Question about Johor Foreign Buyers exemption zones

[Papsmearer]

I understand that the Medini Iskandar economic zone has NO minimum foreign buyer requirement. That is to say that a Singaporean can buy a condo there for whatever he/she wants to pay for it. I also understand that Forest City has a minimum threshold for RM$500K for foreign buyers.

My question is, 1) Are there any freehold properties in these 2 areas, seems like they are mostly leasehold, like Medini1. 2) What developments in these 2 areas are worth looking at? 3) What is the proximity to Tuas crossing and how long will it take to get into Singapore from one of these areas?

Thanks in advance.

I have read a NST article that FC is freehold.
