As someone mentioned, how come the seat seems to be placed behind? :) Well... Maybe Malaysians wont' take the bus. But maybe also when more foreigners stay there, they will take bus? Then again, cars are cheap in Johor. Not sure if it makes sense to take bus. So I also dunno the bus...

Congrats to those who have already gotten their bank loans to buy properties! The banks' stricter lending now is one of the reasons why not many are buying Malaysian properties, eg Iskandar. But on the other hand, I think they are also afraid of the oversupply and bubble forming.

I wonder if this bus stop outside of Afiniti condo in Medini will be part of the BTS (bus system) in future.

I asked all the cars and people to move aside first. Then I took the pictures. Ok seriously, to be honest, that's the condition of the place! I was there before. Whether you go weekdays or weekends, morning or afternoon, there are hardly any cars on the road. As for people, even worse. Hardly...

Latest August 2016 updates. Got these from another website:

Haha... We set up The Hope Club!

I thought 2nd link should be less crowded than causeway? The last 2 times I traveled in the weekend morning at about 10am it was pretty smooth. But I took a bus so not sure if it's the same as driving in yourself.

Wait for more people to move in after the condos are completed and more from Singapore to set up their companies there. The whole place should be busy and spruced up by then?

Love it or hate it... You got to give it to the China developer for being able to build such a gigantic project in such a short time! Now it remains to be seen how the whole thing will take off once it's completed. The picture shows the condos very packed next to each other. Friday, 26 August...

Aerial view of Medini Lakeside. Whole place seems very slow moving (notice hardly any cars on the roads!) but also interesting how it has transformed over the years.

Anyone knows what is happening to the Volt Corporation in Medini? Construction was supposed to have started in early 2014 but till today, there are only trees there: This is what it is supposed to look like! By the way, where are all the previous forummers and buyers of Iskandar...

Goodbye SG, hello Johor.... Yongnam buys Johor industrial land to move factory operations there AUG 22, 20168:21 PM A WHOLLY-OWNED subsidiary of Yongnam Holdings is buying three parcels of industrial land in Johor for RM46.7 million (S$15.6 million) in order to move its factory operations...

Re: Astaka Padu Sdn Bhd is going to be listed in Singapore???? Although those who bought in 2013 might have paid very high prices, any chance that next time they will be even higher? Malaysian property sales people have been telling me Johor property prices have been rising steadily over the...

Gleneagles hospital and Affinity Group of condos on left.... Iskandar Res is one of them (leftmost)

Re: Astaka Padu Sdn Bhd is going to be listed in Singapore???? That looks like one very deserted shopping centre. Many have said Johor shopping centre prices are only slightly cheaper than Singapore's. They are clearly targeting Singaporeans. I think locals won't shop there. I was at City Sq...

Re: Astaka Padu Sdn Bhd is going to be listed in Singapore???? How did you get the figures of 10%,75% and 15%? I'm not so sure about that. I think developers could have increased the prices themselves during the "herd mentality" days, as some called them. For eg, in 2012, a condo could be...

Re: Astaka Padu Sdn Bhd is going to be listed in Singapore???? Thought early bird always catches the worm.... How bad can it be in the long run?

Wah lao... really that dangerous? Singaporean nearly loses son after car was stolen Aug 22, 2016 7:47pm By DAVID SUN He left his seven-year-old son alone in his BMW for five minutes as he ran an errand while in Johor Baru. When he returned, both the car and his son were gone. He had to...

Re: Astaka Padu Sdn Bhd is going to be listed in Singapore???? Seems like the in-thing to have residential-cum-commercial condos these days. Even in Singapore, many suburban condos are like that. It gives the impression of a "one-stop" convenient place to shop and then go up to your home. I...

With so many Australian banks not willing to lend to foreigners, what happens to those who have already placed their deposits? Are they allowed to pull out based on the reason that they cannot secure a bank loan?
