    Hi Arsenal, when you mentioned the entrance to Poresia Country Club, i assume you hv already entered the main gate of LF. in case you took the LF main gate as the entrance to Poresia Country Club and continue to drive on, then you would end up at the highway to PTP port.

    i think private road vs public road makes a difference on G&G regulation. I hv seen private road in sg. few years ago the road immediate adjacent thomson medical hospital was a private road. hospital visitors who parked their cars along the road could get fined when residents called traffic...

    read somewhere the regulation was changed a few years ago to foreigner-local ratio of 50-50. makes sense if iskandar is eyeing for foreign investment in property.

    Gelang Patah is nostaglic! bring your parents and grand parents there and you hv to bear with their stories of good old days. but it really makes them happy, like traveling in a time machine. no supermart but small kedai that offers personal service. the old sector is a safe place, no worry.

    Nusa Perintis seems a typical local residential area. It might look acceptable when new, but after a few years of negligence of public service and house owners doing whatever they like, it looks depressing. Drove thru the area when I was looking for property and it affirms my decision to stay...

    1)sure can see more stars, like sg back in the 50/60, but do arm yourself against mozzie if you are outdoor. 2)driving at night or early morning makes me alert and feel more alive. wonderful. 3)closeness to nature, quietness and darkness makes me humble, reconfirm my belief in the Creator, but...

    an encounter with mosquito tried several types of mosquito repellants, each worked a few days and then lost its function. guess mosquito needs to suck blood to produce babies, so hv to bear foul smell ( sweet smell to human) to follow natural instinct to reproduce. repellant may work if there...

    Another concern about newly built in a booming time is does the number of skilled labor, especially experienced foremen, boom in proportion to the number of new constructions?

    The disadvantage is uncertainty. It takes time to expose defects in any new building. Go thru at least one year-end monsoon season to see water-related defects. Somehow defects are more likely to expose near or pass the end of warranty period. Resale? U got neighbors to advise you what was, is...

    for folks growing up in cities, we may not be aware of creatures living in their natural habitat. residential areas built on recently cleared forest or plantation may find snakes etc., especially those near the verge of greens. my neighbor found a snake crawling to his doorstep one evening. I...

The incident got fellow neighbors to invest in all sorts of water filters, some the size of a man-height cylinder tank complete with pipes and taps. for...
