So Singapore managed to increase its property prices and at the same time reduce its crime rate* , simply by going into charitable mode? I need to really twist my neck to see that one. * (exceptions can be found in certain pockets like Bedok Reservoir & Geylang)

hi bro yonglip, Let me help you blunt the Cons, from my humble view only lah... There is only one real Con. That is the bottleneck at checkpoints. But it can be managed by proper time management (many good tips in previous posts by bro/sis already staying in jb and commuting) to avoid the...

Congrats teck21. It must be a very nice feeling. I hope to be same by later this year.. Hope along the way you can share your adventures in buying furnishings & fittings, dealing with JB contractors & vendors etc... Indeed Iskandar gives a chance to have a good quality of life and an oasis of...

Hi bro, intriguing. unfortunately I think the chance to make quick buck in Singapore by waiting prop price fall and scoop a condo for quick resell is almost impossible now for at least three reasons. - firstly, second prop loan is capped even lower (less bullets), - secondly, seller stamp...

Huiyo! dont massage massage just like that. Better go see doctor. You might make it worst. What you have is whiplash. In America, they sue and go to court. At least google and see what can and not do. I do not think massage is prescribed.

Hi idaman, Although this thread is about living in jb, i will share with you that I was also thinking of this reit but I hesitate because >50% of suntec reit is invested in office spaces. We know where that is heading... if it goes too far south, the rental rates likely to be revised downwards...

Hi RedsYNWA, welcome. I was condering if you could help me. I have been wanting to run my car on the EDL but not sure how to get on it. When coming from Causeway, along Jalan Tebrau, where to turn to get onto the EDL? Is before Jusco Tebrau ?

Hi Investor, Actually in reality, during a crisis, companies try to delay capital expenditure. So I do not think the coming financial crisis will be an immediate boost for Iskandar. Iskandar has always been positioned as a long-term-horizon project. So businesses will need to take a long term...

Hi horizonhills, I like it that you always tell it like it is. People need to go in with eyes open. Appreciate if you could you share why, inspite of the increasing traffic, you are still optimistic enough that capital appreciation will happen that you are going to the extent of looking to...

Hi Polarbear, Your case is intriguing and I do not know the full answers; but allow me to make some logical deductions to kick start and then some more experienced bros and sis can answer better .. 1/ No problem but do Canadians need visa to visit Malaysia? Perhaps not, as both are parts of...

Hi Bastian, I will always go with developer direct when possible, and it is possible now with Greens launch in HH and as some wrote in NI as well. They normally absorb all kinds of fees and you get the 2 years defect warranty. Also savee hassle of transfer of properties, bumi lots issues...

Same same whether in Singapore or Malaysia. Singaporeans also enjoy staying in own landed house where can grow anything (except poppies & marijuana), nobody's business . Also no one like other's pets coming over to their space to pee or poo. You know how dogs can be territorial, heck cares...

try convincing that to the security guy at the HH precinct guardhouse :)

I did not know that . When I went, it was Friday prayers time so no one except security guard. Probably because less than RM500k or Malay reserve land.... Pity as location not bad. No matter. Not on market means not on market. Other fish to seek...

Hi Lord Aragon, Interesting debate you have started here. Unfortunately I think it is sending confusing messages. Let me try to clarify,.. at least for myself. A property can be Freehold and also at the same time Strata-titled. It just means you can pass it on to your later generations...

One has to pay a premium to buy into a G&G. People who choose to pay the premium are because they want security, plus a nice lifestyle to boot. Thus in no one's interest not to pay the maintenance & security... of course there will be bad apples, eg when lose income or just bad attitude. For...

If HK-Kowloon and Pudong-Puxi can have tunnels that do not stretch forever, why not Singapore-JB? Any civil engineer here to help enlighten me?

Have you visited Nusa Bayu? It is one of UEM's "Nusajaya Residences" collection . http://www.uemland.com/projects/residence.htm I dropped by one time in early 2011 while they were clearing-the-land stage with a show house and sales office. Is just off the other side of the turnoff (exit 307)...
