I still have confidence in JB, in the longer term of course.
JB will flourish one day, albeit at a slower pace.
Whatever Sg does, My can replicate in some way.
Sg has a master planner – URA, therefore we have well planned towns.
JB lacks the overall town planner, each landlord is free to build their own projects.
Hence it may lead to overbuilding of some developments in some sectors.
In the longer term, brick and mortar still holds some value compared to some other bad investments which may just disappear or may have evaporated in thin air.
If we cannot see it happening in our life time, pass on to the 2nd generation or 3rd generation to reap the fruits.
Maybe treat the investment as being buried in a time capsule?
Meanwhile, do whatever you want to do while waiting for it to bear fruits, but don’t be out of the picture.
Just don’t expect too much too soon!
The China Chinese have big appetites, have guts and $. They do things differently!
Same here in Sg. We do not lack local developers but why bought by China developer?
Shunfu Ville was sold for S$638 million marking the third largest en bloc by quantum here. Each owner of the 358-unit condo, which lies less than 200 metres from Marymount MRT Station, stands to get around S$1.78 million. It is buyer Qingjian Realty's first en bloc purchase in Singapore since it began developing projects in Singapore eight years ago, and it succeeded with an offer that was below the reserve price of S$688 million.
So much has been spoken, and so much has been done, just let it happen and let nature takes its course. Although we very much want to make it happen the way we want, but its beyond our means! Things will fall into place when the time comes! 天时地利人合. So don't worry, just be happy!
