I empathize with parents who have to advise their children what to study. What we knew during our school days seem irrelevant to the ever changing present days. Happened to read a web page on local tertiary education,

It talks about local animation course, won't know if other fields hv similar problem.
Good news for everyone staying in Iskandar region.
Efforts to safeguard security a success 03 JUNE 2011 , BY THE STAR
Cooperation between the Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) and law enforcement agencies especially the police to safeguard public and investors security in Iskandar Malaysia was a roaring success.
IRDA chief executive Ismail Ibrahim said close cooperation between both parties helped reduce the crime index by 24% and street crime by 42% compared to last year.
“We have always acknowledged the fact that safety is of utmost importance and of our investors’ concern.
“In circumventing this issue, IRDA has worked hand-in-glove with the Royal Malaysia Police to ensure safety and security is continuously preserved,” he said.
Ismail added that efforts to boost public security also saw the police increasing its personnel in the special economic zone from 6,172 in 2007 to 9,115 this year.
To further cement the police presence in Iskandar Malaysia, Ismail said IRDA was awaiting the approval from the Police to recruit a battalion strength of 924 Auxiliary Police personnel.
The Auxiliary Police battalion, he said, would be deployed at critical infrastructure and catalytic projects within Iskandar Malaysia.
As part of the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) initiative to “flood” Iskandar Malaysia with policemen, the Johor police, he added, had launched 26 mobile beat bases to complement the additional 480 personnel provided by the e General Operations Force (GOF).
Since the economic corridor, which is twice the size of Singapore, was launched in 2006, it has managed to attract RM70 billion in investments.

Tot Dettol also Malaysia brand? my wife fav product.. haha
i wonder how does setia development precincts get their names all of them so fluid and colorful sounding yet non routine english names. yeh there is much supply in the nusajaya area and the developers are asking for a lot of money as well even though it is still cheaper than SG per sq ft basis.
However the name is only used during the sales document.. current address is just street name also..
Reminds me of BTO in Singapore where all fancyful names but after building, not stated anywhere (maps or directories)..
even taxi uncles dunno.. thats the diff to condos..
Sometimes i wonder why Setia prices its properties above premium.
I just dun get it. Despite all that.... its still well taken up and sold.
Now Horizon Hills from my observations is a wonderful development. How does Setia manage to price above HH and still walk away with the sale?

:*::*:You have committed already?
I wonder as well. I love their names.... Nice sounding leh.
Agreed so much suppy..... developers asking for the sky.... and still all sold out????:*::*::*::*:
Pray what are the factors driving the market/
Sometime back i had wanted to discuss market fundamentals hoping that the market is not driven by speculators which would therefore logically lead to a crash.

I wonder if they used a software to generate the names. i know pharmaceutical industries do to generate drug names =)
I also hear there is a certain speculative element too for these houses but are usually booked even before the house/precinct plan is drawn according to one of the sales rep in HH who will then flip them as they are launched. These people are usually foreigners (not SG) who markets the development to their own people back home. Though I suspect the majority who buys at launch are earnest owners or buying to generate rental income to diversify their portfolio. Still if the housing prices are maintaining its upwards momentum it may soon reach into the league of KL and Penang even though the supply-demand is skewed in comparison to the other 2.
