Re: Where is Home? LOL! Speaking of your skeptic wife, I had a hostile wife who was fiercely against the idea of moving to JB when it was first mooted. Now she is an evangelist for JB. :D And I can share your point about spending "more" in JB, now we eat more and watch movies more because of...

Re: Where is Home? Thanks Ikani for your informative postings and personal sharing! Thumbs up!:)

Thanks for sharing with us your new found joy of life in Johor. So you are staying in Kluang or Kulai area? Mind sharing where you are living? All the best and have a blessed Christmas!

Just saw on google maps that Waze users reported an accident on the EDL around the spot where I saw the errant car...hope this is not what I feared would happen.

Just cleared JB customs about 25min ago and got on the EDL when shortly after a few hundred metres I saw on the other side of the highway a small car with two men driving against the flow of traffic heading towards the checkpoint. What in the world is happening that within a couple of days we...

It is already Dec and 2016 is coming to a close, but looks like ICA's "promise" of all automated clearance lanes for motorbikes will not be delivered. Jams are just as bad for bikes, if not worst. Duh... http://www.therakyatpost.com/news/2016/04/07/singapore-causeway-will-not-be-replaced/

I believe the historical and social links between Malaysia, JB and SG are such that the prosperity of both countries, esp Iskandar, will be quite interlinked and correlated. It is indeed heartening to see some strong signals being sent by the two PMs in such a high level meeting, esp for those...

In my view, the RTS is not really a huge and complex project, like the HSR, so it should be easier to get it on track and running.:) Besides, according to LHL, the major point has been resolved and he spoke of WHEN the RTS is completed, not a matter of IF completed. Looks pretty firmed to me, at...

Wah...wait until signed already prices may have gone up much more and the condo project that one has been eyeing for would be taken up liao. In my view, things are chugging (pun intended) along. More news may be out in the coming months on the RTS. I think it's quite exciting! Or maybe I'm just...

Some people living in SG are already taking more than 90 min to get to work, so maybe for some KL folks it could be faster or take about the same to travel 350km to work in SG.:p

Sorry I don't head that way in the morning so I don't know what causes the bike jams over there. But I do know what causes the bike jam at Woodlands checkpoint entering SG in the morning; the incompetence of ICA and Aetos in managing the bikes coming through. Just this morning there was a huge...

Closer to date of signing by both countries maybe we will start seeing JB property market heating up?

It is a good sign that the leaders of both countries are talking about the RTS. When they sign on the dotted line in due time, maybe we also see many more people signing on the dotted lines to buy completed condo projects in JB. A sign of good things to come?:D

I hope you have had a good time in JB, and wish you all the best for next phase of life back in SG!

Was at Marina Square a few days ago...changing at 3.18.

Today Great World City shopping mall MC rate is 3.15!

I mean it is mean spirited to wish a complete stranger bad, even if it is done openly.

The RC is for foreign vehicles so MY registered cars are not affected. So looks like MY minister not so dumb as you make him out to be.

Slowly remit the money out rather than lump sum, would solve this problem?

Most people would have bought in 2013 (notoriously known as the herd mentality folks ;)) and took up 80% loans over a 15-20 years period or so, especially for peasant folks like me. So quite unlikely that the properties would have been paid off substantially and thus did not incur the full...
