In Singapore, the standard is to use land psf for land type and built up psf for strata type eg. Cluster houses. That said, when you use land psf, make sure you do a CMA base on similar built up eg. Same number of stories.
This makes perfect sense as you own that piece of land parcel when a property is land type. For strata type, you own a share value of the common land. The share value is determined by your built up and is important when there is a collective sale to determine how much of "land" you actually own.
In Malaysia, The Straits View Residences is the first strata landed project in JB. PSF should be based on built up, although the standards has not been established in this part of he world yet.
With Hilux, one can drive to forest to pick durians or the beach to catch some fish...
In Singapore, 4 door pick up truck will kill us on the diesel tax.. It is about 4 times the tax on passenger car, assuming you are driving a 3l car.. So who will buy in Singapore, might as well get a BMW...
Ha, I am determined to get one.. Once I moved in..

Sorry Bro. Only 2 service centers, one in KL and other in Singapore. If you've got major problem...... that's 1/2 million Ringgit burn bro!! Was interested in getting Toyota Prado or Land Cruiser BUT NOT available in Malaysia!! Those are big babies which gives you the 'willies' when you see them coming up fast in your rear view mirror
Hi Toyohon, so is Mitsubishi Triton also among the top in the target list? I thought getting a truck in Johor can firstly act poor(as compared to other luxury make and models) and secondly being big, tough and rugged. Didn't know that Hilux is one of the top targeted ride for car thieves.
hi crystal, I think your concern of being too near a mosque is a valid point to discuss about. unlike Singapore, the volume will not be turned down & the frequency to call to prayers per day can be more than twice.
Interestingly however the property can appreciate. My father's malaysian chinese friend actually experienced this in Taman Tun in KL when they built a mosque near his house. He sold for much more than expected because there are muslims who would actually like to be near a mosque. a caveat is you limit the pool of potential buyers.
but you do get used to the sound as I did when I stayed near a highway once.
anyway consider carefully . .. all the best

hi maxpark, for me, I asked the salesperson what is the built-up and then I divide by that.
But mine was easy as it is an intermediate terrace. Investor is right if you have more land like Semi-D, corner lot etc...

PTP is legacy of the old days but they cannot dismantle since Maersk went with it, so have to make the best of it. We remember also from that era Tg Pagar station right thru the heart of Singapore .... Sleep easy, no worries about JB trying to compete with Singapore. No fight. Symbiosis is the best way for all.
Toyota Hilux is sold in SG but is very expensive especially for the twin cab version. It is not a Fortuner. The Fortuner is based on the Hilux platform.
Hilux - pickup
Fortuner - SUV
If one is thinking of getting a Hilux or Triton as a vehicle in MY as it will be safe, I think they are just as prone to theft as these 2 are the top selling pick-ups in MY. Still best to be more careful of where you park, keep valuables out of sight and keep a low profile.
I am also thinking of getting one to move around as diesel prices in MY are very reasonable and the fuel consumption of these turbo diesels are fantastic with their high torque levels. However, they are rather noisy and the interior plus ride quality is not like normal sedans so it is best to test drive before committing. Also, parking will be a hassle as these vehicles are huge!

Correct. PTP is actually not fairing that well compared to PG. This is the main problem I have with investing in MY. It may sound very rosy in the beginning but it always seems to peter out after some time. That being said, Nusajaya seems to be coming along nicely for now which could be due to the foreign investment pouring in (especially from SG) but the political scene must remain stable else whatever that is happening can/will disappear very quickly. Best to temper expectations with a healthy dose of reality and logicality.
2bFree answered - yes, so long as the model is popular and a top seller, you can be assured of demand, both legally and illegally.
personally, I dont think this is the case. I saw their show unit are very nicely done. I did see other show units, but I still prefer KSL work. I also saw their unit at Kempas Height, its work quality are good.
this is my opinion based upon the show units, and compared it with show units of othere development.
Hi Bros & Sistas,
I've some query regarding using TT or remit from the money changer...
Is there a limit set for daily transaction if the account is a foreigner?
How about if the account is meant for paying mortage?
Heard Bank Negara has set such criteria on foreigners' account... it's not helpful especially we need to carry cold hard cash ard and limit to RM10K/day.
Recently been bogged by backing issues over this matter? Need some expert help and advice...
Anyone has got a relaible money changer that can help resolve my problem...
Thanks ahead ... getting a little upsad...:(

No headache at all, just a bit of effort that's all. To answer your question, yes there is a RM10k limit on deposit per day into account under foreigner's name(even mortgage acc.)
1) If you want very good exchange rate for TT, go to Parkway Parade's Sino Moneychanger Pte Ltd. Another 2 reliable ones in Parkway are Everpeace Money Changer Pte Ltd and Yakadir Pte Ltd. All 3 are on level 1.
2) But because of the daily limit(and you might not be staying near Parkway), a more convenient way is to open an account with MoneyWorld Asia Pte Ltd. Their website is http://www.moneyworld.com.sg With an account, you don't need to go all the way to their office daily to make payment, just go to the nearest ATM machine and deposit the amount you want to TT into their company's account and contact them.
3) Someone here suggested before that raffles1.sg gives better rate than Moneyworld Asia but I'm not sure whether you can deposit into their bank acc. thru ATM like Money World.
All above are reliable companies.
Wow thanks for the info sharing guys. Any suggestion from anyone in the forum of a ride which is big, strong and rugged but don't look expensive? I don't want to be a target of the thugs. Don't forget that we'll be driving in and out of one of the most expensive housing developments in the whole of Johor. Keeping a low profile is the way to go I think.
