I support that view fully. Would like to see Nusajaya an outlets for those who find sg too stressful and expensive. However, I hope to see a thriving mix of citizens and not just singaporean, I believe a balance is good on a long term.

In Malaysia, most people don't service their aircond regularly. My house in Ipoh and my wife's place in Subang Jaya; we only called the AC contractor when the aircond was no longer cold after 3 years. These ACs dont require regular 3 mths servicing... if you want, once a year should be fine... unless you're a heavy user; like switch on every single day for 8 hours plus
Bro wuqi, when you say manhole, are you refering to the one outside typically found at the yard area? What protective tapes are not removed? Any reason for not installing the roof antenna other than the roof tiles being broken accidentally by the contractor? Because in Malaysia, there isn't any cable into the house, which is why everyone uses a roof antenna for landed houses. Thanks.
RM270k is very expensive for a house 10 yrs ago; she might have bought it during a economic boom. Could be she lost money on it because of newer, more secure developments nearby like HH & NI. and she should have held on to the house; maybe can rent out. If she holds for another 5-10 years, there's a chance she could have sold it for more than RM300k... of course all this will depend on her house location. Maybe the location is bad!
I seriously doubt it because HH location is better than Bkt Indah. Also, because of the gated & guarded concept; it will definitely attract a lot of SGeans over in the near future and beyond, more so when property prices shoots up higher in SG.
It's high, but not too high to prevent Singaporeans from buying. Drive over to have a look at HH and you'll fall in love with the developments there. A double-storey intermediate freehold house cost upwards of RM650k only
Thanks Cathy. There is also another author by the name of Milan Doshi; a Singaporean staying in KL who made his money investing in properties and the stock market in Malaysia. He runs a few seminars in a year and has written a few books on property investment in Malaysia. Another Msian guy, Azizi Ali who is a pilot is also a property investor doing the same thing... made his money in properties and publishing. There's a wealth of local info available for the property market in MY, where investors typically expect a ROI of more than 6% for rental income.
Hi Cathy with regards to Setia .... where are you buying your second unit? At Setia Tropika also? or elsewhere?
Sorry to kaypoh. If its ok with you let me know... else i am fine by it.
Another question.... "how did they accomodate and tailor your earnings to qualify for the home loan?"
Sorry being kaypoh again.
Please advise

My wife and I thought exactly like you on this issue. We were very keen to buy into a development which had a very good mix of locals and foreigners apart from other reasons.
Thanks Cathylmg, it will depend, if the other (which is approved) is slightly bigger, i will go for it. Another way is to find another bank for the house which you really want, it has to be what you really want.
Bros(especially those who did NS),
I still remembered one of my profs actually told me this, never analyse too much.
If you find it worth your while and did your math, go in with your eyes open and don't look back, aangsc, prof, cathylmg and lots more including RafflesTiger all went in.
All survived.
My professor on law taught this:
Do consider and analyze but not too much, so much so you become paralyzed.
My lecturer on marketing taught this:
Never give too many choices to your customers lest they get confused and go elsewhere where choices are easier to make
My strategic management guru:
When you keep looking down for too long, you are likely to hit a lamp post.
In the same vein though, don't go extinct by instinct, check especially before signing the dotted line.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis
The term "analysis paralysis" or "paralysis of analysis" refers to over-analyzing (or over-thinking) a situation, so that a decision or action is never taken, in effect paralyzing the outcome. A decision can be treated as over-complicated, with too many detailed options, so that a choice is never made, rather than try something and change if a major problem arises. A person might be seeking the optimal or "perfect" solution upfront, and fear making any decision which could lead to erroneous results, when on the way to a better solution.
The phrase describes a situation where the opportunity cost of decision analysis exceeds the benefits that could be gained by enacting some decision, or an informal or non-deterministic situation where the sheer quantity of analysis overwhelms the decision-making process itself, thus preventing a decision. The phrase applies to any situation where analysis may be applied to help make a decision and may be a dysfunctional element of organizational behavior. This is often phrased as paralysis by analysis, in contrast to extinct by instinct (making a fatal decision based on hasty judgment or a gut-reaction).

Btw, for guys who are stuck with bank loans that you may not want to continue on, do look at the date when you can refinance,most banks do but some financing plans from certain banks don't have a fixed lock in period. Do check with more banks as i heard recently they are easing up on their stringent rules.
Remembered one time, a public bank teller actually pushed my deposit and passport over the counter onto the floor(trust me, i get that a lot) as soon as she saw my passport.
Now, things are so different.

Thanks Wuqi. I seriously need to find a place that sells nice fresh and cheap local pork.
Salivating already

Sure, Perling sells pork and sometimes............
Just sometimes.......
You get "wild pork", it gets sold out fast, watch out for a blue pickup.
You know it when you see people crowding around and then shortly
later, its gone.
Bro Wuqi, you are a walking encyclopedia...... When does the Blue pickup appear.......
I try to share what i see but compared to some of the bros here, its still very little.
It comes on the special day of the week when man should rest. Also, it comes either
very early (9am) or before noon.
It doesn't come so often these days likely to due to poorer aim, ahem sorry for using
the wrong choice of words, its definitely due to poorer catch.
There are lots of places that sell them but those who like it (wild boar curry rice) can go here:
http://sg.openrice.com/johorbahru/restaurant/sr2.htm?shopid=18788
Speaking of which, went "accidentally" through the new highway just now, this is steady
man, drove for 7 minutes as the highway is really almost done.

By the way, bros who need to "chiong" will be pleased to know that there are many aplenty along Nusa Bestari side.
Just need to be more observant as my learned friends here found out recently.
By the way, there is an office furniture shop near the Ali cafe, sells nice chairs, especially there is one type that is quite good, only at 99 RM. Used more than 1.5 years, still going strong.
Also, for pets, you can get pet dogs, etc at Nusa Bestari, near Ah Khoon, the place to go to for fishball and noodles, etc.
Their pet dogs are cheaper than in SG, you can get goldies cheaper too but you need to apply to bring in to SG.

Hi gregorian, you can also check out Nusa Idaman's semi-d with a built-up from 3100sqft and bigger and the price of RM688k and above. It's a 2.5 storey concept and is well above the RM500k minimum limit for foreigners to buy. The project is also in a G&G area and these are new units that you buy direct from the developer. So far, it seems that Standard Chartered's packages are good; I got mine from them at BLR-2.3% for the first 3 years and BLR-2.35% for the subsequent years. If you buy from the developer, they MIGHT have deals where they will pay for all legal fees, etc. As the buyer, you only need to pay the downpayment. Have a look at Nusa Idaman's sales office; the project is under UEM Land, a big property player in Malaysia and owner of most of the land in Nusajaya.

That is exactly the issue i am facing. I have only one 2.5hp aircon and it is turned on 20 hours a day. In less than 2 years the starter kaput had to replace. Now my aircon cannot reach the desired temp although it is still cold. Will try this BH Aircon recommended by bros.
Is it the Flexi-loan type whereby you can do pre-payment of any amount even during the lock-in period of 3 years and thus not having to pay interest for the extra amount which you've pre-paid? If yes, you should accept whatever loan you can get in Sg which charge lower interest than BLR-2.3%. Use the money to pre-pay your housing loan in Malaysia and pay the lower interest rate you get from Singapore.
