Yes, JB is too dangerous for Singaporeans. Best for Singaporeans to stay in a safe, secure and prosperous country. Why risk your life in as dangerous a place as South Africa, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Mexico? Let silly Singaporeans like me take the risk, while clever Singaporeans stay in SG!

Effectively connected by air, Yes. But effectively connected by rail and road? Anyway as you say, SG is just footing a small portion of the bill. Let the Malaysians figure out how to make the system viable, by cross subsidizing from their real estate developments.

I think there are a lot of options at S$2k psf, rather than LIV on wilkie...... Have to say 1.5k psf for Northpark is indeed way overpriced though, esp when compared to Brownstone EC just 1 stop away.......

People who are worried about crime always have a choice to stay put in SG lah. Australia isn't that safe as well. My rented car was broken into at Westfield Carousel's parking lot, just 100m from Carousel's main entrance on a busy Sat afternoon 3 pm. Similarly, you are not going to see a lot of...

Exceeded expectations except for the daily commute, I think! Haha.... yah I also never get it, when people keep asking why cant you rent in JB instead? How on earth am I going to be able to spend RM 200k to do up my dream house, if it's rented? A bare landed looks exactly just that, a bare...

The 3rd link should be to link Punggol and Pasir Gudang, and not Pengerang. Pegerang and Changi can be easily serviced by fast ferries, should the need arise, like HK-Macau.

RM will certainly rebound when oil price touches $70. But before that, it may dip further temporarily, when US raises interest rates in Dec or early next year.

I feel one should get SG FH or 999, only if you are going for landed. For SG condo investment, I feel location is far more impt than lease status, and this is often reflected in the pricing as well. My SG condo is 99 yr leasehold, easy to rent out, and more importantly, significantly lower...

Err we are talking about a Nissan Grand Livina, not a S500 or even a Toyota Estima here leh........haha

Get a Nissan Grand Livina then. Just pay in full lah......kekeke

Just get a 1st hand Myvi. Cheap, gd and high resale value.

You are talking about the rental profile of FT tenant working in SG, vs Singaporeans looking to retire in JB landed? The profile, motivation and financial status is quite different right? Is not exactly comparing apples to apples. This also suggests to me that you have not quite seen what a...

You still cant run away from 2.5 - 3% vs 4.5 - 5% right for the next 10-15 years? As for the data, just google lah for MY growth rate. And as I mentioned earlier, we are just talking abt the entire MY's growth rate. Johor, Penang, KL's growth rates would naturally be higher.

Our LT growth rate is projected to be between 2.5 - 3% going forward. MY's rate is projected to be 4.5 - 5%. Iskandar's growth rate will naturally be more than MY as a whole. It's not rocket science, isnt it? But of course all these are just projections and we are lucky to be in the internet...

Johoreans dont know these places? LOL. Its like saying Singaporeans dont know Tampines, Ang Mo Kio, Tiong Bahru, Tanjong Pagar!

My question to you is: Do you really know Iskandar? Or is your analysis based on reading newspapers and internet articles? Do you know where is Bukit Indah, Nusa Idaman, Sutera Utama, Molek, Permas Jaya, Mount Austin? How many times have you been to these places in the past year, if at all...

Well, my guess is these people probably falls under a few categories below:- 1) Kind-hearted Singaporeans who dont want fellow Singaporeans to be scammed, and who have a lot of time on their hands 2) SG property agents who think Iskandar is taking away their business 3) Singaporeans, PRs and...

Sometime I wonder why there are many people who are 'so helpful' to their fellow Singaporeans, that they will want to write long articles about the ills of investing in Iskandar. Anway the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Just wait and see how the situation unfolds in the coming years...

As Malaysia's legal fees are quite ex, it's quite common to use the buyer's lawyers for the transaction. Advice from my lawyer: Unless you dont really trust the other side, he advises to only use the buyer's lawyers for 2nd hand purchases. For 1st hand direct from developer, it's ok to use the...
