    I believe so. Along the way, someone said they will consider imposing the levy for foreign cars coming into its Northern corridor, but Najib, too busy with MH17 or other, has not okayed it. My take of the matter is that any increase is a very sensitive issue and that could be the reason why...

    Ya, I don't understand the Malaysian administrators. For the VEP fees, Najib okayed it but left it to some department to work out the charges and we are all waiting for the news. Suddenly out of the blue, the Transport Department Chief came out with this arbitrary fees which I think they know...

    Why should they tulan? They want to make Singaporeans and foreigners go over and spend money and invest in Iskandar either in the form of factories or selected businesses. There was no reason to impose VEP fees since they want more people to enter JB. Take Ron7 for instance, the price without...

    I think they are still testing the waters when it is quite clear that the effect of any VEP fees is lesser business and investment in Iskandar.

    Today I took a bus from Kranji to JB Sentral. The trip was smooth going and we arrived in JB's CIQ within less than half an hour. I noticed the traffic travelling into Singapore was congested with lorries and I wondered how come they could not be diverted to 2nd link since most tour buses have...

    I believe it is the same everywhere, even in Singapore unless the rules change and there are not enough buyers and they give discounts here and there to match the prices in the first phase. At Sunway Ledang Heights, the sales staff was telling me that there would be staggered increases in the...

    I was talking to her last week. I kept quiet when she told me she is looking for rental for around rm2500 for her shoe box unit. I was driving when she told me. I got a shocked. They are good girls trying to get rich by investing. Nothing wrong with it. But when you surround yourself with some...

    New developments to share

    There is always a first time and then it carries on, mostly with increases rather than decreases. When the charge is imposed, the money goes somewhere and it is hard to stop or decrease. So the first time has to be right, otherwise investors and consumers shun away. Actually travelling by bus...

    What the SMEs say sounds right but whether or not KL, Johor administrators and the Sultan will agree. I believe if they impose it, it's only to feel good. Since the last two years new rules have made investments in Iskandar less attractive........surely they do not make the JB residents better.

    I fully agree with Cow138.....As the news of the impending VEP fees hit 'foreigners', many will say goodbye to Princess Cove, Country Garden and many more. Just cannot imagine the cost of lost business and S$ when it is implemented just to make themselves feel better. I tend to think...

    Ya, Bro, I used to 'potong jalan' here too, but since sometime early this year, they blocked this up, I also don't know why. And now there remains I believe two ways to jb custom, one from edl and the other from the townside. To me, the jam could be an excuse to impose high entry fees, but will...

    There are a lot of draw from the videos on the fantastic skylines and shorelines of Country Garden for Chinese nationals before MH370 and I heard many bought. Must have believe the waters are like those surrounding Hainan where they built-seven stars hotels....I think somehow the perceived high...

    I agree with you, Ginfeely. Already people in KL are making noise, but hopefully the administrators in JB and her Sultan will ensure that any increase at all will not make everyone losers.... I went to JB yesterday afternoon and found the two checkpoints not so congested. Could this be the...
