Yes congrats indeed! I did not buy into Astaka but happy to share in the happiness as this is an iconic development that will help to add glamour to JB once completed. Looking forward to that!

True, but there's also other kinds of funny goings in certain parts of the country where certain people are given citizenship at the drop of a hat, as was shockingly disclosed to a royal commission of inquiry last year looking into the influx of illegal muslim filipinos into Sabah which has...

It seems when it concerns KL, transportation projects move very fast. There was recent report of a 3rd MRT line being planned in KL linking to Klang. There's been a long silence on the JB-SG MRT link progress although it is a mere few km long compared to those full-length lines in KL.

If you've been following the news recently, it was the issue of hudud, ie. the implementation of Islamic criminal law, that was being PROPOSED to be implemented in KELANTAN state. Hudud, IF implemented in Kelantan would apply to Muslims only, and only in that state. Non-Muslims will continue to...

It is perhaps this island that's giving rise to some speculation that a casino may emerge in iskandar. With so many mega condo developments being planned especially by those of china developers, I suspect one way to generate and sustain investor interest to help these projects become successful...

Well, with Danga Bay (which is not far from the istana besar) going to become one huge mega mass market condo enclave that's gonna multiply the polulation density many fold and add congestion to the area, I won't be surprised.

Good to hear that more and more of these projects are actually blossoming from 'glossy marketing brochures' these past many months into actual brick, concrete and glass. Its just a matter of 3-5 years before we'll start witnessing a transformation in the once sleepy city skyline to a more...

Re: I honestly thought I was going to die No gated and guarded estate is guaranteed safe http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/05/08/break-in-at-gated-jelutong-heights/

I recall reading something to that effect 10 years ago. No harm being hopeful i suppose.

I just hope they maintain whatever it is they build. ....the clocktower's clock was reported to have stopped for some months "because spare parts had to be ordered"...doesn't give a gd impression for a city to see it's clock stuck in time.

Re: I honestly thought I was going to die I believe this is the same case as reported in the Star: JOHOR BARU: Two suspected criminals were shot dead by the police following an attempt to rob a shopping mall near Tebrau here.* Deputy-Inspector General of Police Datuk Seri Bakri Zinin said...

Re: I honestly thought I was going to die I don't read chinese, so the following is my crude attempt to interpret the above using google translate: (Johor Bahru 3 hearing) Bukit Aman's "Combating Organized Crime Task Force" (STAFOC) tonight annihilated in Johor Bahru Shopping extensive...

Looks like still got "action" happening, at least in terms of China developer interest...: From the Star 28/4/14: ... Greenland had two weeks ago agreed to buy 13.96 acres of land from IWH in the coastal Danga Bay area south of Johor for properties with an estimated gross development value...

That's what I remember reading few month's back... so I was surprised to see this point re-surfacing again recently Mar 27, this time in a report by RHB research...could they have an insider's insight to something I wonder...since any policy/decision on any issue in Malaysia is never cast in...

Why do u say that when it has proximity to RTS and is part of a mega complex with lifestyle components/conveniences?

Are you referring to the main road before entering the estate? I just learnt there's a new hotline which you can use to send common complaints on potholes, clogged drains, street lighting etc to the town council by SMS or WhatsApp. The hotline number is 019-755 5404. Why not put it to the test...

I saw footage on people walking across the causeway in the news on tv last night. I thought walking across causeway was not allowed since the the new jb ciq was built. Maybe they made an exception yesterday.

I understand the commercial area, which may even include offices, will be open to the public. The residential clusters will each have their own guarded gate (in addition to main entrance at highway) which can already be seen with the exisitng completed first phase. What I am unsure about is what...

It'll be nice to see pte boats berthed there I guess but I certainly won't be getting, got no money. I'm more interested in hanging out at the waterfront cafes, or better still, watering holes for a beer at sundown, if these happen!

What is mata boat doing there? Truly gated and guarded ...both ends! Lol!
