    I hope your call turns out correct. Better still if no changes to current policies. Because the developments are so focussed on southern johor. A north south divide will emerge. I would like to see a more broad based development across the State. Agree that there are many ways to skin the...

    Just look at what happened to Penang after the last election for reference. I do think the rate of development in Iskandar Johor will go into higher gear almost immediately. They will ride the Iskandar project and maximise political brownie points. What better still when the foundations are...

    I see the problem as more serious. It is not just Singapore manufacturing but pretty a similar ugly picture for manufacturing around the world. Just look up manufacturing data or new factory orders from Europe, China, India and pretty much everywhere for the last 6 months. Singapore's...

    Meridin at Medini and Astaka Project in Iskandar - any good?

    My 2 cents: Don't know much about the Meridin. For Astaka, if you are buying to stay, I guess as long as you are happy with what you are paying is fine. However that is not your motivation of buying. For investment I would think twice. Old town JB is sure getting its share of doses...

    I am looking for a house to rent. ST is one of my choices. I am really interested in those garage houses. There seem to be 2 types: Dictyo Alba and Mezzo or something like that. I suppose the difference is probably the built up size am I right? My question is about the "garage" at the back...

    Newbie questions

    Re: fees etc for renting a house in Johor What about agent fees? Was told by a friend that only landord pays agent. Is that the standard practice in Johor? He did mention the less honorable agents will attempt to ask the renter for commissions. I apologize I am not familiar with the...

    RE: fees etc for renting a house in Johor For those currently renting, can anyone advise what are the fees in renting a house in Johor? It is currently listed with an agent. How much are agent fees, deposits, etc? My last rental was years back up in Melaka and that was a direct lease from...

    IMO, the way I see it is not a matter of "if". It is more a matter of when. Things are generally getting more expensive in JB now compared to 2 years ago. Food price inflation accounts for part of it. Parts of JB is definitely more crowded now and likely to stay that way. However won't...

    Yes indeed sweaty and tiring. However when you see the fruits and vegs in your garden, you will soon forget how hard it was to begin with :)

    Is this in a pot? If so much easier. If in the ground, can be done just a lot more work. They can be transplanted and roots are quite hardy. If in the pot, just take the entire plant and soil out of the pot. Spread out a large newspaper to catch your soil droppings. You will need to have...

    It is not your imagination but a reality. Not just HDB shoeboxes. Just look around and see how many drivers stick the flag on their cars? Just wait for end Aug, you will see Malaysia lit up with many many flags when they celebrate their National Day.

    Pfingo sells a VOIP (voice over-IP) phone set. It is a dedicated set like a conventional phone with cradle. It just hooks up to your wired/wireless LAN at home. It will also be "ON" so it can be used just like a conventional phone. So won't have issues like the computer based versions. Not...

    I have 2 of those. Shipped those back from the US when I moved back. 2 problems/limitations. It is good only for light vacuuming jobs - like daily runs of the robot. Also the battery lifespan. Mine last less than 2 years and the costs of replacement battery pack is expensive. I think was...

    Thanks for your clarification. So to summarise, strata freehold (Garden Court, Pinggiraran Bayou, BWV and Bayou Creek) no dogs. Bummer. Can I PM you separately to consult you on some other specifics about LF?

    On a slightly separate topic. This one is for the folks who live out in Leisure Farm. I am getting confused with the following and hope someone can advise/confirm. 1. Which of the precincts there where you are not allowed to keep dogs? Those strata freehold type like BWV and Garden...
