Haha, same issue with the garbage door, left open. Now I simply leave my bin near the edge of the road. They still open the bin door to check.
I like Mr DIY store at Tesco Bukit Indah and also at Tesco Tebrau.
Welcome Kentang and those who recently joined us as well. Hope that you will find the discussions here informative and useful.
Folks who are keen on Blue Ray/3D, quite a few shops in Bukit Indah are selling original ones for about 30 RM a piece. Not bad, the quality is good. Meanwhile, one electrical shop in Giant @ Bukit Indah seems to be selling their TVs at substantially much lower than other shops.
Bought a tv for my wife recently at Keck Seng (Nusa Bestari), thought we had a bargain then went to the shop there and saw a thousand ringgit difference. Same model, same freebies, same package and same country of manufacture and warranty(just in case) Now its really Keck Sim as wife was upset with me for paying more.

wow, then must check prices first before buying from K Seng.
Wow such a big difference. What size is d tv chief n brand if i may ask?
Everyone works hard for better quality of life, but there are things like 'luxury of space' which even many multi-millionaires in Sg can't afford to enjoy due to space constrain and sky-high prices in Sg. Personally, I'm glad that our neighbour Malaysia is creating a Iskandar Metropolis right beside Singapore. Iskandar offers everyone from Singapore, whether citizen or PR, a much higher standard of living while allowing us to continue making our bread and butter in Sg due to its close proximity(a hinterland for us).
Presently, S$3 million(RM7.5 million) can get you a newly completed terrace in AMK Ave 5(opposite an industrial estate where SeaGate is located). Yup, not a very good location and moreover, the environment right outside your own gate is far from nice. Even getting back home, or leaving home, is a problem when there is only one small lane left for cars going in both directions. And be prepared to fight for parking space with your neighbors everyday if you have 2 or 3 cars. See first 2 pics below(newly completed terraces at Seletar Green Walk).
Luckily for most of us in Singapore, below is the kind of living quality and space which many of us can get in Iskandar, for just S$400k(RM1 million) or less presently.
Note - All those cars above are not mine. Mine is a BMX bicycle

Yes I fully agree with you Whoami. When we go there once in a while for holiday, we feel that things are more affordable(because we compare to Sg). When we live there and spend more time at any particular place, we'll naturally 'fine tune' to their local prices(because we compare prices locally). So I fully agree that RM1 mil is very expensive 'locally'.
To think of the above in a positive way - It is the price comparison between Singapore and Iskandar that will bring success, growth and wealth to Iskandar Region. Without this comparison and feel of affordability, Iskandar won't be a hinterland to Singapore. People in IRDA know this too well and thus their targeted market is international instead of just 'local'
I see a lot of young Malaysians speak English when ordering McDonalds even though theperson manni the counter is a Malay. it seems that young Malaysians nowadays prefer picking up English the Melayu. sa
No ah, this has been the case when we patronise fast food restaurants. Unless its a Malay eatery (nasi padang) or if the staff isnt too familiar with English. Use of english may be less common among non Malay Malaysians who go to the Chinese schools.

A very good comparison Investor! This should speak volume of the quality of housing and life between the two lication. Thank you for sharing. Btw, which development is the bottom two pictures?
When to City Square and have a cake with my daughter.
RM1.20 chocolate cake.....that is not possible in Singapore.
It is a blessing to be close proximity with JB.

Hi Investor,
Great posting! It really brings out the value. Showed it to my wife, her jaw dropped. Your comparison was simply amazing.....
Didnt know how you did the enlarged picture which I know you shared that before. Perhaps you could post what one could have gotten with S$ 3mil !!
Cheers
