Hi RedsYNWA,
welcome. I was condering if you could help me. I have been wanting to run my car on the EDL but not sure how to get on it. When coming from Causeway, along Jalan Tebrau, where to turn to get onto the EDL? Is before Jusco Tebrau ?
Hi idaman,
Although this thread is about living in jb,
i will share with you that I was also thinking of this reit but I hesitate because >50% of suntec reit is invested in office spaces. We know where that is heading... if it goes too far south, the rental rates likely to be revised downwards and it means less dividends and less yields. My bigger worry is that since they were renovating & also building the MBFC, etc and then Europe started going sour, this reit might make a cash call on its investors... double whammy
you know, we always say keep bullets dry and go in when market turns south. But when we are in the gloomy environment, our jobs becomes less secure and we turn attention to our own job insecurities instead and then avoid making such capital expenditure as buying a house or even invest in the stockmarket.
I am your typical joe, always going "only if"....... :(
one exception is I sleep well with my investment in HH, done earlier because my intention is not for rental income but for retirement own use.

Thanks for the information.
Meaning that if i would to put 12k sing dollars with the remittance company, they would remit probably 10k for day 1 and 2k for day 2?..
So if they would to do that, would i incurred paying 2 times the administrative fee as well?..
no idea how the money changer / remittance works.
Therefore, who ever bought a house in JB and pay for it can enlighten me?
Thank you very much!!!
Bro. Another possibility is to 'buy' a ringgit cheque from one of the bros here.
i.e. you hand a cheque for SGD36K+ to the bro. Once cleared. The bro hands over RM86K+ cheque to you. The conversion rate will be based on bank's TT rate on that day. Must trust the bro la. Then give the bro a small token say $50 for the effort..
Any honest bro here with loads of RM willing to help?..haha.
too bad!..i just honest nia. no RM..haha.
seriously bro,...for me i use CIMB Singare link to CIMB Malaysia for all my transfers. Although their rates is not that fantastic, still acceptable. Also can check their rates online which is constantly updated. Everyday can trans online before 9pm. you can trans up to RM40K one shot (own and 3rd party).....Free some more. If need the monies, can trans back. RM10 nia if trans back from M'sia to Sing.
Sorry bros if i sound like i from CIMB..haha.
cheers.
If u reduce your "token" to 15 bucks, bro lglab might consider doing business with you haha ... He gotta pay 20 bucks for 2 remittances, so if u want business, 15 bucks is the way to go :p living and doing business in JB, new trend emerges 
lol
lolHSBC premier is better. No fees whatsoever if u transfer from a premier to another premier account any part in the world!
It's MYR10k per day, not SGD10k.
Yes, 1st day MYR10k, 2nd day MYR10k and so on.
No it's still free if I'm not wrong for amount above SGD10k(for the money changers in Parkway). They earn the profit from the exchange rate I guess. Maybe you can call them to check.

A question on renting out:
Must we go through a property agent? Anyone has done rental by themselves?
Thinking whether can save on agent fees. A colleague of mine said he advertised himself, and got a tenant.
But we'll need guidance on how to draw up tenancy agreement.
I also heard we will be taxed 26% on rental income, for stamped tenancy agreements. So if you can go unstamped, it will be to your benefit.
But usually for corporate rentals, they will need to get it stamped, so cannot "siam". But corporate also more reliable when it comes to payment, less chance of delay or default.

Aiyo bro, u asked like that.. everyone will said i am not free la. If he/she does it then that means he is always very free lor.
some posts u can just ignore .... some ppl still wan to be spoon feed , we are all trying to categorise it liao ....
some just come n take info and never share info ... aiyoyo !!!
actually a lot of professional info can be obtained from the professionals themselves (bankers, agents, sales, lawyers, taxman). I find it better to consult them directly sometimes because they have all the updated information and different companies may operate differently. A bank's policy may change frequently as do their service. Not that I think everyone has time to visit the bank or law firm frequently, but I think once you have decided to commit a sum of money, it is your responsibility to consult whoever is in charge of the service. A simple email or call can make all the difference.
as with procedures, facts and figures, opinions may become outdated too. For example if we think a bank's service is not up to standard, or a particular development is not good in the past when we discussed, it might be different now.

I think what LGlab meant was to find specific posts, quote the post and repost it under a new topic.
