Premium outlets opening in another 2-3 weeks time probably will bring some publicity even though its quite out of the Kota Iskandar area ( in Kulaijaya )

    Therefore opening of the many universities etc in Nusajaya will just be secondary.. I still believe the real big thing is the Legoland. Long time ago when I heard they are building Legoland, I tot its just a place where kids can build using blocks or bricks in a showroom, thats all.. dint really expect all these fun thrilling rides to be part of the game. Forgive me but when I was young, I seriously dont have much toys to play with. Lego is just a fantasy which I have never touched before..

    Legoland is not only going to attract Sporeans and spore-based expats every other weekends. Imagine the millions of Malaysians from KL, Melaka, Kuantan, Sarawak/Sabah, Brunei and even Thais who will descend upon this major attraction in Malaysia. There isnt any other major theme parks the size and fame of Legoland in South-east Asia besides RWS and MBS.

    One thing that one of my foreign workers told me just yesterday ( even foreign worker can tell me this! )

    - "if malaysia open legoland and the ticket price is rm70+ - rm100+, people will come to Malaysia to play and bypass RWS/MBS because the spore companies charge S$70 ( RM 160 ) per entry.

    I am just worried that the traffic to and from 2nd link will be packed and custom jams will be the norm even when one pay S$20 a day for tolls.
    Legoland and JPO, yes, definitely will bring publicity. Lets not forget the importance of Marlborough College as a catalyst.

    The top schools in Singapore, such as UWC and SAS are running full. I have friends colleagues who send their kids to 2nd tier private schools and are not happy with the quality of education, while paying almost the same amount of fees.

    Marlborough College already has great reputation. The 90 acre campus with world class facilities will be unique in the region. I am sure it will draw some families with children to move to closeby developments, such as HH, EL, PH etc. We have already seen one case of the British gentleman who committed to the most expensive penthouse in Imperia and send his sons to Marlborough. I am sure there are more to come.

    Great suggestion from investjb which is to state our nationality, I've stated mine too. I further suggest Malaysians like investjb to specify the state in which you're from as it's good to see Malaysians from states like eg KL, Malacca, Penang etc in future.
    I've added my nationality too.

    Does anyone know when the ad valorem stamp duty on the purchase of a house is payable?

    I bought my house in HH directly from Gamuda Land in May, and signed the Sale & Purchase Agreement in August this year. The S&P has been stamped already for a nominal amount, but I'm just wondering when the big amount of stamp fees is payable. I asked the developer's lawyers, but they never replied.

    Is is payable when the separate title is issued for the house? After the house is completed, how long does it take for the separate title to be issued and transferred by the developer to your name?

    Forumers who have gone through the whole process of buying directly from the developer, waiting for the house to be constructed, then for the title to be transferred to their names - would appreciate your advice.

    It is going to be a little bad but they are already looking into infrastructure options. Once the full extent of the plan (with foreign support) is out, it will get busier.

    Earlier on, when i choose HH, it was based on the "internal i can change easily, external i can't do much about" theory. It still holds true today.
    There are really lots of choice developments around, there are many like it but this home is mine.

Hope the Management can nip it in the bud and hope the houses can be sensitive to the religous professions of others and not start such expressions.

    I like it that Malaysia is really a land of great tolerance and racial harmony, no matter what the media sensationalise otherwise.
    Nothing to envy bro, we can do it, you can do it. We are all made of the same stuff ultimately.
    Just like fingers long or short, thick or thin. They are still part of the hand.

    Just set a goal and go for it. The SAS saying, "Who dares wins" always hold true for me.

    I am not here to tell you whether you will succeed or fail.
    Realise this, what is stopping you in this world are not naysayers.
    They are just part of your final decision making process.

    The only person who can stop you, is you.

    The faster we could recogise that, the faster we can succeed in
    whatever we want to do.


    I must agree on the cross thing, next thing you know a swastika, star of david or a crescent comes up. Why bring religion in a place you want to relax? We have too much of that in this world.

    The best sign that would make me laugh is if someone puts a S + 11 sign on their roof. Money changer!!

    SINGAPORE - A highly decomposed body of a man was found at Pandan Reservoir this morning, reported the Lianhe Wanbao.

    The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) received a call at about 9.10am informing them that a body had been found in the reservoir.

    Officers got to the scene and pronounced the man dead at about 9.17am.

    According to the Chinese daily, the man has been identified as a 30-year-old Chinese national.

    His body was highly decomposed and is believed to have been undiscovered for several days.

    He was found floating face-down by a PUB staff who was conducting checks around the area.

    The deceased was wearing an orange coloured T-shirt and jeans.

    Police are still investigating the case. Members of the public who have any information that can assist the police should call 1800-2550000 .

    This is the most recent case in a spate of deaths discovered at Bedok Reservoir.

    Six bodies have been recovered since June this year, the last being the body of a Chinese man found on Nov 5.

    Another one bites the dust, RIP. Now, no reservoir is safe it seems.
    I know the one in Khatib had several deaths too in the past.

    Lego land and RWS/MBS - not the same lah

    Try comparing Disneyland in HK and Disneyland in LA or Tokyo ...

    Reservoirs in SG are still safe lah... i remember walking along Henderson Bridge and MT Faber reserve past midnight ...and feel really safe ... still got so many people around ....don't think anyone will do that in JB parks ...unless they are going around to check if the security guards are 'eating snakes'.

    I do not mind houses putting a cross or any other religious logos hanging outside their house or roof. I feel that its a religious freedom. However I must say the particular family in Gateway has
    "overdone" it. The cross is simply over-sized and even though its not offensive, it may turn off potential investors or pious muslims etc esp the bumis. I know for sure Spore malays wont mind as we are quite open about it.

    Maybe we can hear from some in-house bumis such as Botak Seri and their candid assessment. If Botak can accept, I am sure the rest should be ok. But I myself think that the size should be reduced by 80%.

    Just set a goal and go for it. The SAS saying, "Who dares wins" always hold true for me.

    I am not here to tell you whether you will succeed or fail.
    Realise this, what is stopping you in this world are not naysayers.
    They are just part of your final decision making process.

    The only person who can stop you, is you.

    The faster we could recogise that, the faster we can succeed in
    whatever we want to do.


    I must agree on the cross thing, next thing you know a swastika, star of david or a crescent comes up. Why bring religion in a place you want to relax? We have too much of that in this world.

    The best sign that would make me laugh is if someone puts a S + 11 sign on their roof. Money changer!!

    So are you residing here in JB presently or you're just buying properties in JB for investment?
    If you're only investing in JB and still residing in Sarawak, what made you come here for property investments?

    Best regards.

    A multi billionaire did just buy into Iskandar with the Johor royal family a couple of weeks ago in a multibillion sort of way => Peter Lim. Maybe he will lobby for the tunnel to be built to link to Changi as well.

    I love these endless possibilities....

    by the way do you live in JB already?
    haha bro i was just trying to be polite, act humble and not sound too full of myself I know there are many bros and sisters here who are capable of doing it.

    The list is really great. I thought most of us here are Singaporeans. So surprise to see quite a few Malaysians (as far as Sarawak) and Indian Sg PR IskandarRocks (I thought he is Singaporean too) I'm happy to get to know all of you.

    how true....

    I do envy people like you. Young and already owning so many properties in Nusajaya. If I had total way with my finances, I will be quite into it as well but slowly it is happening as wifey coming around to it. Thats good, it means many more people will be warming to it. Already sheand me are excited by the Outlet Mall and kid cant wait for Legoland. The house will be a natural extension of these excitement. Cant wait to take possession and enjoy the house and discover JB.

    I have never watched a more exciting Malaysia golf match on TV over the weekend. Only because of the really nice houses blending in well with these golf stars.


    But I must confess I did not like one house I saw from the roadside in Gateway near the roundabout, as I drove into HH last night.... there is a house with a big red neon cross. I am not religous or anything but it will only encourage someone else to do same with a green neon crescent and then a whole array of religous signs will pop up. .. Hope the Management can nip it in the bud and hope the houses can be sensitive to the religous professions of others and not start such expressions.

    I like it that Malaysia is really a land of great tolerance and racial harmony, no matter what the media sensationalise otherwise.
    Contra brother, I'm not very good at expressing my thoughts, but I think I am just average as there are many out there who are doing much much more awesome. I know because I have personally met this guy who is not yet 30 but owns more than 20 properties. I know out of the few brothers you mentioned, I am definitely just a beginner compared to them. I definitely do not have many properties in Nusajaya, maybe unless if I buy gamuda shares
