    [QUOTE=Grago;
    Come on guy/ girl ( directed at the house owner in case doesn't think it's meant for that person ) the suggestion made here on this forum is merely in JEST / JOKING lah.......at least that's how I've been reading it..... what's next...... bobby traps, electrical fencing....... Probably a gun or better machine gun. This is not the suburbs of South Africa or some forsaken hellhole. This is a somewhat civilized place with neighbors who I am very sure DO NOT appreciate this some what tackless display of unfounded phobia. I think this person should sell up and move back to where it's safe and doesn't have to worry if the "rustling noise outside the house" is someone trying to break into the house to rob him/her of their "MILLIONS....... (of hairs.....). I bet the neighbors are going to "love" this character WELCOME PLEASE DRAW MORE ATTENTION TO OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD........[/QUOTE]


    Yes i saw this as well with my relatives, we even swung by to the Fairways show flat carpark to get a closer look. IR sensors, motion activated lights as well as thin concertina wire. I think they just laid it very recently.
    Anyone who needs such things probably need to reconsider living over here. When you have too much of one thing, sometimes it leads to the opposite effect aka "Sign with: This place does not have 300 taels of silver"

    Seriously a bit over the top with this display. Looks like a house right out of a war zone during Vietnam war. Spoils the beauty of it, i would sell it off immediately if i don't feel safe living in a place like that where even the inner compound needs such reinforcement.

    Other ways of securing it:

    1. Electrifying all the fences and have back up gensets to power it in the event of a power trip but need to insulate IR sensors, etc first. Also need to add more sensors from the looks of it as well as UPS for lighting and spolights.
    2. ...................Deleted all in case kids are reading.


    This place should then be safe (at least for a while) from these type of DAILY common threats in Johore:

    Hi Grago, they don't have laser yet, only IR.

    Lasers are mainly good for indoors but can be used for outdoors as well.

    If i may, the laying of the concertina is abit wrong as well and laid by inexperienced contractor, its not properly anchored and the type use is too soft and thin.

    There are also more than a few places that are more than inadequate but for the sake of the owner, i will not go much further.

    So kiasu, kiasee... hope the owner is not singaporean.. The negative effect is like giving the singaporeans a slap in the face, confirming the general impression that we are very kiasu.. I am pretty sure most of us are not like that..

    Thanks.

    Yesterday went to the Persada JB fair. Very interesting. But like most fairs, limited units for terraces unites available. Saw some at Mount Austin. Beautiful location. But units are either facing west sun, power station or behind rows of noisy outlets.

    Saw that too. But they dont have any terraces for sale.

    Understand threashold be increased to 800K to 1Million. Reason is to prevent foreigners buying cheap properties. But only 20% are allocated to foreigners. As it is, especially Iskander area, how many msians could afford properties close to M$1 million?

    I did not know whether to laugh or cry when I first saw it. After getting to the Clubhouse, I got annoyed thinking what about the two neighbours on either side of that "fortress".... How will they feel seeing that paranoia being manifested in that unsightly attempt at "securing" the house.......

    I would not be surprise if the owner decides to follow your "suggestion" Bro Wuqi...... Maybe the owner read to much of our chat and thought we were "serious", so cannot blame him......!!!!!!

    Visited Dato Onn today and used the EDL, pretty fast and jam free. Happy with the hiway now but not sure how much would it cost later!
    Went to enquire about houses there as a fren was interested in semiD.. Thot they still hv a lot the last I was there, unfortunately looks like it's sold out now, except for 1 last unit which is not so good coz it's near a tnb station or something...
    I could see the trend that more expensive houses are selling faster than those link houses! They still hv some link houses left but all the corners are sold out as well! Didn't realized it's selling this good. Phase 1 &2 all sold out...left are those in the 500k bracket.
    The sales lady says I am lucky coz I got mine at a very good price and they will be launching princint 12 by end of the year and prices are way way up!
    I hv a feeling those who are vested are ok and those on the fence better decide soon, according to the sales lady, the foreign limit is gonna up soon(not sure how true, guess there might be some truth, as everyone is talking about this).. Dun flame me, just sharing what the sales lady told me!
    But I can see those cheaper priced (300-400k) houses are all SOLD OUT in BDO! this is a surprise, even those facing "T" junction or TNB Station are taken up!
    I think bro wuqi is right prices are moving!!!
    Just sharing what I thot of the visit to BDO...

    My frens says epf is a political front if the MY Gov.. And when the G wants $$, they go to epf, just like the recent handout of 500 to the poor! this is to entice the voters to vote for them
    The other case is to provide loans to the ppl to buy houses, in the 1st place these ppl are not able to get loans from the banks for whatever reasons and the G ask the epf to step in so that they are able to fund the projects.. In other words funding their cronies and giving $$ to ppl who are not creditworthy! Both ways $$ down the drain!!

    His back fence is close to the outer perimeter and the drain alongside is in no man's land. Maybe that's why he worry. Nevertheless, short of a watchtower, the verboten Stalag look is complete.

    Great work, we have so many German neighbors these days so it's becoming quite common to hear but tanks and pillboxes are still too extreme.

    That was like really abit overkill, I would do that if I am forced to live in lands where technicals are what they called the Hilux trucks. Then again I will go the full stretch and just have nice reinforced concrete wall with all the electrifying done outside. Inside with reinforced HRA plates with spall liners,etc. Anti drill, anti cut doors with copper or tungsten core, etc.
