Living in JB 2 (Johore)

[jasonjst]

I was told that to move your household items cum furniture from Singapore to Johor, there is a one time tax free, if you are going to stay in Johor. Anyone is aware of this?? Thanks.

For the MM2H programme only lah . Normal people need to pay tax , but mover can settle for you, I think by giving some kopi lui .
Anyway any bro/sis know of mover to transport one lorry load of funiture from Singapore to JB . Any bro/sis have done it before ?

Hi hi, taman laguna will Be launching their type c and d terrace house (2700 - 2900 sq ft) next weekend, and the price ranges from 598k to 630k. This new price is exorbitant compared to their past launches at about 418k only (mid last year). However, on a psf basis, its only about RM 210 psf. Land size is 26 x 80 or 85. What's your view on this? Worth buying? Bro wuqi, any updates on your thoughts too please? Thx!

It seems worth to me

Morning bro. Can share more on your assessment/views pls? Thx much!

Hmm..my humble views:

1) First at all 600k house for 26x80 is rare in Bukit indah/Costal highway area.
2) Cluster houses are with 2500 ~ 3000 built up, their price are all shot up to 700k~900k (Bestari heights vs Bukit Indah)
3) The price for an intermediate double storey in HH is about 700k (im not too sure bt about there), altot there has good environment but their house is relatively smaller than Laguna (smaller dimention and built up)
4) Good location as in it is middle of the 1st and 2nd link (same like other areas), go town and go 2nd link also very ez
5) High Luxury Residential area, means more rich ppl lol
6) Houses in Bukit Indah/Iskantar area from 400k to 500k+ now, sooner or later the houses there will at least 600k

 

[ShawnLow]

but still, you need to see what the developer can give you for the house materials and whether it is worth or not..but base on the built up and dimension, already worth liao~I had bad experience with their sales office ppl, because they very LC lol~

That's a very fair assessment

High luxury terrace residential? Hope that term lives up to its standard la. But I think it's medium to medium high class only ... Based on current layout and the estate planning, I think still have a lot to catch up and improve leh. But sadly, they r not going to improve the estate planning Liao.

[abugumgum]

I use the Maybank Family & Friends card..
5% rebate on all petrol companies in Malaysia, 5% rebates from Giant and Tesco in malaysia.. rebates paid back monthly instead of quarterly accumulation of 50 dollars by Citi dividend card.

After the exchange rate, still better than using Rm changed fr Money changer?

Restaurants no rebate?

 

[yonglip]

Just rec a call from CIMB Msia telling me my credit card application approved.

No annual fees but understand Msia govt collects RM50 anually as tax on Credit Card...no such thing in SG tho.

Also need to pledge an equal amount of money in their FD as credit limit for the card (min RM3K). for me its ok cos their FD rate is high. Need to go branch and open FD and sign some document. Intend to pledge RM10K,...cos foresee will be spending tons of RM soon for house reno,..haha.

So would say whole process hassel free and glad that NO issues with Singapreans getting a CC from Msia banks.

cheers.

I have infinity river to use as a driving range. Then I'll ask my husky doggie to fetch all the balls back. Woah, this kind of living, where to find?! Only at laguna! Sounds like a salesman, I'm not! Lol ...

If I organize beach foam party, sure invite u as my event planner and as a VIP. Since u have so many wicked ideas lol

Wow, demonstration ! And it says edl has recently opened!

Demonstration on the proposed EDL toll charges
JOHOR BARU: The Johor Baru MCA Youth and Gerakan Youth conducted a peaceful demonstration here recently, to show their disapproval on the proposed toll charges following the opening of the Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL).

Johor Baru MCA youth chief Kua Song Tuck said he had received many complaints from the public especially Malaysians working in Singapore about the charges.

“These people travel to Singapore daily and are worried that they will not be able to survive if the proposed toll which is five times the present amount is implemented.

He explained that the government should seriously conduct a proper survey and suggest a reasonable amount for the toll,” he said during the protest conducted along Jalan Lingkaran Dalam on Thursday.


He said the government should seriously look into the matter as it affected thousands of motorists and could be used against them by the Opposition.

It was previously reported that the 8.1km EDL would force all motorists travelling to and from Singapore to pay about five times more than the present RM2.90, both ways.

The RM1.1bil EDL, developed by MRCB Bhd, linking the North-South Expressway to the Johor Baru Customs, Immigration, Quarantine Complex, is aimed at reducing congestion in the city area.

The EDL is directly linked to the North-South Expressway.
