Re: Guide to Living in Malaysia (crimes) Be careful of those "scratch and win" scams. Some years ago, I encountered such a scammer at one of the rest stops along the highway to KL. http://news.xin.msn.com/en/singapore/elderly-woman-cheated-of-dollar12700-in-scratch-and-win-scam-in-johor-1

I was at the NI sales office today for a look-see. I was told by the sales guy that the quota for foreign buyers is reached. However buyers can register their interest for future lots that's yet to be released.

SSC: posted rate 2.45. Larger amounts - 2.453

Yes, the prices have gone up but good to know they are offering an early bird discount. The layout of the new precint is really nice though with a backyard garden between the row of houses.

Their web site does not reflect the new precint yet. You can find out more info on the development here: http://www.spsetia.com.my/setia_eco_garden/

Setia Eco Gardens is currently having a soft launch for the new Eco Village precint.

Re: Buy property in malaysia but no income proof I don't have a monthly pay slip to show as proof of my income while applying for a loan because I work for a foreign company that remits my salary directly to my bank account. I had to provide the last 3 month's bank statements, remittiance...

Hello Crystal, Sorry to hear about your bad experience. My better half went for a hair cut at a salon at Giant Hypermart (Bukit Indah) a couple of weeks back. Friendly staff and cost only RM20 I think. The result is quite good too. Go on Saturday as less customers because of "no plastic...

Hi Arsenal, Pray tell, where did you do your remittance?

I was at SEG last weekend to talk to some appointed banks' representatives and Hong Leong gave me the impression that they do not want to do business. Usually I spend at least a good half hour asking about their mortgage plans but with HL, it was just 10 minutes. No skin off my back, though ...

In the video it looks like the guy is chipping away at the wall plastering with a hollow steel pipe. No wall plaster will stand up to such abuse.

Re: Most competitive mortgage provider/bank Last Saturday, I was at SEG for the SPA signing. There was a CIMB rep and spoke to her about mortgate plans. This was the offer: Loan type: Flexi Max loan: 85% Max loan tenure: 22 years (base on our age) Lock-in first 3-years interest at 4.5% After...

Yes, true. I only use it as a reference before heading to a money changer.

You got a good rate. I was offered 2.425 at Sun Plaza today.

I came across this blog from Meridian Design: http://meridiandesign.blogspot.com/. Very informative and from the finished projects that were highlighted, I am quite impressed. For those contemplating engaging an ID, this company is worth checking out however they are located in KL area.

Hi Crystal, Thanks for the tip. Its early stage as the scheduled handover is next year. Still, it doesn't hurt to do my homework early. There was a number of ID exhibitors at the home fair and only a couple of them made an impression. The rest are quite mediocre.

Hi avalon74, Thanks for the pic, its very well taken :-) Looks like the buildings are about completed. The signing of the SPA is arranged for next Saturday. Sorry to read about the electrical problem in your house. Better engage a reputable electrician to check the whole house. This...

Thanks. I went down to have a look. Mind boggling, to say the least. I'm looking for a good interior designer but its interesting to see what the exhibitors have to offer.

Any Home Fair or similar events this month (April) in Johor?
