It was sheer arrogance, not madness.

Which case specifically? The old uncle Mercedes or the expired passport Lady? One is clearly nuts and the other who knows what malicious motive?

The Mercedes old man. It was clearly not madness but sheer arrogance for escaping from death to lesser offence.

I locum in the active cluster area and just saw a Malaysian confirmed Zika case who lives in Skudai and travels to Sg daily.

PETALING JAYA: The first Zika patient in the country is recuperating well at the Sungai Buloh Hospital.
The hospital’s infectious disease head Datuk Dr Christopher Lee said the symptoms that the 58-year-old woman suffered from, including rashes, had also cleared up.
“We will be doing a blood test on her today and if it turns out to be negative, we can let her go home in a few days’ time,” he said yesterday.
He said her mild rashes cleared up in two or three days and the last blood test was negative but the hospital decided to keep her for a little longer just to ensure there would be no transmission to other people.
The blood test today was to reconfirm that she was free of Zika, he said.

I just came back from my usual 250km/hour to Tangkak and back. Exited Tuas at 2am, reached back Tuas 4am. No zika checks. The Malaysia customs chaps were sleeping 4 in a row. One Senior officer looked up from his slumber and wave me on when I slowed down.

Hi everyone,

I have a small question (:

Is it important to have a Malaysia number when living in JB? Do they accept Singapore number? I am considering a portable wifi device vs thethering (on Malaysia prepaid plan). My normal usage is just about 2 Singapore phones in JB.

Felt that portable wifi is more reliable but I am worried that accounts (utilities, govt bills etc) must have a registered Malaysia number when living in JB. That would most probably push me to get a prepaid plan instead.

thanks (:

hi all,

i am Singaporean wanted to sell my condo in JB,
how should i go about it?

Presently i have stop paying instalments to Bank for 6 ~ 7 MONTHS because i have paid about RM120K earlier this year.
do you think i should pay TILL CONDO SOLD or STOP PAYING ?

Knowing that before 5 years SPA, incur 30% profit gain and agent Fee 2%
What other costs to consider, so that i dont sell at a loss?

my is under International Lot, MY Government restrict Foreigners to buy property above RM 1 million,
my condo price was RM500k, can i sell to Foreigners? (since i purchased it under old law restricted RM500k )


THANKS ALL

You need to read your fine print. You might have reduced your principle, but still required to pay instalment as usual.

One way round this is to sell at same price, and ask for COV, assuming next buyer is cash rich.

my is under International Lot, MY Government restrict Foreigners to buy property above RM 1 million,

Believe foreigners need to buy above 1M. Regardless that you bought earlier at sub 1 million. Old rules super ceded by new rules.

You are basically stuck. Which is why previous foreign buyers are upset. Rules change, and those that bought at eg, 700k, are stuck if can't sell above million to foreigners; and 700k+markup too high for locals who have many alternatives at same/lower prices. The only place this rule does not apply is Medini.

you may post it in this forum under : "New, 2nd Hand or Sub Sale house in JB"
I think all legal fees can be deducted from any profits made, so keep all original invoice & receipts pertaining to the house purchase.
Not sure about whether loan interest is deductible ornot.
Tax on profit is staggered.
Get a good agent to help you sell your unit.
Negotiate the terms of commission; payable only on completion of sale.
If you don't make it clear, once they clinch the deal, they will tell you it's their company policy!
In my recent case, when the buyer put in the bal 9%, all hands came out to take a share of it - lawyer fees, agent's commission. That's how they work in My!
See money, snatch! hahaha!
But luckily there are some kind souls who help me along to complete the sale, esp Tekkun.
You will also have to pay 3% to the My income tax dept, the lawyer will help you in all these paper work.
However, they will refund you if there is any excess payment.
For my case, they have written to me, and I am expecting to receive some refund soon.
Good luck!

I am planning to bring my dog from Spore to JB. Does anybody know the procedures involved ? Is it a very cumbersome process, and does the dog have to be quarantined for a period of time at JB side? Thx a lot for your info.
