Weekend homes in Johor

Four in 10 residents in south Johor special zone are Singaporean

By Kimberly Spykerman & Teh Joo Lin

More Singaporeans are buying high-end holiday and retirement homes in southern Johor, in developments like The Bayou Water Village in Leisure Farm, which has houses with riverside balconies. --ST PHOTO: DESMOND LIM

AFTER a leisurely lunch on his patio, Mr Zulkifli Mansor can walk out to a putting green and practise a few strokes of golf - and he doesn't even have to leave his home. From his balcony, Mr Tio Hong Tjoen sometimes casts a reel into the stream winding around his home. The Singapore permanent resident has caught fish weighing up to 3kg. Mr Zulkifli, a 47-year-old civil servant, and Mr Tio, 53, who is in the furniture business, are among an increasing number of Singaporeans and permanent residents buying high-end homes across the Causeway, mainly as weekend residences.

Detention under ISA

Teresa Kok was arrested near OUG Heights at on Friday September 12 2008 under Section 73 (1) of the Internal Security Act (ISA). Under the act, the police have no obligation to disclose the alleged offense if any at all.
Teresa Kok's arrest followed the arrests of prominent blogger activist Raja Petra Kamaruddin and journalist Tan Hoon Cheng (陈云清) from the Sin Chew Daily News earlier on that day.[1][2][3]
Prior to her arrest, the Malay daily Utusan Malaysia and its columnist for an article had claimed that Teresa Kok had "advised" a mosque in Puchong not to use loudspeakers while making the azan or the Islamic calls to prayer. Teresa Kok had issued a denial against the allegation.[4] The Selangor state government was giving all parties involved in making the claim a week to issue a retraction and apology. [5]
It was found out later that a faulty loudspeaker system was the reason why the mosque did not broadcast the azan.[6] Furthermore, while there was a petition sent to the mosque, the petition requested for the mosque to lower the volume during 'ceramah' or sermons and not during azan.[7] The administrator of the mosque as well as the petitioners also confirmed that Kok was not involved in the petition.[8]

I have been convinced since last weekend that buying a weekend home in Matland located near a mosque, the owner can save on cheapest fire insurance premium on Malaysia.
