i thought about this before and thats why i like to retire in JB...its a good springboard for more action in the whole of M'sia. Booking local tours from JB is definitely much cheaper than doing it in sing...
action -
clear water offshore islands
genting highlands
theme parks/shopping
national parks, various mountains etc....list is endless..
and when you need some peace and quiet, there is huge space in your house and garden to simply laze around or focus on religion..
forgive me but i think sometimes the zoo animals are so comfortable in their small cages, they fail to realise the true paradise outside.
cheers.
Got, there are those who they hated and didn't love at all.
1. He still bought them houses and smiled when other neighbours thought that it was them who gave houses to him.
2. He just smiled when a relative said, you are lucky as your dad loves you so much, he must have seen you through to
university unlike my two sons whose dad just beats them up and never sent them to university.
3. He didn't say a word when his younger sister told him that he doesn't have a future after 30 years of age and should give up his
chance of furthering his studies so that she could. He continued to support the family while this sister goes after degree after
degree yet complains no one supports her and she has to study and work full time.
4. He took his parents to more than 6 countries so far including US and Korea
5. He paid 90% of all his fathers debts. Redeemed all the things that were taken away, before he upgraded his tv set, got his dads house a 50" one
6. Lions share of his dad and mum's household bills. 100% of utilities, phone and petrol all bourne by him.
7. He went to find his ancestors grave, hired men to clear the forest and renovated the grave. Only his younger sister chipped in.
8. He still pays the most out of every single trip to the doctors, joss stick shop and shopping plus pays the bulk of every big and small expenses that are related to relatives and extended family.
9. He brought his grandma and extended family out almost every week for 2 years straight. Most of the meals and expenses paid by him.
Despite all this, the dad remarked to his son's staff recently, i thought my son would never amount to anything as he is too softhearted,
hence i didn't groom him, i still hope my 2 daughters will be more successful as they are way smarter than him.
Despite hearing that, the son still took the dad and family for a holiday recently and still planning for another one as he had promised his
mum he will take her to Japan. He still remembers that promise.
This is not being fillial, this is doing the duty as a son and as a only son, thats what he must deliver.

But the one they discarded, the one they didn't love. The one they gave stale coffee too and rice to eat on the floor.
He might still grow up and loving them even to the extent of quarrelling with his wife when he put a 2nd house name
under them.
I know how it feels :( that's life. But truly, GOD will bless this lots!
Bro Wuqi
I think the current whole world only 1 u who is still fillial and doing as a duty as child despite being treated that way ....
Reminds me of a section in "Di Zi Gui"
"When our parents love us, it’s easy to be good to our parents"
"When our parents detest us, then it’s truly virtuous to be good to parents"

I did something mean last time, though i apologised, i still felt bad towards my dad.
When he saw on news how some kids were ill treated and tortured by their parents, he said:
"Since they don't love the kids, how come give birth to them"
"Since they are born to you, you must treat them well"
I turned to him and said, "I shouldn't have been born then."
This is just something that I wanted to share with all those lurking in the background of the forum looking for information or reasons to living in JB. If you are still contemplating, my advice is to please don’t analyse until paralysed. You will never be able to convince everyone no matter how hard you try – so stop trying already!
Do yourself a great favour by reading this thread from start to end – seriously! It took us 2 weeks to read the entire thread, luckily for us it was until page 389 at that time. It may take you longer, and why not, since you are about to make one of the biggest decision in your life. In the beginning you will have some writing to question the wisdom of living in JB. This is good as they help to clear our thinking. If after reading, you are still not convinced, then I will say that living in JB is not for you, move on.
If you like what you are reading so far about living in JB, then proceed to read for information on how to make the move and living in JB.
For us, we diligently copied and pasted every helpful bits of information that Wuqi and many others had posted onto a word file, often word for word. I am truly indebted to these pioneering people – salute! Topics they shared included the dos and don’ts, like,
Finding a reliable contractor,
Which bank to go with, and what’s the loan process like,
Great eating places (yummy!),
Where to get your lightings, aircon, and electricals from,
Best time to use the Causeway or 2nd Link, how they coped with school going children,
and countless other very relevant topics that affects our living in JB!
We find the people writing in this thread very civil and giving in their sharing (very unlike other threads), perhaps espousing the values and tone unknowingly set earlier by the thread starter. So, to those still lurking in the shadow of this thread, come forward and seek the answer you are looking for. Nobody is going to bite you haha and we can definitely learn from each other. There are many “kapo” (in a loving way) bros and sis’es here ever ready to help.
Thank you all, you have been instrumental in my decision to living in JB!

Bro ,
In the course of your recent house hunting , will you mind sharing what is your perception/ price trench of the various tamans that you being through ? Seem like there are still real gems to be found in the resales market ? Are the resales now on par with developer offering ? Look like house hunting in JB is getting tougher ? Thks for input , if any .
Yes, things are truly moving very fast! When I was hunting for my humble house in HH the adverts coming in were quoting prices higher and higher by the week. Each day I wake up praying that we will find our house this weekend. I also selfishly wished that people and the media will stop reporting and publishing on new developments thats going to happen around Iskandar area, haha. I am ashamed......
For those buying from sub-sale, we heed the advice of the people here - that is to CALL direct! dont email or sms as the agents are just too busy right now to respond. I am sure some of you had realised this already, you 've just got to CALL.
Forgive me....if I sound like a bull here, just trying to share my experience and be helpful.
just joking 
so you've only seen HH?
But buying resale have to absorb a lot of legal fees which add up could be quite expensive.
I heard from a bro, they went to a few places before deciding.
Very nice folks and certainly no agent as far as i heard.
Actually ...things are not moving that fast lah...i keep seeing the same advertisements on houses for sale . as far as i know...they are there for already half a year ...
Some of the guys don't bother to take down old adverts, some are overly priced (at least for now) and some are for rental actually when i called.
Been calling for friends and checking, best to go direct is my 2 cents worth be it developer or directly to owner.
Actually ...things are not moving that fast lah...i keep seeing the same advertisements on houses for sale . as far as i know...they are there for already half a year ...
I supect things in the resales are catching up sooner than we think . Just 6 months ago , no one will think of buying from the resales.
Yes it is, best still to get direct from developer unless you really like the particular development
