I lost touch with gardening around 1993+.

So took a while to regain some of the skills....

My garden was in the hands of my maid for 16 months. Nothing happened...

And now i took over from end April.... And see the transformation sia.... Wah...im so proud already.....

BTW i dun lay claims to being the best gardener on this forum.... THAT AWARD WILL BE RESERVED FOR MALLOW for the moment.

You have to discuss with ur wife la bro what plants u wanna plant. Depends if ur in laws gonna visit... They too may wanna have a say....

Also its carpet grass or cultivation. Extremely difficult to maintain both.....

Oh yea got flowering plants as well...

Singapore property agents have been advised to avoid doing business in Johor because they may be unfamiliar with Malaysian regulations and laws.

Similarly, Malaysian real estate agents have been discouraged from looking for properties in neighbouring countries, particularly in Singapore.

Loo Kung Hoe, Chairman of Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents Johor Baru, noted that the institute had received several complaints from Malaysian agents that their Singaporean counterparts were operating in Iskandar Malaysia to search for and sell properties to their clients in Singapore.

"When Singaporeans purchase properties via their Singaporean agents, they do not need to pay income tax or commission to local agents and that would affect government revenue," he said.

Loo argued that Singaporean agents were committing an offence under Section 22D(5) of the The Valuers, Appraisers and Estate Agents Act.

He revealed that there are currently 98 registered property companies with 1,000 agents attached to them, while 20,000 freelance or unregistered agents are operating in Johor.

"Instead of taking legal action against them, we want to educate them and urge them to work hand-in-hand with our local counterparts."

"Singaporean real estate agents can pass the documents and desired property to the local agents so we can help them look for it," Loo added.

He said that the body wants to encourage unregistered Malaysian brokers and agents to take courses and register as certified property agents to prevent real estate deals from going awry.

"We want to prevent the unregistered agents from misleading or duping investors or property buyers, especially foreigners, which would create a negative image for Iskandar Malaysia."

Haha so much business in Iskandar now people start fighting over commissions. Aiyah these MY agents how come don't understand what is "co-broke" and "win-win".
The Singaporean agents so cunning and unscrupulous i think the Johorean agents will go out of business. Simple example: despite the huge market, every other person who dealt with a Johorean agent used the guy called "Ben"... what happened to the rest???

Bros , after one of my neigbour rented out his house for rm$3500/= I am now very tempted to follow suit . It make economic sense for me as I only use the place once in a month for 1 day . Really love the place and feel bad to rent it out though , as my garden and furnishing might suffer abuse by tentants . But money make longer term can cover cost of all these damage . What you guys think ?

Haha Ben is not bad, his service attitude is one of the best among the agents I met in JB. There is another agent who was late for half an hour - I was on time - and when I called to check, he just said nonchalantly he was having lunch and asked me to wait!

Yeah response has been pretty weak.

Dunno what to do already....

Maybe online petition for starters?

At least still got some publicity ??


No worries .... I believe is the timing. It is too early in the Iskandar stage. People are still busy trying to settle in and fixing daily routines, some in the investment decision stages, and some just getting used to JB. Is thus very understandable many not yet willing to socialise beyond the comforts of the anonymity of the internet.

I am satisified to know that the plan can work and is practical. But glad I wrote on the wall to test the waters before I write anything to UEM. Perhaps when Temasek sinks it feet into the Wellness Project in Medini next year, another avenue will arise.

I know for sure there really is a "trump card" to contact in UEM Land who will sit up and listen. I am sure if we do not contact him now, in time he will contact us. Just watch out for it. He may already be reading these pages....

Also its carpet grass or cultivation. Extremely difficult to maintain both.....

Oh yea got flowering plants as well...

This is good stuff. Inspiring. Some people buy land in Indonesia to plant food to ensure food supply. I think you are one up. Just across the border in your own backyard. You have also the raw ingredients to make vodka & toddy :smile:
