I am an owner occupier and has no interest to rent out my unit. Regards, Ricky

To the owners of Medini Signature Condominium According to the developer WCT, Medini Signature Condominium @ Iskandar Puteri will handover VP early March 2017. That is, next week. Since I am retired and owned a unit here, I am thinking of starting a Facebook group and/or a WhatsApp chat...

Not a problem. I done mine with all passive income since I am already retired.

Driving a Jag or BMW in Malaysia will be a target is a misnomer. I drive a new (MM2H duty free) BMW for more than a year all over Malaysia and don’t feel targeted. Nobody gives a darn. Just don’t park in unlighted back lane, leaving bags, expensive items expose on seats etc.

The 10K RM monthly income can be a combination of passive and active income.

I am a citizen of Australia and got my MM2H in 2013 by direct application. Malaysian driver who is not SPR can drive a Malaysian car in Singapore with no problem. You need to apply for “AutoPass” card at the CIQ where the owner particulars are registered (presume, they need to send summons to you).

Applying for MM2H is a simple process and you can apply for it directly. Why pay someone thousands of RM to do it for you? PM me if you need any assistance. By the way, any foreigner whose is not a SPR can drive a Malaysian car in Singapore.

I must assume that you had not lived in Australia before to state that retiring in Australia is better than in JB. I am an Australian and choose to retire in Nusajaya, Johor for a year now and enjoy it everyday.

Marlborough College is just an example. I believe many other international schools in Johor are better than the Singapore public school system. Check out RAS, the Sunway College in Medini with a Canadian curriculum and many others. I, for one had gone through the Singapore public school system...

With the 6.9 M population coming, SG will be much more overcrowded and living will become unbearable. I had retired in Nusajaya, Johor for more than a year now and find it as good as retiring in Australia with the exception of the weather. Lots of things are cheaper, less crowds and more...

I had lived in many cities in Australia including Melbourne during my 27 years there, but choose to retire in Nusajaya, Johor. For your info, there are many Australians with MM2H visa living in Malaysia, especially in Penang. Unless you are filthy rich, Australian capital cities are way...

If your daughter is PR or citizen of Australia, she can apply PR for you under the ‘Parent’ scheme (provided you don’t have another kid or more outside of Australia). However, please note that if you do not live in Australia long enough under your PR status, the Australian immigration...

No to both. Only PR & citizens are entitled to Medicare and other benefits as well as buying (resale) property without FIRB approval..

It might be an easy method to get Oz PR with A$5M, but would you take the risk to invest in start-up, small private and emerging companies for 4 years with no guarantee on the return. After the 4 years, then you can apply for the PR visa if the state and territory government agencies still...

The Significant Investor Visa (Subclass 188) is not an instant PR program. It is a provisional visa in that you have to invest minimum A$5M for 4 years as above and then be eligible to apply for PR visa (subclass 888). So during the 4 years investment in start-up, small private companies...

If you are referring to the Investor Retirement Visa (Class 405), please note that this is not a Permanent (PR) visa and you are not entitled to Medicare and other federal or state benefits. I do not know about “min AUD 5m for instant PR” in Australia. Can you elaborate on which class of visa...

After staying in a landed house at Horizon Hills for more than a year, I still prefer condo living as follows: After the sun set, I have to close all doors and windows, turn on the fan or aircon to keep out the mosquitos. I believe if you live high enough in a condo, you don’t have this...

I am presently renting a landed property in Horizon Hills while waiting for my condo in Medini to be completed.

I will prefer to live in a ‘high end’ condo than landed in Johor for my retirement. After living in a few ‘landed bungalows’ in Australia for more than 20 years, the maintenance and up-keeping of landed property is a big hassle. Things like pest control, lawn mowing, garden/landscaping...

You have a much lower chance of the assets gone with 'a stroke of the pen' in Australia. But with a breakdown in marriage, half your matrimonial assets will be gone. This is also applicable to de-facto relationship. According to the United Nations, Australia’s divorce rate put it at 24th out...
