    LKY also famously used similar logic. Actually both of you are wrong. The right comparison is not renting vs buying but what you do with the capital you have, which you can always invest instead of buying residence. So you should compare: 1) Buying property: No need pay rental but got to pay...

    But for Sarawak mm2h, you need someone local to be your guarantor and this person will be interviewed as well if I not wrong.

    It's a nice neighborhood mall. There's a Cold Storage supermarket there. I dun think there's any JB mall that can be called unsafe or crime-ridden. Or maybe I'm just not the kiasi type.

    I think they are suspending Macs applications altogether, for the time being anyway. I see Tun's hands behind all this. But u may want to contact IRDA to confirm this.

    Nothing to do with patriotism. When it comes to work/responsibility, Chinese ppl are most on the ball and yet also the most kiasi. So in this case, it's better RafflesTiger si than she si. Anyway, iirc, there's only 1 chinese lady at CIQ, so she's the one to avoid. Luckily for me, I was warned...

    Most likely 3rd-link is another crony of the previous administration. Modus operandi is very similar: set up a middle-man company between the public and the govt service. And then the public has to pay the middleman company certain fees just to get public service from the govt. Something similar...

    I understand those who own JB property can do their MACS at IRDA office @Danga Bay, but the rest of us have to do in SG. You need to leave your passport with them overnight basis. They are reliable in the sense they are officially appointed to do this and they pass the passports to M'sian...

    Your form slightly different from 3rd Link office which i renewed there last week. Dun hv macs category, although i think u should tick MACS for this form. PS: the 3rd link staff ever told me that normally macs card will be approved as long as u dun hv any criminal records.

    Np, I find angmoh expats tend to help out with one another more so than overseas SGreans, which is something we can learn from. I stayed in JB while waiting for my flat to be ready. I dun hv property in JB and was renting too. Funny thing is, after coming back here, I realised that I like...
