I’m A Young Singaporean Who Decided To Buy Property Overseas Instead, Here’s Why​

I have always dreamed of owning property before I turned 35. As someone huge on personal finance, it was a really big deal to get one of the biggest life purchases out of the way so I could start optimising my money for retirement and other investments.

This is considered a counter-intuitive mindset, where many financial advisors are adamant about investing to be the first step to stable finances in the long term.

“Oh, you’re doing it the opposite way.”, laughed many of my FIRE finance bro friends. Truth be told, I was quite doubtful of my gut feeling that investing was not the right strategy for me. The numbers are better, but trading stocks and ETFs was no longer bringing me the thrill or sense of fulfilment I adored when I first started.

..I was at this location a few times,..
The Metal brackets supporting this shelter looks badly corroded,.. soon, I won't be surprised when such structures shall collapse.
To others who visit this location,..Do observe the little details,..slanting pathway surfaces,..cracks that is believed to be hidden.

we are experiencing another media wave of hyping up the place, ex-Presi Candidate promoting his un-wise Purchases,...

Sad to see so many Naieve Singkies believing in these media Spin


The One positive aspect of this place is that there are groups of alcoholics who enjoy drinking Beer, Stout from 12 noon till late at night.
And at this Beach location, there are absolutely No Enforcement against any Free Human Spirits to be Really Naughty.


The Pollution from Tuas and Tg Bin nearby adds to the Flavour of this Location

Built by indon and Malaysian locals? You are dreaming. Malaysian are like Singaporeans don’t want dirty jobs so no their houses are NOT built by themselves but by foreigner construction workers in msia aka indon bangla Pakistan China people, all of which I came across before in my three jb properties.

Those restaurants and eateries in jb also all or mostly foreign workers. Of course lah Malaysians all want to come to spore to earn 3x, who want to stay behind to earn 1/3? Only those that can’t get work permit to work in spore. So naturally they hire foreign workers to do these jobs in jb instead.

But they are lucky their government or themselves don’t call them greedy or lazy for doing that.
