The Clusters on sale and semi-d will also be on sale soon.

Thanks for the update. Are they selling well? Seems like a tad too expensive?

I don't know about New Zealand or Australia, but Brazil and Africa are pretty strong. Indonesia is pretty strong.. I met some Africans on the planes last year.. they are working hard reading on chinese and english documents to improve their languages... They seemed very hungry for success..

Agree with you on Indonesia too.

The property market there should be getting interesting too.

There is tremendous pent-up housing demand. Indonesia has the world’s fourth largest population of 245 million people.

Presently, foreigners may purchase a house on freehold land by written consent from the landowner, for 25 years and extendable to a further 25 years. There has been plenty of debate in parliament but nothing has been passed. They are pushing for a change in the law on foreign property ownership which would extend the leasehold period to a full 70 years or more as opposed to 25 years followed by subsequent renewals.

Hi welcome. Hope this helps

Yes, thanks. This is very useful. Okay, mine is about 2 weeks+ of wait. Maybe I will wait a bit longer.

Always good points from good bros like you. Been really busy and finally can take leave so have been doing the necessary stuff for daughter and family.


Dear all, If I am brief or curt in my replies, please excuse me as these two weeks have seen much more questions and requests than usual. There are also good bros here who can help.

Thanks bro whoami, don't have all the answers.
Did help out a tenant and spent about 1k fixing stuff for him
though he is finishing tenancy soon.

His dad had a motor disease so fixed water heater, electrical points, etc.
My contractor even asked me, how come my own home has no pump as
well as the better automate with backup batt. My wife always shakes her head.

Sometimes though, you can do all you can but it will never be enough. You
Install pump, people complain about noise, you install better gates, people
Say too much privacy. You install auto gate mechanism, people say its a lousy
one when their wheels crush the automate arm when they were reversing.

You charge all others above 3k yet one tenant you charge the lowest is the only
one picking through all the T&Cs. You install solar film but they claim it's not good
enough. The more you give them, the wife keeps thinking you are overcharging
Them.

Is MY more responsive to oil price movements or SG is just silent on changing pump prices. I wonder?

Hi,

I 've visited Nusa duta with my brother. Basically there are two types of clusters and semi-Ds. The smaller 35 X70 cluster starts from 875k and smaller 40 X 80 semi-d starts from 1.2m.

Quite exp., my brother still considering, I know he is looking somewhere 700k.

i went to see Nusa Duta cluster 2 weeks ago, somehow i find their design a bit weird.. the car porch is so short that part of the car is not covered.
So is the drainage from roof, is not totally concealled. So the rain water will fall like a waterfall at one corner of the roof...

Jus my observations.

Hi! I'm a new member. I recently booked a cluster semi-D in Iskandar. I appreciate answers to my questions below:

1. I would like to know roughly how long a bank normally takes to approve the loan. I have applied to HSBC (Malaysia) but no news yet for 2 weeks+.

2. Upon full payment in 10 years, how do I receive the title deeds?

Thanks.

Usually bank take 5-7 working days, you shd call the sale person. At the same time submit application to other banks, no obligation.. see who come back first and with best offer

Once full payment, Bank will release the title deed to you lawyer, lawyer will then discharge the title to you (need pay several hundred RM for discharging)

Looks like IJM may have priced itself out of the market this time?
Have you tried looking at sub sales or buying from owners of the earlier launches?

Well , they have excellent location and this is their last phase of less than a 100 units or so . Moreover some people have bite the bullets during their soft launch few months back . Now seem like this is more or less their official pricing already , if they lower it , those earlier buyers sure kpkb lor !

BTW , was at setia sales ofice few days back . Their very basic 20x70 selling 540K also sold out . Now only got Sky loft , starting 500 plus for 1 bed room ( 800 sq only leh ) . Also got Villa ( same like Semi D ) , sell 1.4m , hence about same like Nusa Duta pricing also . Setia quality is you know , I know lah !

The garment would always give the same excuses i.e. tiny red dot have no natural resource$. Which is quite true...but....

If the country is poor then nothing to say, but for affluent country not to take care of its elderly, sick etc is no excuse. Especially when they have been so generous to themselves and foreigners. Latest example is the $2.2k bike for Npark staff, so luxurious indeed.

I am glad that you mentioned about Taiwan because their universal healthcare system is reowned. And if you read the link to the blog that I am attaching below, you will find that more than 1/5 of the people who seek help from Credit Counselling Singapore did so because of medical costs.

http://singaporemind.blogspot.sg/201...-proposal.html

Oh so Taiwan system is renowned, was watching a program that they were talking about their healthcare system, problems and all. I think every system sure have problem but was very impressed with how they seem to cover all illnesses and even kidney dialysis.

Back to Sg system, never know that 25% of govt spending is on defence. Hmm so many foreigners in Singapore who took away jobs, house, school place, public transport etc..basically no space and resource left for native citizens to enjoy..isn't that an invasion?

For the money, if its an electric motorbike, electric bicycle or ATV which can be used for off road maintenance, carry load or debri etc then fully understand but foldable bike for 2.2k? Many don't even earn close to half of 2.2k and yet these guys are now defending their decision.

Sometimes, i look at them , i have to start singing my fathers favourite song (Song title translated is literally "I ask heaven")

That is what the MIW always lament and put Singapore's achievements as their own doing.

But having a wonderful and strategic location in the middle of a shipping junction and coupled with natural deep sea habours, I would say that they are god-send and equivalent to having a gold mine, copper deposits or oil field.

And given a bunch of conscientious and diligent Singaporeans who have toiled over the years, if that is not a country blessed with resources, I do not know what is then.

Hear hear, the best resources the country has are its human resource but it doubts its own people and doesn't think they are talented DESPITE being the one who sets all the rules, dos and don'ts with regards to education. If you can't entrust your own people whom you educated yourself, then who can you trust? Whats the point of constantly boasting its U ranking in the world when you don't value your grads? When any other degree, whether accredited or not is recognised?
