I'm a bit confused now. Is this financial centre the same as the planned CBD in Kota Iskandar? How many CBDs are there in Johor? 2?

Some are doing short stay rental. But I think the amount is not a lot. For own use, maybe nearest to Woodlands CIQ will be better?

Oh ha. I didn't know that. Means he already got 2 properties in JB. Can still buy more mah. :)

Just curious... Why you don't want to invest in JB?

I didn't really believe it until I checked the prices myself. 3 bedroom, 1045 sqft, RM373 psf or RM390,000 only. That's like S$130k. Wah... where to get condo in Singapore for that price?! Unfortunately, the owners can only sell to Malaysians. I wonder if the prices are still higher than...

Sure bo?!!! Wah lao... If true, I am even angrier now!!! :( What is this gahmen doing?!!!

It's true la. I've personally verified it myself. If you have young friends, ask around. It's not an isolated incident. I've even heard a person tell me directly he has failed balloting 8-9 times. But this happened 5 years ago. And that person is not lying. I'm surprised BTO flats till today are...

Haha... ya that's why. When I heard a multi-millionaire is staying in a flat, I'm like Huh? This is clearly a loophole. They should check first his salary, then if he owns any company. Does the company have any property assets? Imagine many of the rich doing this. Very soon, you will see all...

As I've just mentioned a post earlier, it's ok to let flat owners buy private properties if the govt had gotten their polices right. The problem now is, 1, flat prices have increased too high too quickly and 2, many 1st timers can't even ballot successfully. So they need to rethink and tweak...

Yes, I know what you mean by that. I also agree. But because the SG govt has allowed HDB flat prices to go out of control, the subsequent policies will naturally also have to take into account the issue of owning a flat and private property at the same time. Not everyone started out owning...

Yup. Singaporeans are generally rich for a tiny SE Asian country. But they feel poor because a lot of their wealth is locked up in their properties and CPF. I think Singaporeans are generally asset rich but cash poor. They are tied down by too much loans and bills to pay. Not many can...

No matter how one gets into the situation, I feel someone who is already holding on to a private property should not be buying or staying in a HDB flat. I don't know how they end up in this scenario. I understand there are loopholes. But it just doesn't make sense that the super rich can take up...

Move to JB but work in SG is do-able only because of your specific situation mah.... Cos your wife not working right? For those with husband and wife working, kids already well-settled in SG schools, it's extremely tough to change everything overnight. Even if you see the point, your family...

This shows 1. Singaporeans are blardy rich. 2. Investors are still bullish and confident about Singapore. 3. The SG govt will not remove the cooling measures. 4. Herd mentality plays a strong part in property buying. For me, I think the properties are all overpriced. But only time can...

You JB boy different. I always feel those who are from JB but work in SG have the best of both worlds. You earn in SGD but go back home nearby to spend in RM. Can buy a nice big house. If you can get Singapore PR, even better. Got CPF. Our govt loves you. You are street smart because if...

HDB flat owners can own private. But private owners cannot buy new BTO flats. That's what I know. But there are loopholes which I think the govt knows but is not doing anything about it. For previous private owners, they can still buy resale HDB flats if they sell their private properties...

Now we know who the rich ones are. In the past, I used to think those who live in HDB flats are commoners. Now I know there could be multi-millionares and towkays in there. They could be owning thriving businesses with million $ revenues per year, own several upmarket private properties, but...

You also have private property in SG? I was referring to those who own HDB flats and yet allowed to hold private properties. The more I think about it, the more I feel it's wrong. No wonder HDB flat prices have increased so much. Imagine if in a block of flats, there are many of such high...

actually I'm quite surprised. It was only recently I realized those who own private properties actually have HDB flats too. I've nothing against the owners but I think government should ban this. HDB flats are meant for the larger population who are commoners and earning below a certain...

When is your condo ready? Are you taking Malaysian bank loan? You buy to enjoy it right... not for investment?
