Not the only ones re-tooling their strategies: http://www.theedgeproperty.com.my/content/johor-state-govt-attempts-revitalise-mall-medini-nusajaya I always wondered what on earth the point was of the various shops there. Wandered in one or two times but was always unable to find any reason...

Please do let us know how you get on with them. Will be interesting to know how zest turn out for you. Am looking for a Reno company in 6 months, so keen to hear any positive or negative experiences with this one.

Perhaps this was just a single bad experience, but I saw this link earlier today and thought I'd share.. My personal experience is that any single contractor can be a gift from heaven or a curse from hell! Just stipulate everything, keep an eye on and you should be ok. I have little sympathy...

Well, yes and no. It's as correct as when people say 'nip it in the butt', 'I could care less', 'irregardless', 'expresso', 'peak my interest', 'waiting with baited breath' and my personal favorite 'on tenderhooks'. New modern teaching I guess, everyone gets a sweetie and a pat on the head...

Don't worry, the euphoria of selling 1mdb generation assets to China will wear off as oil grinds towards the mid 20s.

Common error. All that glisters is not gold. Yeah - I have to say I am going to have to accuse UMLand of talking their own book in their paid properly advert!

Heard a few people say that. Why you? Just ease for getting between the two marinas? View is similar to Imperia

http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/johor-baru-city-centre-set-for-transformation Well, they aren't slowing down with attempting to rejuvenate Johor state - looks like they are doubling down. Sensible IF they can increase traffic to JB, will provide rationale for people occupying Danga Bay etc...

Well, I was wrong this week for Ringgit direction. But, the currency men continue to have a very negative view on the outlook for RM. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-19/asian-index-futures-mixed-as-dollar-holds-biggest-slump-in-month

OMG - a missed opportunity to talk about 'kampong spirit'?! Impossible!

Haha, yeah I saw that. Additionally hedge funds are all calling a bottom on oil. On the plus side, most don't think interest rates can go higher due to the sheer strength of the currency, limiting a runaway dollar. Only thing is...doesn't China look weak at the moment. Wonder if it'll keep...

I see this thread has descended into farce. These tit-for-tats are utterly pointless. I would make the point that property wealth is a very passive means of building it. However, I know I'd immediately be told 'hey buddy, you don't know me - I started Virgin Airways'. Or something equally silly...

Interesting views from everyone. Dec won't see a US rise, but Feb probably will. UK will be in May, but Europe at large won't need to raise rates, they are still highly accomodative and dovish on fiscal policy. Oil won't be rising until after Jan as prices won't tick up till March. Rates will...

Why do you say that?

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-05/malaysia-keeps-rate-unchanged-amid-growth-risks-weak-ringgit Think there is another bout of weakness in oil due this year as markets baulk at growing inventories. Then I'll change some money.

I had the exact same experience. Spent a day doing a big circuit through Malacca. Got back to sg, fifty yards from my condo, parked at a red light, waiting to turn right In a filter lane and some woman just drove into the back of me, sent me flying. Infuriating that she just got out and...

I'm not advocating investing in multiple properties there, no! What I am saying is that if you like PH and want to get a place there, it's not a bad but. S$400k for a 1200sq ft 30+ floor freehold condo is good anywhere...particularly for somewhere within 45 mins (on a great day) of SG, with the...

There is no right or wrong really, if you like something and it doesn't stretch your ability to repay - why not? This group's got interesting people in it, all with different views. Before joining, all I had were rabid views from 'pro Iskandar' (agents, dreamers) and 'anti Iskandar' people...

Have to say I do agree: the RM1m minimum pricing sticker has introduced an artificial 'floor' which is way too high. Result is that mortgages will be more expensive than rentals can support. BUT - if you have cash to splash, a PH apartment will certainly be nice. The fittings will be good...

I was over in PH on Saturday. I crossed the border from SG at 3pm on a motorbike: even at this time on a weekend, it was a nightmare to get over - all at the SG side. Had a nice beer at the Brussels cafe and reflected that I had it all wrong, all along. Iskandar is not an alternative in any...
