Hi gregorian, you can also check out Nusa Idaman's semi-d with a built-up from 3100sqft and bigger and the price of RM688k and above. It's a 2.5 storey concept and is well above the RM500k minimum limit for foreigners to buy. The project is also in a G&G area and these are new units that you buy direct from the developer. So far, it seems that Standard Chartered's packages are good; I got mine from them at BLR-2.3% for the first 3 years and BLR-2.35% for the subsequent years. If you buy from the developer, they MIGHT have deals where they will pay for all legal fees, etc. As the buyer, you only need to pay the downpayment. Have a look at Nusa Idaman's sales office; the project is under UEM Land, a big property player in Malaysia and owner of most of the land in Nusajaya.
By the way, quite excited that they are opening up the taxis from SG to Johore and vice versa in July. This will really help people travel from both sides. The devil is in the details, I wonder what they would do for the taxi driver to facilitate multiple trips in a day though.
It would be very good news for people who are taxi drivers and want to drive in their family and friends in for sightseeing as well.
Yes, this is very good news for my wife, who does not drive. She has finally taken the courage to go learn driving. But this news will take some pressue off her when we moved to EL next year. I have told her that it will be easier to get a licence in Malaysia and just get a Malaysian car, but she insisted on getting a Singapore one as she is worried about emergencies when she need to drive back to Singapore. With this, she can easily call a cab and get to Singapore. But I wonder how does one get back. I suppose you will still need to go to Rochore to take the cab back right?
Welcome Gregorian, have you made the move? If so, would you like to share your experience with us?
Actually I saw one even lower at RM23K, an old Proton Saga. I was getting my car washed at Giant (Bukit Indah), and there were several 2nd hand cars parked nearby with sales price tag on it. The salesman there was very friendly and started chatting with me. Was told that the top of the range Proton Perdana was no longer available, but it is the Ispara? now.
Back to car wash... I was persuaded to do the fogging for the car at RM25. The car had a nice smell after the treatment, and was told it will last for 1 week. But it actually only lasted about two days. I will not recommend it.
Yeah it is very important to get behind the marketing brochures and the slick talk.
The brochures i saw on Kulai were fantastic and impressive. But when i checked out the place by doing more research i realised its not for me.
Similarly Kempas Utama had some great marketing going for it. I was attracted to the Smart Home concept they had. In fact they offered a lot more stuff than Setia offers in terms of value for $$. But a visit to Kempas Utama and i decided i dun wan a part of it.

I have a relative who works as a taxi driver. Inordered to be able to drive a taxi into Johor, the taxi driver have to pay S$1000 on a yearly basis. They will charge S$50 per trip. Same as taxis from Johor, its a RM$50 to any destination in Singapore.

Greeting Wuqi,
Thanks for asking. yup. i am looking at a cluster house in HH. it has a big garden and facing the golf course seliing around 9xxk. do you think it's worth it for me to get it? your advice is greatly valued.
Thanks LeMans. Indeed the interest rate is on the high side...
Just a question, I recalled reading somewhere in the thread where the guards are extremely strict and do not allow anyone to enter unless the owners @ home. In this instance how can I really 'feel' the surrounding??? I went to LF sales gallery before and nearly 'sold' by the concept especially when freebies thrown in...
Cabs will be really ex, i have not verified but one JB cab driver told me he can take me to Rochor for MYR120 (of course i do not know how much it can go down since i was not interested)... i think the bus from Bukit Indah to Jurong East is a very good option
i would advise you not to get a licence in Malaysia as you(your very own self) will not be allowed to enter Singapore for 1/2 a year after you get the licence or else your licence be disqualified. So please get your licence in Singapore.
Thanks Matix, do you mean RM 2.3k? Gosh, really can get it cheap. As long as still can drive, just slowly spend some money to fix and you can get a cheap ride. Thanks for sharing about the fogging.
