"wuqi256 ... I am going for the MM2H plan and determine to stick it through." The rules and regulations change from time to time and you need to know exactly what is current. These are found at http://www.mm2h.gov.my/ We used a good agent to make our application, at a time when only agents...

Most of the bigger plant sales centres can fix you up. Sorry I do not know the current cost (it was something like RM$3) or local name, but the plant people generally know. You can buy it in 2'x1' segments and plant it yourself, or they can come in and plant it for you for a fee. Don't make the...

There is another type of grass called Pearl grass, originally from Hawaii, I think. It grows mostly sideways, so height of grass is no longer a major issue. Not anywhere as shiok as walking on carpet grass, but much less work than cow grass. For those with lots of time on their hands, and if...

My kampong. Previously, Ujana was launched at around RM320 to RM350 p.s.f. and at that time, the East Ledang project was the highest cost landed property development in JB. Look up the UEM website for a map. I downloaded one and will try to put it here ... if I fail, someone please give me...

Bros and Sistahs, the JB Arts Festival is on! The JB Arts Festival is on! At Bangunan Sultan Ibrahim: the grounds of Bukit Timbalan and the surrounding roads leading to it are transformed into a wonderland of colour, exciting sounds, movements and lights for the month of July. Feel free to...

Free key-rings Just received this - may be real or another net scare with no basis of truth ... anyway, better to know than not. "There is a syndicate of criminals presenting themselves as sales promoters who are giving free key-rings holders at gas stations or parking lots. The key ring has a...

Re: Almost Robbed in JB

Re: Almost Robbed in JB Appalled by the incident and applaud your courage and stubborn spirit! Very sorry you both had to endure such a bad experience. Much as we would like to live "freely" i.e. to dress, drive and do as we please all the time, it is unwise in Johor [and not smart in...

I highly recommend Daniel - he moved us and many friends, and gives special rates when doing charity moves [donation of furniture ot charities in Johor] see...

Do come over and be astonished at this side of Nusajaya too. Puteri Harbour and the area has so much potential.

Welcome back! Be vigilant without being paranoid. There is much to explore and enjoy ... take it easy. Good health to you all

Import cats the way dogs are imported: your own vet to give a health cert - AVA and pay $50 for certification - bring in - clear in JB with RM$5 fee. No annual license fees for cats. Good idea to neuter/spay and get the shots regularly as cats are vulnerable to the usual feline illnesses here...

We use a Mac and Samsung printer Excel programme was fine too. Dunno if this works for you and your printer - try first? At one time it was also possible to buy for RM$10, a 2 cm+ pile of forms at the immigration counter at the second link ... otherwise collecting 2 - 4 at a time to build up a...

Have a friend who is from NZ. In the days before MACS, he measured carefully and did a "template" of the immigration card and printed out in thick black ink all the answers for the immigration card and kept a stack in the car, which he then just needed to sign and date. It was not difficult to...

Nope Cathy and everyone else, they are still finger printing. Happened with a non-Malaysian guest this afternoon, about 3 pm at the Woodlands side. So true about the noise: envy and whateverelse and whocares. But, remain vigilant about personal belongings on the road and make sure the...

There are a few hotels, all small. After clearing Immigration, Customs and the Toll booth, so straight and leave the highway at 312B - Gelang Patah. Turn left at the metal globe. The first turning on the left again leads you to a hotel immediately. There are others if you cruise around. Pariss...

On to food: for lovers of karna - the many varieties of fruit preserved in salt and sugar - try the spotless Mr Sotong in Perling, same block as the Maybank and Public Bank, just behind Queen Park kopi tiam and sprawling food stalls. Not the absolute cheapest, but still very reasonable and...

Gelang Patah has some small hotels which look a little hairy. Might check out those in Perling like the Pariss Hotel, which is not that far from the second link, and close to most of the developments mentioned on this site.

Re: A philosophical perspective We all have our basket of reasons why we chose to move over to Johor - and some have moved back too, for various reasons. Hangyong's note reflects the jist of the core reasons. And those who both work in Singapore and with children not being home-schooled or in...
