Hi

Was looking at sistic web site, the Legoland annual pass charges are as follows, adult s$80, child s$62 (3-11), snr citizen s$62 (above 60)
Isn't that cheaper to buy ?

Just need to pay RM30 last for a year for Digi prepaid card. The number will retain for a year even without top up. Incoming free but cannot call out. I got mine from Jusco Bukit Indah but believe can get easily from other digi shops as well. It saves the trouble to top up now and then.

Sorry, clarification. "Incoming free but cannot call out when store value 0" - need top up

talking about a property's valuation, or fair value... rather than relying on property websites, is there any place we can check?
i'm assuming that, similar to resale asking price, the developer's price is not equal to the fair value right?

Talking about petrol station. Any bro got any idea how to apply card for use at the pump , instead of paying cash ?

Bro, reply in bold below
:smile:

Agree on all of the above.
Pro of Tmn Laguna is really the size of the house+ the price..
Con is the maintainence of the area in long term is unknown.

Guess if all residents can co-operate, definitely can make the management to make sure the place is well kept and with tight security
The apartment i m staying now after changing the management group, all are well maintained.. at least in a quite satisfactory stage in terms on cleanliness and secuity upkeeping.

Hmm , not a good idea leh. I guess will continue to use Cash mode . Thanks

That's because you use a foreign credit card.. i encountered that before.. unless you guys can have a local credit card.. i don't think foreigner can have a local credit card without proper residential status.

Not sure abt if debit card will b ok.

yes bro.. budget tight...no good over-committing..

i'm now opening myself to resale also..
one will get slapped with these with a resale:

(quoted from teck's forum)
"1) Stamp Duty == 1% - 3% (By Buyer)
2) Lawyer/Solicitor's Fees == 0.4% - 1% (By Buyer)
3) Other Fees == RM180 (US$49) (By Buyer)
4) Real Estate Agent's Fees == 2% - 2.75% (By Buyer or Seller or Both)
5) State Authority Consent == RM10,500 plus RMR500 Application Fee (All foreigners need to pay for this State Consent)
"

What will be 'absorbed' or not need to pay if one gets the property from the Developer?

I believe Lawyer fees should be 1% for 1st 100K and 0.7% for the remaining amount.

As for Agent fees, it will be 1% for buyer and 2% seller. Try to negotiate hard on this as some agent may give a 0.5% discount or even waive it totally for buyer.

If you were to buy from HH, they will waive the lawyer fees (only for S&P) and security fees for 2 years. HH no longer absorbing stamp duty.

one thing.. not sure if bro doa encountered this... there was some burnt rubbish/wood smell in the air.. it is the orang asli's doing?
...

This is one observation I have too, it seems that burning of rubbish or leaves, I really don't know, but it is almost a few times a week. I will shut all the windows when I smell it. Luckily not staggered throughout the day (possible if many household practice this). :*:

Ohh bro, r u referring to the open burning in JB in general? I saw many Open burning everywhere in JB, but since the question was directed to the orang asli, it's possible but can also be caused by the developer's activities in the vicinity ...

My observation are neighbours around where I live, they are not orang asli, and not in Laguna.

I am sharing this because it might not be a Taman specific practice. :smile:
