Hi to all brothers,
I just received a water bill in the mailbox for Jan-Feb... I am renting a condo unit.. The minimum is 30RM per 2 months... The bill is dated 18th April... But today is already 14th May?
Are the water bills collected 2 months in arrears?? I think the agent showed me the outstanding balance is 0 as of march.... And if I recall correctly, he paid for Nov and Dec...
Is this correct?? So I pay the Jan-Feb bill for him because the bills are in arrears?? Please advice... Thanks.. I moved in on the 18th March... So to know how much I have used in March and April, I need to wait till June/July??

You're right to say that most of the purchasers are not Singaporeans; and there are a lot of Msians working in SG with similar spending power. However, only foreigners are restricted by the RM500k purchase and the developers want to target foreigners as they would give the highest profit margin. So, it's really a business and profit-minded decision to price the houses at a minimum of RM500k and higher.
It's true that it is more difficult for foreigners to get a low to mid-level job in MY. Usually foreigners will only hold high positions in MY due to the gov restrictions.
ignore earlier months. pay the amount from mar onwards. yea you can expect the bill to arrive later for the march period. the water tariff is raised for condo recently.

RT, you should only pay for the month that you sign the tenancy agreement or the date when it starts.
HY, you can just ask the developer to bring you in when you are in HH. A couple of the guys working there are quite ok. Just tell them that you would like to see one of the units and "considering" They will bring you in with them.
AP, good for you, smart too with a pay as you go internet plan.
It is really warm but very strangely everyone of my relatives were having coughs, etc when they got here but got better once they got here. I think it was caused by the haze. A neighbour just moved in here with a large dog and keeping some of my friends awake as his dog barks at everything that moves, including ants.
By the way, at Austin heights area, there is a One 2 Eat cafe, quite nice. At the new row of shops, near the Cherie Hearts is a nice bak kut teh joint, saw ex TCS actress Le Yao today, taking a picture there with the boss. She seems to like the bak kut teh there apparently, put on some weight though but still nice looking.
Bros who needs CCTV, there is a CCTV shop there, quite reasonable, 1k plus for 4 cameras and DVR including installation and set up.

Pricing wise, for agents, they should be collecting just from the seller side although typically they will ask you for 4-5k RM. You can don't give it to them, also iproperty.com.my and other websites sometimes list good properties by owners so its a good place to start looking.
I checked for a friend of my as he was on limited budget, one of the lakeview condos at Austin area is renting from about 800 RM (unfurnished) to 1000 RM (fully furnished)
His plan is to rent out his place for about $2k SGD monthly, converts to RM at about 4800 RM, rents a place at 800 RM monthly and retire earlier here with his family. Although things are expensive, even with differences in exchange rate, he still has about 3k plus the cheaper utilities and petrol.

Thanks for sharing, good for you, i like BH guys as they are quite ok and pretty straightforward, when the aircons i bought from them have any issues, they will come asap, so far so good.
Actually quite a lot of developments keep to the 80/20 rule and at most 70/30 ratio between locals and Singaporeans. So its not just Singaporeans or foreigners causing the prices of properties to boom but the locals as well who are realising that the old adage, investing in your own backyard is starting to make sense. Likely those from KL working here or locals working in SG, investors who are diversifying from KL to Klang to JB are amongst the main buyers.
My humble 2 cents, its not Singaporeans directly who are driving up the prices but perharps indirectly as much of it is still supported by locals.
Just heard rumours from well connected and learned friends that more major companies are moving out here very shortly, news will be out in June. As it is, already lots of news in MY and SG, things are slowly taking shape.
