I am new to that area. How have prices moved over the past year? The Japanese are coming in droves; Singapore and Malaysia. You should do well!

Re: Living in JB 3 (Johore) Your points reminded me of an interesting movie that I caught recently. A Hong Kong production that starred Louis Koo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=SG&v=jY7Wx0V_Dv0&hl=en-GB

That's great! How's the development coming along? I understand that it was launched with much fanfare last year.

So when can we start? I know a good corporate secretary to start the business? :D

Re: Other parts of Malaysia - KL London is another place that is getting attention for property investors. Did you live there?

Seems like the it is the return of the prodigal son!

Re: Living in JB 3 (Johore) True. That still does not take away the fact that Malaysia can be quite a dangerous place if one habours a personal vendetta against you!

Re: Other parts of Malaysia - KL Bro LordEthan, you seem to know more than just developers well.

Sounds like a steal as compared to the prices of the new condominium launches in JB Town.

Re: Other parts of Malaysia - KL Need to consult you which apartments are nearest to the babes. :)

I understand that it is an upmarket condominium, easily worth more than $2 million for a 1000 sq feet unit. First, they came in as minorities but their voices preceded them, I guess. The locals were probably frustrated and gave up their seats in the committee. This was welcomed as it only...

Re: Living in JB 3 (Johore) Read somewhere that it may be murder because the robbers did not take any of the valuables.

Vincentck may not be wrong if you look at the table below. Singaporeans do not pay taxes unless you earn more than 50K per annum I think. Our taxes also do not go beyond 20%. However, Singaporeans do suffer from plenty of indirect taxes. Strictly speaking, if we consider the fact that the...

That's really sound advice. But do you forsee the possibility of unrest breaking out in the event that the GE result turns out unfavorably for BN? Or is the worry about violence overplayed as usual?

Re: Living in JB 3 (Johore) Rest in peace. Sad story. But are the fences at Horizon Hills electrified? If not, there's really no guarantee that the crooks cannot scale them and attack the residents. But if it is not, is it a double layered fencing system? Better still, the concertina wire...

Quite true, eh. The G&G facilities should be enough. But seems like security issues and concerns are still dominating some conversations here and thus thought of the relevance of the private security services!

You probably possess more property knowledge than the average Johorean - with all due respect to our Malaysian friends living there!

Maybe you could start first and employ Wuqi as your advisor since he knows so much about the Iskandar region. What about a private security company since there is a need for it? I remember that when I was in South Africa, such services are well liked by the locals and also heavily subscribed...

You may need to divide the pool in that some of the baby boomers are really not complaining about housing but healthcare. The younger generation would be more for changes in the housing policies but enjoying the changes to the F&B scene here. Some middle/senior management folks in the 35 to 45...

Heard from a friend who is staying in that condominium that the Singaporeans got fed up and now the MC are majority controlled by the nationality. I would not be surprised if some of the Resident Committees in HDB Estates face the same issues.
