Of course there are many wealthy Malaysians, more than the number of wealthy Singaporeans due to the sheer size of the population. But Malpaso was referring to the middle class( whose budgetis likely to be not more than 500K, likely around 400K or so) and anyway they would mostly not want to...

For schools there may be exceptions. I went to school in Johor in the 70s and 80s. Governemnt schools had their weekends on Friday & Saturdays then but mission schoosl were allowed to keep Saturday and sundays. I was in a mission school and was off on Sat & Sun while my siblings who went to govt...

It was featured on Home and Apartment Trends Vol 29 No.6. Must say it looks quite distinctive and location is a plus for commuters. MB Buiilders seesm to be going in in a big way in JB but I havent been impressed by some of their former work, they're not exactly an atas developer. On the whole...

Possibly the cooling measures have dented the mkt, potential buyers are worried abt resale. If its borderline 1M after the rebates, discounts etc, then the future valuation may be below 1M as in the case of Arte, Belelza etc which were sold at gross price abv 500K but are now valued below 500K.

Am waiting with bated breath

Medini is a special zone, likely to be exempted. And if so, it will remain exempted for resale units as well, beyond May 2014. But CG as far as I know, its only exempted for developer units, as in the case of other current launches and those that are approved prior to May 2014. If they have...

Where can I get info on the spouse scheme ?why is it better? Thanks.

Thank you very much. If anyone else has a recommendation I would appreciate having the contact too,its end of the year and some of them may not be able to take on more work.

I notice that Sky Loft is on higher ground than Sky Executive Suites, so the highest floors are going to be pretty visible when completed, moreover BUKIT* Indah is on high ground, higher than surrounding areas like Bestari. For Sky owners, if you're flipping I am sure potential Singaporean...

Am looking for a carpenter to do wardrobes and some other storage space. Would appreciate if anyone can give me a contact.

There is a harbour and according to the schedule there are trips to Harbourfront from PH but I lost interest in it as its pretty pricey and also a very long ride. Not viable for daily commuters.

Are you buying for own stay or investment? Why not just buy somewhere other than Medini since you have so many doubts about the area. If for own stay , just buy somewhere you like, somewhere more residential. These units will also be good investments as more and more Singaporeans look for...

You're right, there is some risk. That is priced in at the moment I believe. If Medini makes it as planned then I doubt prices will stay below 1k psf although its leasehold. That is why this is more for high stakes players who can stomach the risk.Malaysia has an advantage as an Islamic country...

Only one part of Medini is the Welness Centre. There is also a business zone.Am sure more transport infrastructure and links will be bult to make PH and Medini more accessible.With Kota Iskandar( govt offices ) there and the malls of Medini, definitely they have to provide more amenities to...

U r contradict urself...one hand say ph, medini in future shud b like cbd like area with significant number of ppl reside there, making the business there vibrant. On another hand pula talk about ppl buy as holiday home (retirees still ok as they will spend time there mostly) bought as second...

At the moment Medini is just a construction site. Once its ready , there will be those who choose to live there like those who work in the business sector, retirees who bought because of the Wellness centre. Not to forget also, certain nationalities like the Japanese have invested big in...

I was talking about investment. Its not the same as own stay. Investors play at a different level and they have different considerations.The IRDA is also aware of that which is certain sectors in Iskandar like PH and Medini are planned to cater more to these investors rather than small time own...

I agree with you. We are paying more and waiting a long time to find out if we will get the unit so there is opportunity cost involved if one loses the unit as prices may have gone up. Also when there are changes in policy, these units will be affected.In my case, I only booked as an 'extra' ...

There's hardly anything in PH going at below 1M so I believe these well heeled investors are not affected.
