Drove past but did not have time to snap a picture to post here. Maybe someone can confirm with a photo or brochure?

Just passed by the LF sign board today and they are advertising Merbok Creek already. Was told by sales people they will be launching in Oct.

Re: Lawyers Your lawyers should be in a better position to advise. My lawyers recommended the valuer and I deal directly with the valuer. For my purchase of a subsale property with almost similar value, I paid RM2,600. Tried to bargain but they claim it's a fixed price. Hope this helps.

Re: Foreign-owned Levy Malaysia This was what I did: contact the agent to view the property first. Obtain the full property address, name of owner and selling price but don't pay anything yet, not even an "earnest deposit". Next, if you are still keen on the property after the viewing, contact...

Valdez, thanks for the Mark Mobious post. Wonder why the mainstream papers did not report on it. I am giving you one reputation point for this!

http://mm2hnet.com/tc.asp c. Domestic Helper Each applicant is allowed to apply for one maid subject to the prevailing guidelines of the Immigration Department of Malaysia.

Exactly my point. Better to buy a MY car than going through the trouble of importing a scrap from SG. Thus, one less incentive to get mm2h. For the maid question, need some experts to advise. My understanding from the mm2h privileges is that a foreigner will need it in order to hire a maid in...
