    HSR and RTS Discussion

    Read all my posts on the proposed SIN/KL HSR and the Woodlands/JB RTS line, I had be extremely skeptical on the fruition of this 2 projects. Now for sure, everything will be shelved and nothing much will happen at least in the next 2 years. The new MY govt. will be very busy trying to fulfil...

    HSR and RTS Discussion

    The development of TRX City is now a gone case, so no more KL terminal for the HSR. The new Malaysian government now insist that the proposed HSR project be seriously scrutinized and studied and also to be renegotiated with SG over the previous agreements. Can throw all those MOUs signed into...

    Passed by the Greenland development in Danga Bay several times in different month this year and noticed that the construction is not progressing much. Massive rust stains from steel reinforcement on concrete surfaces all over are tell-tale signs that work progress is stalling.

    With the new State and Federal government after the GE14, new policies will be implemented. Dr M had way earlier sounded out about the massive Chinese development in JB and not exactly in a positive way. So, seriously look out for announcements, they may or may not have any impact to your...

    DHL to build Global Center of Excellence in Iskandar Malaysia

    Why JB was chosen for logistic centre is because of cheap land to build huge storage warehouse but most important factor is the close proximity to the a major international aviation hub, Singapore. That's why they chose JB and not KL! These days, efficient logistic centre uses smart machine...

    Princess Cove R&F

    Without a new customer base, the new mall will just cannibalize other existing malls. When I say new customer base, I'm talking about another few hundred thousand new customers to support all the new mega malls - Paradigm (just opened) and opening soon, Princess Cove, Country Garden, Capital...

    We all know that car theft is extremely rampant in JB, the question is just where and when. Someone I know had his car wheels, tyres plus sports rims, removed and stolen in the afternoon!

    It also depends on how often you need to drive around JB and the distances. Also, whether you are staying in a gated & guarded residence otherwise, you may not find your car, especially a new one, the next morning. You also noticed that most suburb carparks now already started paid parking...

    Don't mention. Actually, if you don't move around a lot in JB, now with Uber and Grab, they can pick you up from anywhere and you can also go anywhere in JB. The fare is quite reasonable and it may be much cheaper than keeping a car. Unlike before when the taxi service is totally hopeless.

    The VEP is not in force yet so there's no problem driving your SG car into JB now. But once the VEP is enforced, your car must have the VEP disc attached on the windscreen otherwise your car will be denied entry. So in the meantime better do the necessary first and do the application. Many...

    You still don't fully understand the whole VEP issue at all. I'd already explained in detail the nature of the VEP and how it works, go read again carefully. The VEP issue was already reported in the press way back in Oct 2017 - Datuk Seri Liow said foreign vehicle owners paying the VEP would...

    The main concern is actually the VEP disc which has to be attached on the car windscreen. The disc is embedded with a RFID tag containing all the details of the car and car owner and this data later got compromised! And yes, once the disc is attached on the car, the moment you drives through the...

    New developments to share

    In reality, it is not the Chinese home buyers suddenly short of cash. It was due to the sudden tightening of the Capital Control in China that made taking out money to finance the purchases difficult if not impossible. Since the tightening of the Capital Control, China Foreign Reserves had : *...

    The VEP which was supposed to be implemented late last year was postponed without a date due to some technical teething problems. However, it will be implemented sooner or later because the takings will go towards the Fed and MY needs the money badly. Some people there are not concerned about...

    Singapore side had already announced the corresponding adjustment on the toll from 01 Feb 2018. But all these savings may be short-lived once MY implements the VEP. https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/toll-charges-reduced-woodlands-checkpoint-feb-1-match-malaysia
