I suppose infrastructure is important in pulling the crowds. When the Coastal Highway was completed its like a dead road. Now it is buzzing and many houses near the exits of Coastal Highway increased in value.
It depends on whether it is a public- or private-funded venture.

Lets hope it don't fail in the first 3 years though. This is a major breakthrough and a channel to enter Iskandar; also a perfect channel for season travellers who are working in and around Harbourfront and stay around Medini and PH region
News about potential nuclear plants & Malay Reserve Land:-
An opposition assemblyman has claimed that two nuclear plants will be built by the Federal Government in Johor within the next eight years. Tan Chen Choon (DAP-Jementah) alleged that Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Mah Siew Keong had made a statement to that effect. He claimed that Mah had stated that the Federal Government was in the final process of drafting the Control of Atomic Energy to enable the project to get off the ground.
"The nuclear power plant costing RM21.3bil was announced by the Federal Govern-ment in June, 2010, under the Economic Transformation Program (ETP) where seven locations were identified in several states including Kedah, Perak, Terengganu, and two in Johor," he said when debating the state Budget at the state assembly yesterday. Earlier, Mentri Besar Datuk Mohamed Khaled Nordin had quashed claims that the size of Malay Reserve Land in the state had shrunk, particularly in areas where developments are taking place in Iskandar Malaysia.
He said the claims were untrue as such lands are protected under the Malay Reserve Enactment 1936 and Federal Constitution. He said under such laws if the land owners wanted to cancel its status with an excuse for development, the person must replace it with another plot of land with same value or size.
"Both existing laws showed the seriousness of both the state and Federal governments in handling the Malay Reserve Land issue in Johor. "The state government has also taken some proactive measures to ensure such lands are protected," he said in reply to questions by Datuk Maulizan Bujang (BN-Tiram), Ayub Jamil (BN-Rengit), A. Aziz Ismail (BN-Senggarang), Datuk Samsol Bari Jamali (BN-Semarang) at the state assembly yesterday.
He said based on the current data, Malay Reserve Land had increased from 87,563.6ha in 1957 to 432,157ha in September this year. "This shows that there is an increase in the size of Malay Reserve Land to 279,744ha or 18.2 per cent since our country gained independence 57 years ago. In Johor Baru and Kulaijaya alone, which is under the Iskandar Malaysia area, lands gazetted as Malay Reserve have also increased to 23,517.37ha this year from a mere 1,921.4ha in 1957," he said.
Mohamed Khaled said under the Enactment, the state government agreed to enforce a ruling to seize any Malay Reserve Land that had changed ownership to non-Malays. - See more at: http://news.asiaone.com/news/malays...ants-being-planned-johor#sthash.wtQZPSiG.dpuf

That's true I think. I also recalled parts of Medini is on Malay reserved land. But if buying from established developers, I think their lawyers will ensure that its not Malay Reserved Land..... The established developers are not stupid too.
Kopi liu can settle anything. The losers will be the buyers, if those are Malay Reserve Land. Anyway it is also mentioned that "lands gazetted as Malay Reserve have also increased to 23,517.37ha this year from a mere 1,921.4ha in 1957." meaning non-Malay land can become MRL?

If take car via Tuas, the toll is about S$15 return trip and another $15-$20 for petrol. Wear and Tear amnd cost of owning a car not factored in yet.
Does sound like a great bargain as there are no jams and one can enjoy the 1 hour plus Seaview and fresh air.
I believe Season Pass will be much cheaper. Anything below S$1000 in season pass a month is cheap

But car can fit in 5-8 pax(depending on models). Cost per head even lower. Anytime can go in and out own time own target. If season pass lets say is $1k wah that is for 1 pax only if like me got 6 how? Can faint already. But once a while can take the sea transport no issue.
Not sure which is the more accurate data in MY. Here's another viewpoint:-
According to a data, there were 3.0 million hectares of Malay Reservation Land when the country became free of the British yoke in 1957. Now some 54 years down the road, the figure has been almost halved to 1.7 million hectares. Reports on the land ‘lost’ through land acquisition were disturbing. In Selangor for example, some 9,000 hectares of MRL were ‘lost’ through compulsory acquisition. Although the Federal Constitution requires State Authorities to replace every acre of MRL taken away through compulsory land acquisition, only about one – third of the 9,000 hectares have been replaced. In Kedah the 80 MRL owners have lost their land in Pantai Chenang Langkawi through compulsory acquisition in 1990 for the Pelangi Beach Resort.
The same goes to some 167 lots totaling 1,000 acres in Kerpan to give way for aquaculture project with a group from Saudi Arabia. In Negeri Sembilan in 1994, more than 600 MRL owners in Rasah, lost 930 hectares to compulsory land acquisition for a massive development of Seremban 2. In Johor some 26,000 acres of MRL in Tanjung Langsat – Tanjung Piai were acquired by the state authority for a project developed by Kuok Brothers in collaboration with UEM Group. In Malacca some 300 acres of MRL in Kampung Pantai Kundur and Tanah Merah were acquired for ‘buffer zone’ of Petronas and in Terengganu some 300 acres of land were acquired for the developments of a resort. The big question now is has it been replaced as required by the law??
The Malay Reservation Areas (MRA) in Klang valley were created under the Malay Reservation Enactment of 1913 and the Land Enactment of 1987. The objective of the legislation was to ensure that the Malays would be able to own land, especially in urban areas, and a provision of the enactment is that an MRA may not, either through sale or lease, be transferred to non-Malays.
Haha...
