    Hi Freedom, You sound inclined to buy, for rent, for own stay or for investment, whatever. I believe most buyers do because real estate appears to be the most profitable if one holds it long enough and the prevailing conditions are right when we divest. So in the end, I venture to say there...

    Hi Bro Narmi, do you know if we could have them delivered to Singapore? Thanks.

    The location in the vicinity of Educity appears to be good, but one will never know cos it's the future. Another thing is the maintenance fees and other incidentals which come once a month. Should the rental income be above RM2k, I believe tax need to be paid. It is a risk worth taking if...

    I tend to tell my friends to buy a unit only if he is satisfied that it is an alternative home for him. Unless the location is very good, it could be a long while for the discerning tenant to come along. I share with you the story of my neighbour. About 10 over years ago, a new development...

    Ya, I think so too, but this guy is so positive-minded. He has renovated the unit and make it fully furnished. Time will tell.

    Ya, it is possible to use EDL. My worry is the discerning tenant, with so many new units coming out for rental is difficult to find.

    I know an owner of a unit at Elita, Straits View Condo. He told me he expects to rent it out for RM6.5k, fully furnished. He has another at the older block renting it out for RM3.5. Don't know if he will get such a tenant.

    Talk Only I just read Datok Dr Wee Ka Siong (MCA), a Minister of Malaysia visited Singapore to talk about the toll rates. Before his trip, he said Singapore's LTA was "unjustified" in matching the toll charges of JB. Singapore has said if JB is to rescind the toll charge any time, she will...

    I agree with Bubble. Some Malaysians are rich. When Encrop Marina, Teega and Imperia were opened for sales, many units were snapped up by investment-savvy Malaysians and all were sold out within days. Even now, some new units are taken up by Malaysians..... Yes, Iskandar is too big to...

    I fully agree, but in JB any restaurant selling Sri Lanka crabs? For cheap breakfast I came across the Fu Rong Coffee (Johor Jaya) shop selling prata, prepared by two Chinese ladies. This appears to be the most popular breakfast here. Good and cheap!

    I would say some are good - good location, good designs and reasonable price. For transportation, without a SG car, we have to rely on JB taxi on call which they responded quite fast. The other day, we called for two taxis to CIQ and they came within minutes of each other. With SG car, the...

    Restoran Wen Hua 2 & 4 Jalan Molek 1/9 Taman Molek Tel: 07-355 4889 We wanted to have a dinner at New Cathay Restaurant in Taman Molek on Sunday night. The facade shows that it is big and grand and there was a large free car park with a guard at the Gate. Surprisingly we did not see many cars...

    I agree with you, but we never know. People from KL and overseas, including Chinese and other Asian countries may also just snap up the units and Iskandar will grow rich like Shenzhen (China). Then 20 years down the road, when Malaysians are sufficiently rich, demand may match the supply and...

    [QUOTE=Frodo;2016435]Darn, just got ambushed at CIQ customs by corrupt policeman faulting me without seat belt, which I normally let go when approaching customs. Did not pay the bribe so got the ticket. Can ignore? My 2-cent is to pay the fine early and get a rebate. I believe they keep...

    I think it can happen to any MP, believing and trusting the word of the residents on their problems. But with due respect, this forum is not meant for this kind of topic. So sorry, I will stop here.

    Ah, talk about this guy, a Beijing tour-guide. From the reports I understand him to be a Mr Goody two shoes so much so that the rich old lady decided to make him her "grandson". Then in Singapore, most probably advised by someone, he set up a company with her. First time, he applied for PR...

    I believe Singapore has since refined her FT policies in the light of some discoveries that some FTs had dubious qualifications. And the lure of Europe and America lessens the inflow of FTs to Singapore. Malaysia has also a large pool of foreign workers. But because it is a much bigger country...

    Hi Beegs, if you are referring to the seafood restaurant called Restaurant Todak, here is a blog with a location map. If you are referring to the Jalan Pering one, here is another blog http://neutea.blogspot.sg/2014/04/orang-asli-seafood-restaurants-at.html. Between the two, the preference is...
