Puteri Harbour is nice but it's a very long game just due to the amount of land that is still under development.
Without critical mass yet it's difficult to move much yet.

My advice to you - avoid MB like a plague.
Do some fact findings in those recently completed highrise projects by MB, you will know why...


what do you mean it is good? good in terms of quality or the price is good?RM1 million condo should be difficult to sell in current situation.

Hi, can you provide any findings that you have found? It is difficult to find any on the internet.

To be frank, cant expect much from local developers. Don't say MB land, even SP Setia cannot warrant good built quality to you. So expensive, yet terrible workmanship.

Relaxman aka cslong bought a house in BDO P12. His house developer is JLAND.


SP Setia
http://www.spsetia.com.my/corporate/
Malaysia top 10 developer, multiple award winner, latest project setia eco cascadia winner of MLAA 2014 award (developer category), soon to be merged with sime darby & I&P to become a property giant worth assets of over billions, nett cash hoard substantial.

and

JLAND
www.jland.com.my

oh my. under maintenance.
Wow...Your obsession on cslong is really deep.... Anyway, I don't have a house at BDO. To me SP Setia and Jland are both GLC. Same same la... really nothing great about them. The only different is setia don't have a leader now. Just why a bit chaos now. Tan Sri power play is too much for sp setia to handle.

I respect Tan Sri Liew a lot. I believe he was hurt from the SP Setia takeover from PNB but sure is fighting back hard. On the other hand, PNB is clueless on how to manage Setia now.

Tan Sri has to be careful with his debt management in a slowing market. Tapping into the capital market recently has relieved the debt pressure a bit, but driving sales in a slow market is key to sustaining the company's growth, and honestly, it is quite challenging now especially without deep pockets.

I believe he will survive. He is a fighter and he will fight back hard. We can see how his Eco Summer outgunned PNB Setia Eco Cascadia in Tebrau JB. Is a classic case.

My family and I moved to JB and marked our first year not too long ago. We are now used to the commute - kids adjusted to timing and are much better with time management. From Feb onwards, we noticed that the traffic situation was remarkably better. We could leave our home at 6am and got to school (in Woodlands) by 7am. And coming home was easy breezy. However, in the last month or so, it seems the traffic situation has returned to its crazy levels and we can't quite put our fingers on why this has been so. There was a day or two when we were at the M'sia immigration building for about an hour because traffic wouldn't move. And there was another day that the bikes took over the car lane and cars, buses and trucks had to share one lane. I don't even know how that happened or why it was even allowed to happen.

Has this been the experience of other commuters? And please, naysayers, spare me with your suggestions of us moving back. We have our own reasons for moving and it's not just for economic reasons.

Usually nowadays, the Causeway taffic condition bothways is usually not so heavy and quite smooth.
There are days when there is a huge jam on SG's side, I notice the jam was usually caused by the thorough check on cars at the customs side and sometimes a second check by anti-narcotics officers before the exit causing a bottleneck.
I guess those were days when they got winds of some smuggling activities attempts about to happen.

Great decision to stay at JB. You have proven many people wrong here. These self proclaimed property gurus said that hardly any singaporean would shift and stay at JB. Which JB area you staying now?
