There are at least 5 more places. PM me only if you really need them.
Some of them have met their foreign investment limit already though.

CapitaLand
Gaining a Foothold in Iskandar
CapitaLand to take 51% stake in project. CapitaLand announced that together with Iskandar Waterfront Sdn Bhd (IWSB) and Temasek Holdings, it will acquire and develop a 3.1m-sq ft A2 Island at Danga Bay, within the Iskandar Region. CapitaLand, IWSB and Temasek will hold stakes of 51%, 40% and 9% in the project respectively.
Projected GDV estimated at SGD3.2b. The cost for the freehold land amounts to MYR811m (SGD324m), or MYR261 psf of land (SGD104 psf land). CapitaLand will lead in the refinement of the master-planning and the project development, which is envisaged to comprise a premier waterfront residential community (high-rise and landed), with a marina, shopping mall, F&B offerings, serviced residences, offices and recreational facilities, to be developed in phases over 10-12 years. With a total GFA of 11m sq ft, the project is estimated to generate a Gross Development Value of MYR8.1b (SGD3.2b).
Price appears attractive. In December 2012, HK-listed Chinese developer Country Garden Holdings had acquired 2.4m sq ft of land at Danga Bay for MYR900m, which works out to MYR376 psf of land, 44% higher than what CapitaLand’s consortium will be paying for A2 Island. Details at this point in time are sketchy given that it is a long-term project, but assuming net margins of 15%, we estimate the RNAV-accretion from the project at around 3 cents/share.
Leveraging on potential economies of scale. We expect CapitaLand to be able to reap some economies of scale, given that it is the project manager for the “Urban Wellness” project in Medini North, which is within the Nusajaya part of Iskandar Malaysia. The “Urban Wellness” project is a 50:50 joint venture between Singapore’s Temasek Holdings and Malaysia’s Khazanah Nasional.
Maintain BUY.
We do not expect CapitaLand to significantly scale up its Malaysian exposure henceforth and China and Singapore are still expected to be the key markets going forward. Maintain BUY with target price unchanged at SGD4.27.

UOB Malaysia to double its corporate loans to foreign companies
investing in Malaysia within three years
New unit set up to help Singaporean mid-sized SMEs1 expand into Iskandar Malaysia
Singapore, 4 March 2013 – United Overseas Bank (Malaysia) Bhd (UOB Malaysia) aims to double its
corporate loans to foreign companies investing in Malaysia in the next three years.
The Bank has based its projections on the fast-growing volume of foreign direct investments (FDI) and
increased intra-regional trade flows coming into Malaysia.
Currently, Malaysia attracts 10 per cent of the total FDI inflows from intra-regional trade in the Southeast Asian region
2.
To tap these trends, UOB Malaysia has set up an FDI Advisory Unit to help foreign companies
expanding their business into Malaysia.
The unit will provide assistance ranging from company incorporation or further expansion into Malaysia,
access to UOB’s full suite of corporate and personal banking products to borderless financial services
through the Bank’s long established regional network.
UOB Malaysia’s FDI Advisory Unit’s first priority will be to focus on Singapore mid-sized SMEs
expanding their businesses across the causeway into Iskandar Malaysia.
Mr Wong Kim Choong, Chief Executive Officer of UOB Malaysia said, “Iskandar Malaysia’s lower cost of
land, skilled labour resources and special tax incentives are attracting Singaporean companies.”
“As there is growing interest from Singapore companies requiring financing needs overseas, the launch
of this FDI Advisory Unit is timely as it allows customers to tap into the Bank’s ecosystem of financing,
legal advice and contacts with trade bodies.”
Today, Malaysia’s competitive cost of doing business and open policies such as the allowance of 100
per cent foreign equity holdings and funds repatriation to the base country makes it an attractive
business expansion destination.
Singapore companies find Iskandar Malaysia attractive for business expansion plans
Last week, close to 200 mid-sized SMEs from Singapore took part in UOB Group’s first customer
seminar to explore the growth potential and business opportunities available in Iskandar Malaysia.
Because of overwhelming customer response, the new FDI Advisory Unit will continue working with the
Malaysia Investment Development Authority, Iskandar Region Development Authority, Iskandar
Investment Berhad and the Singapore Business Federation to organise these customer seminars on a
regular basis.
Mr Wong noted that there has been keen interest from Singapore companies wanting to establish a
presence or expand their business into Iskandar Malaysia, Johor. “The close proximity to Singapore, as
well as familiarity with the language and culture, are major considerations as they allow Singaporean
companies to comfortably manage their businesses closer to home from across the causeway.”
According to the UOB SME Survey 20133, Malaysia is the second most-preferred country by Singapore
businesses, after Indonesia, for expansion purposes.
Over the past three years, UOB Malaysia has facilitated financing needs for a broad range of foreign
companies setting up business in Johor, including those from the manufacturing, property, food and
beverage, logistics and retail sectors.
The UOB SME Survey 2013 was conducted among 200 Singaporean small and medium-sizes enterprises (SMEs) across
multiple sectors to seek their views on business and economic sentiment, and how the SMEs develop their relationship with
their customers. The survey was done across five markets – Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and China in November
– December 2012. Close to 800 SMEs were interviewed.

MMC Corp Bhd is well-positioned to ride on the re-rating of UEM Land supported by positive sentiment towards Iskandar, as 68 per cent of its sum-of-parts (SOP) come from Iskandar Malaysia.
In a note today, HwangDBS Vickers Research said MMC has started to unlock value with the sales of about 161.87 hectares of land in Senai to a developer.
"We estimate every RM5 per sq ft increase in land prices from our RM21-RM23 per sq ft base case would raise SOP value by eight per cent," it said.
HwangDBS said MMC, however, was in no rush now to sell more land due to the flurry activities in the state currently and the proposed high-speed rail which was likely to run through its land.
The research firm has recommended a 'buy' call on MMC with a target price of RM3.60.-- Bernama

As Singapore raises the pay due to labour crunch, more Malaysians will come to Singapore to work. This will cause labour crunch in JB, and forces operators to raise their pay also. It will be passed down to the consumers. Expect more inflation ahead in JB very soon.

That is why we need to play the inflation game like a speculator.
Stay in the game just to cope with inflation.
Properties, Gold..... Maybe?

I don't recommend gold, even though I invested in some much earlier. Property is the way to go now. Stocks maybe.
Can buy sliver? Now is at $28, hv bought in some,gold had recently drop as well? Good time to buy some gold too?
