Seems like you paid a deposit but haven't sign the SPA. Now becomes bumi unit and you can't buy, shouldn't they compensate you ? You waited 3 months and incurred opportunity costs right? But I guess they must have covered themselves somehow.

Need to open a FD of RM3ook. After 1 year, can take out RM150k for property purchase, medical or education but must maintain minimum RM150k throughout. Currently, loan is about 4plus percent interest whereas FD is 3plus percent. So I thought might as well use the 150k towards the loan payment...

Bought JB house already but didn't poll because all answers not correct leh.. May I suggest the poll to be: - living in JB now (rent) - living in JB now (buy) - bought property already and plan to live there in 5yrs time or less - bought property already and plan to live there in more than 5...

My first thought was that the study did not consider the personal tax impact which would favour those countries with high wage-high tax countries. I searched for their methodology and found that they did used the wage after tax . This is really worrying for the next gen Singaporeans. We have...

I couldn't really understand the full issue but a well known overseas prof suggested that the Sg government has committed accounting fraud !! http://www.baldingsworld.com/2012/07/12/the-158-billion-singapore-budget-accounting-fraud-part-i/#comments Wonder what is the WP's opinion on this. They...

No need uturn. If i remember correctly, exit at tebrau highway towards Kota tinggi/desaru. Or can exit further on at Adda Heights. 15mins is likely with no jam.

My personal opinion is that they wont increase from 500k to 1m in JB overnight. Maybe to 750K in JB. When they increase the minimum from 250k to 500k, what happens to those properties in the range of 250k ? This may provide some clues what would happen to those priced about 500k now (i.e...

The thing is.... S$1m condo seems easy to chew for Singaporeans. Why ? Maybe low interest rate.

I believe SIN schools have quite good standard and it is highly subsidized for Singaporeans. Stress is part of life and a fact of life. Actually, I don't think the kids feel stress becos of attending the SIN school. It is the parents who exert the pressure on the kids and expect them to be at...

I believe Yes to your first 2 questions. I am using remittance companies like Wealthgate in AMK Central. Exchange rate is typically better than money changer but they have $10 fixed commission. But I think not practical to TT each month for the installment. Your cost of transaction would be...

Sky Peak at Setia Tropika ? ~5-10mins from 1st CIQ using EDL.

Re: Seeking objective opinions Marry a singaporean wife. Best of both worlds.

Can deduct your costs...like agent fee, property & quit tax, insurance, maintenance, etc and most importantly your loan interests payment. A 500k loan for 25yrs would have interest of about RM21k. Assuming a rental of RM2500 x 11 months, revenue is RM27500. so if we have other cost of say...

I think the rental price of a terrace unit can depend on how big it is, the location, age and project among others. As we know the price of a terrace in JB can probably go from about RM200k to more than RM600k. So we can naturally expect rental to have a big variance. You pay for what you get...

Re: Prepaid mobile BB / Data Plan Thanks. Checked their website. It is true. Their roaming rates is also expensive similar to Tunes.

Re: Prepaid mobile BB / Data Plan Oh and there is a 50MB/day plan at RM0.88 per day .

Re: Prepaid mobile BB / Data Plan Any one tried Tune Talk ? www.tunetalk.com RM48 validity for 365 days with RM10 credit. Only drawback is that the roaming rates for voice is very expensive. (i.e. if you call malaysia from Sg) But if you use it just for the few times a month when you go...

Yes I heard condos in KL have swimming pool with no water, lift not working, etc. Wonder why is it so? Can't the management do something to those people who don't pay? They should have the legal powers if the condo is strata-title.

Yes. I am a SG tt to my own AmbAnk acct.

I think G&G landed would face about the same problem as the condo. Many high end G&G landed bought by foreigners also. If most default the security fees, eventually no security also.
