    This is very encouraging. Do you think it's time for all of us struggling like squeezed crap Middle Class to move to Johor first before everything gets too expensive 3-5 years down the road? At least we can have a decent "roof over our heads" and retire comfortably in our golden years.

    Thanks for the assurance Ksl. I have been traveling into Johor for 3 times within these 2 weeks to get myself more acquainted with the Area, esp in terms of Telcos, Banking, transport etc. I must say that their "Home Broadband Technology/Network seems 10 years behind Singapore". Most are still...

    For Electricity and Water bills, do we need to pay any Deposits? And if so, how much is it? Just to share, for any Postpaid lines, the Deposit is now $500. But the troublesome issue is - The Service Centers are so far away at Taman Molek? Headache.

    Haha..nice going. I m not so concerned for myself as I will be travelling everyday In/Out for Work. I am only worried for my wife as she will be only coming out once a month to renew her Social Visa. Of course if the MAC machine works perfectly everytime, no issues. Only worried if the machine...

    Hi guys, Just wish to confirm that there is really no issues for a Singaporeans to safely just buy a Propery and to live in Johor "Permanently", and travelling to and fro is solely just dependant on MACS. I guess at this point of time my greatest worries is Malaysia customs giving...

    Hmm, if it's just RM250, maybe it's still reasonable. Anything more it's a bit ridiculous as you are basically just paying for a plan, not like as if they are giving you a free phone. RM1500 deposit = daylight robbery. If postpaid is a risky option for Singaporeans, what is the best prepaid plan...

    Hi Guys, Is it possible for Singaporeans to get PostPaid lines in Malaysia? Just saw the offers by U Mobile Hero U70 and Celcom First Gold: very cheap! Only RM70 and RM80 and you get unlimited calls + 7-15GB of data plan; pretty awesome. In Singapore, i think you have to fork out $150...

    Shop houses near Pelangi Mall? - Got it will take a walk around there and see if there are any decent lighting shops with reasonable prices. With regards to handphone, i was rather more like comparing prices of Samsung and LG in Malaysia as opposed to in Singapore. I don't exactly use...

    Renovation to your homes

    This Thread seems like it has been "dead" for a while but no harm asking i guess. Anyone here knows where to find good and reliable Contractors for Lighting Installation for Condos that is near JB Customs? My unit comes with "0" lights.

    Hi Guys, I might really join you guys soon in the near future. Checked on a few developments near JB Customs, and found one that is reasonably priced 10mins walking distance away. One thing i notice - All of the New units don't come with any lights, you would need to install them all by...

    Hi People, I understand that there are 2 types of Taxes one would need to pay if you own a property n stay in Malaysia - Property Tax n Quit Rent Tax. I am a little confused on these 2 taxes, esp Quit Rent Tax. If I were to purchase a Condo property of say 650sqft near Johor customs under...

    Hi EcBoy, Thanks for the heads up. Yup i went to see the SOHO for V Summer on the webby, it looks very impressive, like some princely royalty apartment high up in the clouds - the ceiling is so Tall, so relaxing. However having said that, it's not within my budget, and i don't need such huge a...

    Hi Ec Boy/All, I do find PC overpriced as well, hence I m a bit reluctant. I find Skyhabitat n esp V Summer pretty interesting, as it's really value for money. Is there anyone who have purchased a unit in V Summer. Care to share info on this development? How much is it for a 1+1? Other than...

    I am just wondering if paying RM600K for a studio unit at Princess Cove is worth it? I am not too familiar with Property Prices in Johor. Am i like paying a good price for it? or am i being "bluffed" by the agent etc? Is that location worth RM600k for a studio? Basically what caught my eye for...

    Hi Frodo, Kudos for the answer, I guess for much greater savings, to forgo the meager $150 - $200 GST so called bluff "Rebate" is worth it if 90% of our spending is in Johor. It's extremely hard and not worthwhile to afford a Re-sale Flat in Singapore, and the years of waiting for a BTO is...

    I was just thinking. If my IC is being changed to a Malaysia address, how does the Singapore GOVT gauge how much to give me for my yearly GST rebate? Usually if the address in a Singapore address, they will base on if you are staying in a HDB or Private Property to see if you qualify for $100...
