Unlike the Sultan who says he is above politics, I must say that I am not even into politics! LOL! I am basically an idiot when it comes to knowing the politics of Singapore (it's just PAP all the way, PAP win all the way, ya?:p), not to say JB or Malaysia. But setting my ignorance aside, I...

Lunch time! Or maybe siesta time!:p

So long as cranes are moving, people are working, it is a good sign! :D

The MY Govt probably has its own objectives in setting minimum property prices that foreigners can buy. It's a matter of allocation, because who doesn't want to buy cheaper properties? Without these purchase restrictions then the "greedy" Singaporeans will "sup kah liao", one Singaporean perhaps...

I am not investment saavy so I don't know much about what happened back then. The little info I have gathered about the CLOB saga was that it was during the bloodbath of the Asian Financial Crisis, and the MY govt pulled out the brakes on this to stem capital flows out of the country, which left...

Thanks for sharing your insights into personal portfolio investing. Peasants like me have a looooooonnnngggg way to go! :p

Maybe the "tai-Kor" here like Tekkun or Xebay can share their answers to your question.:p

Properties generally appreciate over time, don't they? Of course there will be times when prices dip and there may be exceptions (or maybe to some JB will always be the exception LOL!) but generally speaking, the long term trend is that properties prices/values will go up. Maybe a question of...

True indeed. I was just sharing with my old classmate last Friday that as we enter our 40s our mortality looms large and being able to wake up alive every morning is already a blessing:) So maybe it is better to enjoy the moment while it is still today...so let's "eat drink and be merry for...

In my view, it really depends on the individual preference and objectives. I don't know about investing in other countries, but personally I feel that JB condos are affordable compared to Singapore, so if I really want to buy a condo property JB would be at the top of the choice. The entry bar...

I guess those were the long gone days ya...when it is probably easier/faster to pay off a $7K or $40K loan versus nowadays when we are talking about $400-$900K HDB flats, no need to even talk about semi-Ds. Really obscene profits can be made from those prices then! It's definitely harder to...

In the real world where there is much pain and suffering, upsets and unfortunate things, the hope for a better life is a good thing to cling on to. That's why pathetically hopeful peasants like me made the decision to take the risk to get out of the rut to hopefully better the overall life of...

Hopefully no one here is hoping that Johor will fail and hoping that those who have put in money into properties will lose them all. :p

Advice not applicable to married folks, but to investors still single.:D

Eh...Malaysian lah...does not always mean Malay.:eek:

Hmmm...in that case add one more strategy...get a Malaysian spouse!:p

Maybe the better strategy is to buy mid-end, mid-rise, and mid-density projects? :p

Very much so...LOL! Uhh...what makes you think I am being ungrateful to SG? :confused: Don't get me wrong. I love SG...clean and functioning...I walked the streets of Orchard Road last Friday night until almost midnight and still so happening with young people everywhere. In JB maybe only Taman...

Wah...brought up in 5000sqft house...jin ho mia leh!:) I was brought up in one room flat. Rich Dad vs Poor Dad.:p

Well, at least they tried mah! :rolleyes: If they did not try to emulate Singapore, people also keep comparing between MY and SG and say MY lag far behind and should at least try to copy SG. Yet when MY try to copy but not as successful (whether due to poor governance or bad governance) people...
