The question is not about me but the buyers in the articles.Are you considering moving to Malaysia or JB?
you talk so much crap, are you vaccinated?Totally agree...can get an old apartment in Tokyo Ginza area for less than 150k sgd as properties in Japan work the other way round and depreciate...unless u r talking about owning a land bank or ahem "trust" if you can't write off that few 100k u invested and constantly thinking exchange rate how, can or cannot rent out how...than dont buy overseas property...low ses sinkie mindset as usual
They all wanted to save on legal fees by hiring developers lawyers instead of getting their own.What is the background of these buyers? Did you rent properties in malaysia for a number of years while doing due diligence on property market before making a purchase? purchase to stay there long term.
It's to save their country.Its never good to buy properties overseas.. as foreigners sure get potong first ...
I remember in the 90s Dr M just levy 100k RM per private property owned by foreigners during the Asian Financial Crisis

If you are patriotic & love your country .. you will never go to such a lousy place to buy a property![]()
not well educated. Well documented - they have a fucking certificate for everything but know the value of nothing.sinkies are well educated but kena conned.
sinkies cannot migrate there to be PR or citizen. Sinkie melayu pun cannot. sinkies can only get work permit or other types of long term visa or try their luck for overstaying.
Open your mouth and confirm you're stupid.
There's many Malay Singaporeans who have taken up Malaysian citizenship.
Only morons buy condos in johor. Sinkie peasants don't even understand what is owning land. Pigeonhole retardsI’ve been hearing some pretty hilarious (and sad) posts from Singaporeans who thought buying property in Johor Bahru was going to be a steal. They saw the prices, thought they were getting a massive bargain with Singapore prices as the benchmark, and didn’t bother checking the fine print. Fast forward a few years, and now they’re crying foul.
A lot didn’t realize the legal complexities when buying as a foreigner. Malaysia’s rules are different from Singapore’s, and some properties are outright off-limits for non-Malaysians. But of course, they didn’t bother doing their homework on that or engage an independent lawyer for that.
Then, there’s the whole maintenance side of things. They expected Singapore-style condo management, security, and amenities, only to find out that the standard in JB can be… let's say, less than stellar. Delayed repairs, poor management, and buildings not as well-maintained as they thought it would be.
Oh, and let’s not forget the market volatility. They thought they were buying in an "up-and-coming" area, but the reality is that Johor’s property market is WAY more unpredictable than they imagined. Some are stuck with properties that are worth a fraction of what they paid, and now they can’t offload them either.
Cross-border issues are also a pain, managing a property in JB while living in Singapore is a logistical nightmare for most. Taxes, utilities, and all the paperwork... so many things that were just “too much to deal with” for some of these guys.
You got a liability, not a property since you're not even staying there.
Hey, they can rent places to stay. No need to buy. I suggest buying it only after you know your grounds like staying there ( renting) for a number of years and know the real estate market there.Only morons buy condos in johor. Sinkie peasants don't even understand what is owning land. Pigeonhole retards
