Living in JB 2 (Johore)

[summervale]

Hi Lonelysim,

Initially based on your earlier post, I assume you are a young lad in your late twenties or early thirties. When you posted those pictures, I even PM you to check if you are alright, even though I knew you are Malaysians because it doesn't matter to me that you are not from Sin.

Then, out of sudden you claimed you have a Sutera house ten years ago, RM 300 to 400K is alot of money at that time unless you come from rich family. Also, I am not sure if Sutera estate exists ten year ago? Can any bro/sis help on this?

If that is true too, then you must be in the forties?

BTW, if you notice the current state of the influx of FTs in Sin. Do we need to blame the govt or the FTs?

Referring to your case, do you want to blame those Malaysian working in Sin and Sin for causing the properties there to be sky high, or you should consider the fact that it is your Malaysian Govt and those scum developers that have caused all these problems. If you are not aware, they are also sucking the China dick now with the buy one get one free scheme.

In fact, there are also other big investors from Sri Lanka, Japan, Korea as well.

I will stop here before it get too long.

Don't you know bkt indah if you have vested so many properties in this area? When you complained Sinkie drive up the price in Malaysia, if seemed that you are also one of the culprit... (where you make your fortune? In Singapore? just like most of us here?)

I am glad malaysia govt set min sum for foreign purchase to protect the locals. We will never want to affect the locals livelihood. There are so many properties below 500K that foreigners are not qualified to buy.. Some are at very good locations with access to most amenities.. You seemed contradicting yourself here and there.. When you complain Singkie drive up the price of those more expensive development, in fact you are happy because you benefited from it.. Last but not least, you have much more properties than most of the people here... if you make your wealth from Singapore too.. don't complain. You gain more than us... at least you still have a malaysia passport.. whereas we have no where to retire with peace of mind in our own country.

Isn't this a feature here to deduct points to allow forummers to regulate dishonest and errant forummers like you? If you think this feature is childish, highlight it to the forum owner

 

[ginfreely]

I am not irritated, I am just trying to educate you in the hope that you will correct your silly errant behavior, but looks like you are incorrigible.

 

[ginfreely]

Cant blame me for doubting you on this becos you have been proven a liar as uncovered by DoA. You misled others to believe you are an innocent buyer and take minor defect photos and talk it up with unexistent photos of structural defects, blocked pipes etc. Quickly go and doctor some photos and pass it off as your proof to try to redeem yourself.

Hi all,
I am a newbie and have been following this forum and appreciated the info and advice provided by some. Just like to pen some thoughts on it.
Recently, this has turned into a complaints session instead of info sharing on living in jb and the latest happenings for all. Blaming one another is not a solution. I invest in jb at a calculated risks. To ensure no defects is a dream and we need to accept the fact that price is the main consideration in our purchase as compared with Sg. For such lower price, do not expect a no -flaw in the house. I have bought a serviced apartment years ago, and the developer has ratified it 3 times and yet todate, after the expiry, it is still leaking. The upper floor owner refused to allow me do the 4th time. Have asked the local contractor,and he says this is a common problem and you have to live with it. So the contractor made alternative solution by allowing the leakage to flow though another path into the toilet without staining the wall. Luckily, the leakage is minor and i have learned to accept it. That is life. Life must go on and be happy. Cheers!

Dear all, life is too short, let us just ignore and all enjoy our weekend.

I have passed some tanks to my good friends as well as introduced some to new sports.
Wishing all a great weekend.

Well said Sanur, lets just ignore.

If one cannot argue ones case based on its own merit and need to create multiple clones to twist and turn their
case, then probably the case did not have much of a ground to stand on in the first place.

We will never be rid of the crab bucket mentality and unfortunately some are still stuck back there, pretending to be here.

I have not bought the annual pass :((

I have not bought the annual pass :((

Still not too late, I guess.

I was initially concerned about whether the opening on 15 Sept 2012 would be too optimistic. But from the looks of the construction in progress, there will be a few rides that will be available.

At last, I cannot tahan but have to speak up and rise both hands to agree with bro arsenal !!! Wise man!

Malaysian on the other hand benefited from our homeland , they earn sing dollars and can even apply PR in sing, they come back MY and buy many houses in the end blame sinkis for driving up the prices.. The dun need to stop and scan their passport in the MY immigration especially all those motorbikes lanes, whereas we sinkis have to stop both sides for immigration clearance. They have all the freedom and earning plenty coming back to change RM , just pity those who only work in MY and only get paid RM..
We can't even apply a maid in MY which is damn unfortunate, we can't apply PR here, even those sinkis with MY wife's can only hold long term pass! There is just an unfair world out there! Life is like that! Unfair!
Just be happy and content with what you have, you can't bring along with you even when the end of world comes!

I need to be working full time in MY for a period of more than 1 year?
