I suggest you do conventional pump feed on roof top tank. Direct feed is good but Malaysia water supply breakdown is a norm. Also, when you are doing direct feed, your tank should be disposed or bacteria growth or mosquito is a problem. Cheers

I wonder if devices like these might help, low flow high pressure shower heads. Not sure if there are similar things for taps in bathrooms. If there are it may save you money and still get the pressure you want.

Honestly I don't know, because I was at the market I saw this person selling this type of shower head. And I also got a similar showerhead from Cosway. The water does feel stronger. I suspect they might have for taps too. Maybe can check with Balestier shops?

The developer is giving a gas stove but I am contemplating buying an electric stove instead. Is it better to use gas or electric in JB? If electric, which brand or model is good? Cost of usage advice?

If you know the theory of cooking , buy electric induction stove. If you dont know much about cooking buy gas stove, anyway gas is cheaper.

Another thing to consider is there are occasional blackouts resulting in no electricity. But if u run out of gas, just call the same grocery store and they will send another gas tank to you. Or if u cool often, buy a backup gas tank.
