I bought two different models from US some years ago too, both batteries didn't last long, cannot work after one year plus, better spend the money on part time maid instead.
Yah, I heard part time maid is RM50/visit.

from a lady pastor who shares a common passion to save stray pets. She knows the guy for years and she disclosed his plight when I was considering paying misc fees to bring strays to the guy's farm in johor. I had bought calenders etc but I believe the cost of operation is way high, talking about 1000+- pets. The horses could be those too old to continue in horsing racing and nowhere in sg can horses retire to a green pasture. Besides dear sg are not fond of horse meat.
Nursing homes, either for folks or pets, are likely to be an abandoning ground used by people, rich or poor.

I have 2 of those. Shipped those back from the US when I moved back. 2 problems/limitations.
It is good only for light vacuuming jobs - like daily runs of the robot. Also the battery lifespan. Mine last less than 2 years and the costs of replacement battery pack is expensive. I think was like 250 SGD for a new battery. Changed 1 year ago and now it is a matter of time the battery clonks. I have read if you know someone who can repair/replace battery pack, you can do it for less than half the price of a new battery.
Many thanks.
You can get them at booths easily at most Tesco and Jusco, if you are in Bukit Indah area. Carrefour has a lot of shops too. Not sure for Petrol Stations though.
Thanks Wuqi.. Wish to meet you guys one day for coffee or drinks at HH... Lots of things in my mind.. How you guys watch TV? Install Astro or find someone who can install satellite dish?
Hi Fc3s1,
Since the clusters in the hills are going for 928k onwards, I guess 600k is a good bargain...even though it is all your call and judgment.. I am please to see more countryman staying here and form a new community..

Hi Wuqi and all,
stumble across this thread while doing my research for relocating to Johor. Like many others, my push factor is the cost of living here in SG, and I had practically had given up on hope that my wages can keep up with the ever-raising minimum for survival.
The info here are exceptionally good and valuable, and I was attempting to read all in this thread so to understand the changes since Aug 2009. Unfortunately at 404 pages, I find it quite difficult to grasp the current situation, to serve my need. Hence I hope that some of my worries can be helped by someone that frequent this thread...
To put in perspective, I am seeking rental (not purchase, yet) and looking at Nusajaya area (HH, Ledang Height, East Ledang or nearby), for travelling via 2nd Link is faster to my current workplace in Boon Lay. My rental budget is only about 1k MYR/mth though, hence the first worry is whether there is available places in these area that is within my budget.
Also thru the few pages that I managed to look, the general sentiment is condo / apartment are not advisable (for the good reasons mentioned that I agreed). But I doubt there are landed place that fit in my budget. So the second worry is if there are any apartments in the Nusajaya area that I can seek out for my specified needs?
Really hope to hear from someone here. Thanks!

Hi Fc3s1,
The alphabet soup of terrace houses are quite diverse in Iskandar. Got to make sure comparing right things...
HILLS Clusters mentioned of 928k are probably Terrace corner lots? (arsenal pls correct me if I am wrong)
Your question pertains to "intermediate cluster terrace at HH (GOLF)"
HILLS Intermediate Superlink Terraces (Type A & B) are going for 750k/700k..
I guess better clarify in order to make right decisions. Intermediate cluster means intermediate superlink terrace?
If in the end still not sure, can ask the HH Sales people for their opinion. But be careful the good experienced ones like Shinyi will try to convince you to buy a semi-D
We installed the normal antenna on top and got Astro to do the installation FOC for the satellite dish.
which part of golf? Pingirran no? I used to look ard all of golf, if it's 5 or 6, it should be quite a good deal. 1) direction of house, 2) defects in house, 3) neighbours, 4) fengshui.
Very highly unlikely it will be pinggirran 3 or 4.
From what I learned from the HH sales, the Hill clusters start from 928K onwards... The corner units (few left) from 1.1M onwards..and many people are leaving their cheques to HH so to secure the new cluster batch once released..
Of course, price has shot up quite a lot..

Hi TLPPL
Nusajaya prices have gone through the roof, both sale and rental. If you are looking to rent a house - semi-D or terrace - look at Gelang Patah, Perling and Bukit Indah, where you may still find these at between RM$500 - $1000 a month. Singaporeans who are of the same mind are already renting these and living happily. The big concern is security - every conceivable precaution should be taken; get to know your neighbours and be helpful to them; do not be showy and show off; be sure you are dealing with the owner or the owner's appointed agent before parting with any money.
With luck and wisdom you are likely to be happier, at ease and less stressed, and certainly financially better off when you find the place that suits you to rent.
All good wishes
It is not to say that Raymund operates in a vacuum. He's been at this for 20+ years [that alone is a wonder!] and has a committee in Singapore who are dedicated and hard working. STILL fund raising is a huge difficulty, as all charities face, while his front line activities I don't think anyone else can do.
To run such a large operation is not a bleeding heart matter. Now and then in Spore and Malaysia we read of some dear soul who has far too many underfed and underwashed cats or dogs or both in a stinking house/flat/yard - I see this as a good heart gone wrong, because we need to know our limits. Really, education and sterilization are the only answers. Education includes to adults who buy cute pets and later abandon them; people who keep dogs in cages all day in the sun or partial shade only to let them out as 'guards' at night etc etc
It says everything about a person and a nation as to how we treat animals ... there is no place for cruelty in a civilized society, not even to snakes let alone dogs.
Hi Cathy,
We had a ramba for about 6 mths. Found it useful. Surprising the small machine could do quite a good job, floor is quite clean. It is true that you would need to keep the place rather obstacle free. Generally, no complian. However, I understand that the battery is rather costly.
TLPPL, the budget you wrote about, if you can increase it slightly to 1600 MYR, you are still able to rent a terrace in HH. Else there are also other developments but best is gated and guarded ones. You can go to www.iproperty.com.my to start looking and with 1k MYR, you should still be able to find something.
