Don't like that leh, let them come lah. We must help fellow Singaporeans.
Those Singaporeans who are seriously hit by the crisis might plan to cut cost and look for cheaper house, car, food etc.
Johor might become a popular choice to these Singaporeans during crisis ah! With so much combined knowledge about Living in JB from these thread, we must help them
I went to the one at Bedok yesterday morning and they offered me RM244.3,
called Arcade to compare and they offered RM244.2,
another one in Woodlands only offered RM242.5,
JB Wong Ah Fook St displayed RM241.(They can give higher though)
This one at Bedok knows the rate which Arcade offer and highlighted that he can give equal to Arcade or higher if your amount is bigger.
Care to share the super good one which you've found?
Hi Contra, so far I've not tried remittance yet.
For those money changers who also do remittance, they'll give better rate for remittance compared to money change. I think there'll just be a charge of $10 or so.
I didn't use the remittance service because it'll take 3 days for remittance to a foreign bank in Malaysia(eg. UOB, Standard Chartered, HSBC etc).
It'll just take 1 day if you remit to their local banks like EON, Public, Maybank etc.
Moreover, I don't trust any money changer with say SGD 100k remittance in one go. If I split it up to 10 x SGD 10k each time and 3 days to confirm each deposit, that means 10 trips to the money changer and 30 days to complete the SGD 100k:*::*:
For Arcade, I use the service of Money Matters on the 2nd floor right at the end of the alley.
Thanks Investor
Yes i'm fussy, sometimes i wished i didn't know so much. dat's why it took me such a super long time to settle a place in HH. I basically choose the hills because of locaton and what the developer promised and also mainly because it's progressive payment. when i found out how the house look like, i breathe a hugh sigh of relief. why? because less problems for roof. the roof designs at the Hills meant that i have less problems, i'm prepared for problems, but i rather have a little less problem and think of a solution. I'm going to think of a way how to fix the back part of the house roof. though it's not built yet i'm only preparing myself for it.
I miss going there seeing the golf course and less concrete jungle.
... good to see your good intentions and no malice intended although easily misunderstood earlier... everyone got their own circumstances on where they buy where they did, so we respect that. Eg. when I started looking, I was budgeting around the Golf terraces but all sold out and so were the EL Phase 7 (subsale price was then above RM700k). Thus I bought into Hills as my preference has always been HH for the interesting varieties of terrain that ties in with the flow of the golf game (not sure if that is a 'qi' effect but it just felt right to me), and I like personal-defined space..
Had a quick look at the Facebook link. There seems to be a need to be concern about the quality of the construction and workmanship. No matter what the cost of the property is, attention should be paid to the quality of work!
