Your friend definitely needs a car to move around in Malaysia, so it makes sense to buy one and a RM 20k budget will get a decent one. If he needs to move around in Singapore, drive to JB and park the car and get over to Singapore via taxi etc. In Singapore, it is more convenient to use public...

I concur. With the MY Government flipping policies to suit their convenience, I cannot see why we should play by their rules.

The message is, we are not welcome into their country.

HONG KONG: Country Garden Holdings, whose Forest City project in Malaysia is the biggest overseas project by a Chinese property developer, said it will refund money to mainland investors caught up in Beijing’s escalating crackdown on capital outflows. The move is the latest consequence arising...

You should go ahead, i assumed you have been planning this for a long time. If others can do it, why can't you? Just Do It, NIKE :)

This is the way to calculate the "Breakeven" point of your initial entry rate. Knowing a breakeven point will allow you to know if you are making or losing on your investments. The buying and selling rates are quoted by the banks, money changers after arriving at the breakeven point.

To get your breakeven point after 1 year: RM 60,944 / SGD 20,420 = 2.9845 (SGD/RM exchange rate, break even point). Anything lower you make, anything higher you lose out.:)

Expert Series with Khalil Adis: Iskandar, still attractive or totally negative? Not too long ago, there were many Iskandar believers. In fact it became so hot that the big developers from China were launching number of units in the thousands. Well, these days, it does seem that these...

It will be a good idea to start planning today to make the move over. It appears from your threads that you have the financial means and abilities to do so. With the current 'favorable exchange rate and attractive FD rate' in Malaysia, the timing now couldn't be better to uproot and move over to...

Good news for renters, not so much for buyers (The STAR online, 1 Nov 2015) http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2015/11/01/Good-news-for-renters-no-so-much-for-buyers/

I agree, change to RM up to the amount you need for expenses etc. There are too many factors pointing to a weaker ringgit ahead and not surprise to see it continue to slide lower against the SGD.

Thanks for sharing and heads up on DBS Remit and other information. Apart from the excellent exchange rate, it beats the convenience of having to go to the MC and most of all, having to bring the ringgit over the causeway. :) Let;s hope we can continue to enjoy the No Service Charge promo and...

Can you confirm if the amount credited to the account in Ringgit is exactly the amount you remitted using DBS Remit? ie will the bank in Malaysia deduct any fee before crediting the funds? Thanks

I agree. To put it simply, anyone looking to invest in Malaysia, be it in equities or properties the question is "What's the rush?". With commodities and in particular oil prices falling, a weakening ringgit, coupled with the current political situation, I don't for see any form of a 'V-shaped'...

I concur with many of your points raised. To get a head start with regards to purchasing properties in Malaysia, one must be prepared to ''lose first''; any future gains from an appreciation in the value of the property and or on the exchange rates is, in my opinion an ''additional'' bonus. Best...

I too, won't be surprised if it goes beyond 2.80 & above. Some people love reading newspapers' headlines and start forming their expert opinions, like going back to 2.50 :)

I agree. Sometimes I wonder what they get by saying such things? RM 20 VEP too low, must raise to discourage drivers from Jamming up the causeway. I can only think of the word 'How Lian and Selfish''
