Good job adding the urls, people really shouldn't copy paragraphs of text from others websites completely (unless they have permission). Sampling a bit of the text and providing a link to the people that wrote the original words is better web etiquette. It lets us benefit from the ideas and go...

Re: Is it a MUST to buy MRTA ?? "Originally Posted by Taryn MRTA is mortgage reducing term assurance. The amount assured is the balance of the home loan and it reduces as you pay off the mortgage. The length or term will often be the loan tenure. Personally, I think it's very important if...

Egen Digital in City Square Mall (near McDonald's - but hidden). Good value 16 MYR for 4 (and a small dvd of the image), each 4 more is just 8 MYR. So 16 photos would be 16 + (3*8) = 40 MYR. They will print them up in about 15 minutes (at least they did today).

Where can I get passport photos in JB CBD?

MRT and 3rd link will be game changers. When they are done. If they are done well and the border crossing is managed well. Buying now to profit from the gains certainly makes sense. It does have risks though. It is easier to talk about a wonderful future than actually pull it off. But...

Yes, I think it is quite nice. Lots of good prepared food and food to take home. Also other sorts of vendors but to me the food was the best part.

This kind of thing is what will gain allies. Companies should encourage employees to be looking out for how they can do more for customers. By delighting customers you create great value. When you do the minimum customers require they will want the cheapest prices and will constantly be...

When they announced 2018 I thought that would be amazingly fast. It is bad when you announce one date though and immediately start delaying it. This is also why things like starting construction and actually opening Lego Land or some new hotel are so important. Announcing some new project...

While I realize there are some issues in Singapore now related to a very strong economy and largely a limited amount of space, I think sometime people forget how good the last several decades have been for Singapore. Yes, I realize that good fortune can bring along new challenges. And it seems...

It would make sense to me that they give heavy discounts to the daily package for Malaysians. The yearly pass is a great bargain compared to the daily pass if you use it a bunch (even 2 times and you are way ahead). My guess is this is because they know tons of people will not go back the...

What are the hours when the links are typically backed up and in which direction? M-F 7 AM - 9 AM going into Singapore on causeway? M-H 5PM - 8 PM going to JB on the causeway? F, S and S 6 PM - 10 PM both directions on the causeway? or what?

This is exactly right. Whatever criticism people have about Singapore, it is hard to criticize their economic development foresight. Economic development is something where you need to think of the long term. Then you see what routes you have to get their. Each country and area has different...

For a few years people have talked about manufactures moving out of China to SE Asia. Saying that rising costs were getting manufactures to leave China for new locations. So, a few years ago I took a look at the data. And guess what? China grew manufacturing output more than the total output...

There is some pretty simple math that makes it very hard to justify waiting months with vacancies unless the rental market is non-existant. RM 4,200 * 4 * 12 = 201,600 4 years at RM 4,100). RM 5,500 *3 * 12 = 198,000 Renting out a place for 4 years at RM 4,200 instead of 3 of the 4 years...

Rental markets are often very inefficient. And the pricing is often not-competitive. This means you can get people paying significantly off market rates. My impression of Johor higher end real estate rental is that this is the case. Therefore it is likely (I think) someone will rent a place...

That photo is Norfolk, Virginia http://engineering.curiouscatblog.net/2008/10/20/monitor-merrimac-memorial-bridge-tunnel/ link includes a link to the Google Maps showing it. The area is a huge naval area with lots of ships, so the tunnel allows ships to pass (which a bridge would...

Do you have any contractor suggestions, in Johor area, for helping reduce noise from upstairs condo? I know it is a tough battle (to reduce such noise) but some padding on the ceiling might help?

Good ideas.

Yes that is why I said if they want to ban taxis from a route completely in the others territory that is fine. Many taxi licences do exactly this. Even within the same country they limit competition by not allowing taxis to pick up AND drop off outside their "territory." It is really about...
