    I think I managed to pay Cukai Harta using Maybank Singapore Regionlink. So no need to open Maybank Malaysia account. If I remember correctly, there was this option available for my Maybank Singapore online banking, pay in SGD at the bank's conversion rate.

    Medini (Nusajaya) Community

    Didn't realise someone asked me a question here. Well, so here are my answers : Do I regret buying the place ? Of course I would be lying if I said if the thought never crossed my mind in the last 2 years, especially with so much negative sentiment swirling around Medini and Malaysian...

    Medini (Nusajaya) Community

    I have a small unit at 1 Medini but don't intend to move in even though its fully furnished and renovated already. Rental is too low plus it incurs income tax and is not worth the trouble in my view. So am keeping it as a weekend retreat for family. Getting a cheap Malaysian plate car to keep...

    All about cars in Malaysia

    I am looking for a cheap but reliable used car for use around JB on weekend visits. Something low profile and easy to maintain. Anyone looking to upgrade their existing car ? My budget is around RM10-15k, was looking at cars like Hyundai Matrix.

    Renovation to your homes

    Good advice from bros here. I have insisted that they re-tile the affected sections and they have started work. Luckily I managed to push back curtain installation - the dust generated by the hacking is unbelievable.

    Renovation to your homes

    Need some opinions here - are hollow wall tiles in the bathroom a big issue and should I get the developer to rectify ? It looks like at least 50% of the tiles are hollow, and the site supervisor says it is a big job to fix - he told me that its ok to just leave it as it is and that even if the...

    Renovation to your homes

    Has anyone fitted insect screens to their windows ? Can recommend an installer and advise approximately how much per sq ft for magnetic ones ? I suppose these are the best kind as they can be removed for cleaning easily. I think I need to get this done soon for a few windows that are usually...

    All about cars in Malaysia

    Just wondering if it is possible to buy a reasonable used car for RM8k-RM10k for occasional weekend use in JB ? Just need it not to break down often or require expensive repairs like a new transmission. I don't mind the 10 year old cars I see on Carslist and Mudah in this price range but most...

    Any other 1Medini owners lurking here ? :p Got my keys last month but the place still looks not 100% completed. OK, common facilities like the pool and gym are finished but the underground parking still looks inaccessible.

I just completed the details requested and did not upload the registration card, doesn't seem to be required to register. Anyway I presume they will ask to see the paper copy...

    Renovation to your homes

    Thanks for the advice. Guess it is going to be a lot harder to do renovations especially when I can only go over on occasional weekends.

    Renovation to your homes

    Hi to all, I have collected the keys to my little 1BR apartment in Medini and am thinking of what to do next. Not sure what my long term plans for this place are - probably I will just use it for an occasional getaway, so just intend to put in some basic renovations at this time. This is my...

    I am using HLB for my loan, the Financial Consultant assisting me has been pretty helpful so far. Even the counter staff was helpful, and came out from behind the counter to help me apply for internet banking and set up my ATM card. Was pleasantly surprised since my other Malaysian banking...

    I have signed for a small unit at One Medini, and am looking at financing options. So far, I have gotten some rates from UOB and HSBC (both attached to developer, and the consultants don't seem very interested to follow up) and also Hong Leong Bank. At the moment, HLB seems to be the most...
