There is no such thing as international lot. There is only bumi and non bumi lots. I notice this term being used errorneously and frequently in Johor. I guess this came about probably becos developers find it hard to explain to foreigners why they cannot sell anymore non-bumi lots to...

That 20/80 restriction is to ensure msians go chance to buy new property frm developers. For resale, as long as valuation is >= 500k can see to foreigner. Tats why i think those proposals to up the foreigner limit is shortsighted considering we already got this 20/80 ruling for new sales. What...

Not just "have nots" and "haves". We are talking about basic human needs here. Why do Msians feel so insecure about the crime rate? Why GnG and condos are more popular than the traditional tamans (I grew up in one of these traditional non GnG taman where I can run around in the street and...

Dont assume. True case in KL, where a house owner did internal reno and assumed no need local authority approval, kena fined by MPAJ (Ampang Jaya). Did a search on MPAJ's website...wah lan, there was really a form to obtain MPAJ's permission to do even internal work like kitchen cabinets, etc...

Re: Living in JB 3 (Johore) Interesting analysis - Recent Punggol East BE may in some way influence Malaysians working in Singapore, esp those hailing and voting in Johor? http://www.mysinchew.com/node/82537

Respect your opinion but I think otherwise. This time there are Malays supporting PKR and PAS so its a mix of Malay + Chinese and Indians all supporting the opposition. Look at the past few gatherings eg. BERSIH rallies, the Anti-Lynas protests, the recent KL gathering, there were a mixture of...

I think the white paper was finished before the BE. Now that the BE is over, they release the white paper probably thinking if they release earlier the white paper may cost the govt some votes.

Only for link houses. I think still have some clusters.

I am not sure of the reason. But I think once hit rm2.50 just change first. If the rates go better its fine as there is a higher chance of rates dropping back below 2.5 and hovering arnd 2.46-2.48 On the overall the rates at end 2012 is much better than 2011. So we shld be happy no matter the...

How ironic that the current Johor BN state govt was last reported to consider raising the foreigner limit to rm1mill and we got ppl worrying abt the GE13. If the current BN state got retain Johor and go ahead with raising the foreigner limit, you also kena what. What for worry abt GE13 then...
