Now HDBs are oversupplied and they will permanently be in oversupplied state due to recent policies. If a new rule requires existing HDB owners with pte properties to sell their HDBs, prices will correct badly, thus harming other owners as well. I hope you are not wishing for this to happen...

You can upgrade from HDB to pte properties after MOP, but not the other way round. The rules to own HDB are very strict now. Many people are still staying in HDB and renting out their pte properties. These people are already paying quite a lot of taxes. This applies to many people staying...

Indeed it is a rather strange developer that doesn't like trees and landscaping. I haven't been to BDO for a long time.

Singapore has threatened enhanced VEP as well on Malaysia vehicles if the VEP is really implemented. It is reasonable to assume that Malaysia is adopting a more cautious approach in view of this and the bilateral meeting last week. VEP fees will be matched ‘in some form’ if they discriminate...

Overall it is okay to me as my expectations are not high, but some areas can definitely be improved. It might be better for the developer to set up a section to provide better estate maintenance as its manpower is quite lean at the office.

Aeon Q1 profit falls 42% Friday, 20 May 2016 KUALA LUMPUR: Aeon Co (M) Bhd posted a 42% drop in net profit to RM28.7mil in the first quarter ended March 31, as the country’s biggest listed retailer was hit by higher operating cost and lower margins amid weaker consumer sentiment. The sharp...

I guess more malls/shoplots, weaker economy, lesser tourism from SG and increase in online shopping are taking a toll on JB retail. With VEP from JB and possibly higher levy from SG, things will get worse as they will reduce disposable income of locals who work in SG.

In landed, you are your own MSCT and security guard, and this is good if you are a hands-on person and have plenty of time. In condos, there are less structure-related things to manage inside your house, but you depend on MSCT to keep things in proper order and everyone to contribute to the...

What will happen to the seized money and assets? US is the real trouble-maker for creating the great recession, conflicts in other countries and monsters like ISIS.

Pests (termites, ants, cockroaches etc) are part and parcel of landed properties, unless you have a full-time helper or owner thoroughly cleaning and checking on the house everyday. Desa Tebrau has land reserved for more commercial elements and the main developer Plenitude is controlling the...

It looks like the AYE below the orange sector could be realigned downwards to accommodate the HSR terminal, and Jurong Regional Line might have a station serving it. The orange sector will be the expansion of the International Business Park at Jurong East but with commercial/leisure components...
