can we buy diesel vehicles in msia? like the diesel turbo Hulix?

Yes, no issues with buying unless you are buying commercial vehicles then you need a company, etc.

Ha Ha, thanks.

Well done for pressing ahead despite the earlier challenges you had. Congratulations.

Friends of mine got inundated with calls recently from friends, relatives and even strangers who are calling them about housing, etc.

One of them was pretty sick but still took the time to show some folks new to JB around the estates.

Funny thing though, at the end of the tour, they then told him they were locals but that they had been living in SG for the past forty years. Now they are determined to come out here as well.

I have been helping out in a few cases and of late, really got a lot of enquiries. Referred folks to medical, car maintenance, shoe related industries, etc. Seems the interest is growing.

Yes Wuqi, my relative who is selling her corner terrace in Leisure Farm Resort BWV placed an ads in Straits Time and she was bombarded with enquiries. She hv to answer to all sorts of qns till her handpone batt ran flat by afternoon.

Went there last Friday. At the middle of the huge car park the msia police stationed a mobile police post (as a deterrent i guess). Its important to note that the car which was broken into had a bag on the seat which can be seen. Even if u r in sg u shd not do that what more while abroad. Then pls do not make it like you are random innocent victim. Its common sense not to leave any valuables or valuable to you openly in the car. PERIOD.

well said!

Did SG average salary double? Low income earner salary has been stagnant. I know an office cleaner in the 1980s and her pay was $600 then, now I know a school cleaner and her pay is $700.

malaysia diesel has high sulphur content and not suitable for new euro4 and euro5 vehicle esp continental. Even those korean car using european engine also suffer. better to get petrol vehicle.

hilux is euro3 and should be ok.

My friend drives a new model diesel car in SG but cannot pump diesel in Malaysia :(

Agree, especially for bros and me who have to call back and sometimes some took more than 45 minutes. In the end, i sent a standard template FAQ to them after the first 15 minutes and sent them to bros as well to save everyone time. Also good for them as a reference as some will ask the same question repeatedly. A whole extended family came and then another, i don't mind sponsoring time and petrol/diesel but wife is getting a bit upset at what she calls is my "national service."

Found a pretty reasonable lawyer for one of my bros who was stuck with a couple who really wanted to buy from him. Very honourable chap who stuck to the deal despite the agent and his wife telling him otherwise (20-30k difference) as nothing was inked yet.

For Euro 4 or 5 continental diesel vehicles, I believe the particulate filter on the car can be removed to accept pump diesel grade but do check with the sales person if this is true.

In MY, since RON95 is subsidized, I say just buy a petrol car

A couple of updates, some folks in a new condo development starting with G are telling Singaporeans and other PRs who have HDB units in Singapore that they can still bypass HDB MOP. Please check and verify that the paperwork says Commercial and not Residential. If its Commercial then no problem but in this case, seems like it was still Residential.

It is really bad to tell folks that they can buy such units and not to be subject to the MOP rules so please do take note, always check the documents and S&P that you are buying.

As a reminder, all S&P are standardized and should not be different. Any such exceptions must be made to the proper authorities and the clauses to be documented and provided to the owner. Any deviations should be properly consulted with ones lawyers.

True, anyway a friend of mine always recommended me to use diesel from Esso, so i will monitor and see.

Only residential units (which includes serviced apartments classified as residential on commercial titled land) are required by Housing Ministry to use the standardised S&P per the Housing Act. If its a commercial or industrial unit, they are not required to use the Housing Ministry's standardised SnP.

http://www.hba.org.my/laws/housing_reg/2007/2007-12-01-hdr.htm

A standard S&P regulated by Housing Ministry looks like this:
Schedule G for Sell-then-build landed - http://www.hba.org.my/laws/housing_reg/2007/schG/schG-2007.htm
Schedule H for sell-then-build high-rise - http://www.hba.org.my/laws/housing_reg/2007/schH/schH-2007.htm
Schedule I for Build-then-sell landed - http://www.hba.org.my/laws/housing_reg/2007/schI/schI-2007.htm
Schedule J for Build-then-sell high rise - http://www.hba.org.my/laws/housing_reg/2007/schJ/schJ-2007.htm

Thanks Mingchye, i should clarify here, the reminder was for my earlier posts referring to residential units which will have to use the standard S&P and there should be no exceptions unless they get special exemption from the governing body.

I believed it is legally OK to buy condo (Malaysian can them service apartment). Most of these developments are sitting on commercial land and can be classified as commercial property right? Can bypass the lampa HDB MOP rule that clamp the sinkies!
