    I got a full refund but that is probably because I booked 2 but bought only one of them. Although I think you should follow the terms and conditions as stated in the deposit documentation, I believe you have a case as it's only 3 days. Don't we have a 7 days cooling off period rule for most...

    Living in JB 2 (Johore)

    HDB just announced this. Good for Singaporeans who would have less competitors for rental and sales of HdB flats. That might even make these SPR consider JB properties. Under the revised rule, SPR flat owners will be allowed to sublet their flat after meeting the MOP, if they have not sublet...

    To make you feel better, I also receive similar letter from Ambank. So I checked with Setia and my rep assured me to ignore the letter and that Setia would pay interest. On the next month, I receive the letter again but the previous month's interest were no longer there....so it must have been...

    Travelling wise, assuming no jam, its ~10minutes from malaysia custom to Adda heights Exit using EDL. From this exit, it'll take another ~10minutes to reach SEC. The roads are new and wide here and traffic quite light now. But much empty space available for residential and thus traffic may...

    Chen Show Mao

    You mean one should reject one of the most prestigious jobs in the world just so that he can remain in singapore to serve ICT a few weeks a year? Or if one is overseas due to job employment, he would need to have an exit permit which means he won't be called up for ICT. Are you a moron ?

    Now, you should scout around for a loan if you are taking one. If they are offering interest absorption scheme during construction, then they have a list of tied-up banks for you to choose from. Once you more or less firm up the bank, I believe the next thing then should be to sign Setia's...

    Bought Setia Sky Gardens and estimated to be ready only early 2014. Intending to use it as holiday home initially...then rent out if possible. So far, I've only been to the Macdonald's, although there's also the KFC and Starbucks nearby. Understand that they are building a commercial...

    Singapore to Senai airport

    Thanks all for reply. I just called a number 6296-7054 (Johor Taxi Service) and the man quoted S$85 to pick me up directly from home to Senai Airport (or the hotel). They will sms me the taxi number plate and time to confirm. Maybe I would just take a cab directly to airport on the flight...

    Singapore to Senai airport

    I booked air tickets from senai airport to Kota Kinabalu in June. Departing 10.30am on a sat. I am thinking of spending a night at U and Me hotel at Kulai so that I would not miss the flight. Anyone stayed there before and how is the surrounding in terms of safety? Do you think it is ok...

    M'sian govt to double minimum property price for foreigners to RM1million?

    As it's commercial title, quit rent and assessment charges would be base on commercial rates. Quit rent is very small amount only....like RM2-3/m2. For assessment charges, the rates are 0.13%(residential) vs 0.26%(commercial) of market value of property. So total difference maybe RM600-800/yr...

    M'sian govt to double minimum property price for foreigners to RM1million?

    Hi Cathy, I bought a unit in SGR. The S&P did not specify anything about it's on commercial land. The sales people did not say anything about it being on commercial land. If it's developed as a residential project, I can suppose the land is meant for residential and not commercial...

    All about cars in Malaysia

    Re: New Causeway toll! Expected, as all along they have been saying locals no need to pay to use EDL and only if they need to cross causeway. The question is whether SG cars have a choice not to pay if we dun use EDL. We must protest like the malaysians leh..... Does it make sense to buy...

    Re: Shit happnes on the road, what should you do when your vehicle breakdown ? Your car insurance should cover JB right? There should be a list of qualified JB workshops that you can use and some numbers for towing service provided by insurance company.

    To me ....SPR living in JB and not really working in singapore but holding on to HDB to collect rental ....sounds like a flaw in the system. The key is that he is not exactly working in SG. But my thinking may be wrong. I did not know that becoming a part time housing agent also can qualify...
