It is blocked, but there is a little hole in the barricade which everyone drives through to continue on the highway towards Medini/Ledang. Dunno if it's up, but since everyone driving through, I just follow.

Yep, I think bros Wuqi and Toyo have explained it. When you say single, I think you are referring to those very old kind, the stick in a hole in the wall kind? Just to be sure, the ones we are talking about are 'normal' aircons, just that every blower has its own 'engine' so to speak. Easy to...

Should be mount external wall.

Re: Which bank offers the best FD rate for non-residents? Definitely not as safe as banks in that the deposits there not guaranteed (bank deposits per account per institution guaranteed up to RM250k), but the Malaysian Building Society is 66% owned by the Malaysian EPF board, so maybe quite...

Yah, my wife's relative from KL did mention there's no need to buy foreign brand aircons since not using split systems anyway. There can have system one all over the place why bother with split systems. I picked the most expensive System-4 for my SG place when renovating it, and it's absolute...

LTA: “Singapore’s toll charges are pegged to those set by Malaysia for the use of the Causeway and Second Link.”.

Yah, I know cost is the thing foremost on everyone's mind, I will update once I get quotations from contractor/s. Currently still no quotes yet. Powderful english? Civil service full of people English much more powderful. You are right, probably nothing evil intended by whoever implemented the...

Assuming the 4.3% does not go up, and the 3.5% does not go down, and that the deposit is being compounded (ie rolled over to accumulate more interest rather than taken out), yes even the 3.5% will earn you more interest than you will pay on 4.3% (especially since the interest portion of your...

Maybe send them to Poyan reservoir area? Enjoy the greenery and sound GPMGs roaring. Yah, I don't like to ascribe to political shenanigans what is probably easier explained by sheer incompetence or its equivalent, but it's very hard to excape the feeling that Singapore simply does not want to...

Welcome rogue. Plenty of assistance here, led by Wuqi himself. Late or not depends on your investment horizon and confidence in IM. HH is popular for some of us who like the location, not too near the main shopping areas, and yet not so far. People also like the wide open space. I am about...

But Malaysia BLR has never gone below about 5% in 35 years, so I don't think borrowers will get to see 1% within the next 35 either. How do I attach pic? I got a graph of Malaysian BLR from 1976. People who own private property now must sell their private property if they buy resale, even...

Yah, never forget that sovereign risk is still pretty high when it comes to investing in Malaysia (unless you are mega MNC). Local politics there can dictate what happens to Singapore investments, something we'd be wise to always remember. Just because this is a country of sheep does not mean...

Re: Which bank offers the best FD rate for non-residents? Forget the banks, go for Malaysian building Society if you want to invest FD and purely after higher interest. 3.1% up to 4.25% or even 4.70% depending on tenure and depositor's age. http://www.mbsb.com.my/deposits_fixed.html

Grats DoA! Sorry to hear about the HH experience, I bought resale so I never really needed to have dealings with them, but repeated visits to the sales office really gave me the impression that most of them simply bo chap. Terrible sales people. Wonder how they are remunerated. Not sure how the...

Amazing sales figures, grats nicholas! Dream, the site plan shinyi gave me indicates only 50 units of type A for sale for this phase (70 type B, 50 type A and 6 of the not-yet-launched 22x100s), but anyway good luck with getting a unit for yourself tomorrow! Btw, can confirm if UEM absorbing...

Great contacts, many thanks! Now I have a good idea where to start. I don't mind using multiple contractors for different jobs, and I can see how it may be safer from a financial pov, I am just worried about the coordination part, especially since it's not like I can check up on the progress...

Avalon bro, thanks for the recommendations, does classy have a website? Also for home reno in Malaysia should get different contractor to do different things? Probably no ID, ours is contractor, recommended by our Singapore contractor whom I trust a lot. We have basic idea what we want done...

Good advice, no point worrying about it after you buy it. So you over paid? Then how? Siao liao! I paid too much, lucky I going to live in it, won't die. If you under-paid? Then how? Siao liao, I going to live in it, cannot sell, die! You are there for a better life, worrying about whether...
