I certainly hope so otherwise MY land will get a lot of money from the two links while losing a lot more from their businesses and investment! For ease of reading the news, here is the link: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/johor-vep-roll-mid-2015-000916866.html...

Whatever the VEP amount, it is no good for business, investors and Singaporean travellers to Malaysia. I don't think the easing of traffic at the Causeway will result, because those who work in Singapore and live in JB will still have to drive and those who have houses may need to drive and...

I would agree if you're buying it to stay. Just happened to read an article and thought it's good to share it here, in particular: "According to Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance, in the first half of 2013, only 1.5 percent of property transactions was above RM1 million in the Johor state...

Both Nijyumaru and Ah Sheng looks good, will try them one day.... But asked, I would prefer Malaysian food. So if we were to go to Mori again, hehehe, I would stagger into Soon Cafe, just a few steps away. Soon Cafe sells all kinds of Malaysian food and its chicken is marvellous. Called...

Thanks RedsYNWA...my own taste of Japanese food is sushi, but recently we visited Mori in Permas Jaya. Supposedly good, the bill for five of us came to around RM360. I know for sure that here they serve the genuine wasabi - hot and explodes at the nose!

Ah! Food tastes better with your family....but so true for one man's meat is another man's poison. My own haunt for reasonably good food - so-called fine dining is Pekin Restaurant. There are three outlets in the vicinity of Johor Jaya Area. But I like the one at Sutera Mall the most, although...
