The Sultan and Menteri Besar of Johor should give our bro wuqi an award for his persistence and contribution to Iskandar Malaysia!
Thanks a lot, i didn't know that people will be keen. I hoped i was of some help at least to the fellow sufferers.
Oh yes, they want a hinterland still, thats what we should too.
The BLR rate has steadily climbed from 5.55 to 6.05 and now latest i heard is its going to be 6.33! The way i see it, the gates are closing fast.
I kind of pity the staunch naysayers but they are well entitled to their views and i respect that.
Hi bro eck2912, oh i see, Nusa Duta is like 2 minutes away from HH so its a pity you missed it. HH is pretty near the Jusco and right off the 2nd link ramp after coming out from exit 308, with the Jusco to your left, you just drive straight in.
Oh i see, great for you, that area is not bad but a bit congested. Whatever your choices, you did well by coming more to see for yourself.

Oh yes, its starting to but the commercial ones are also breaking the previous predictions although as always, its dependant on the location. Those in bad areas will not move much.
Its starting to correct itself and reaching but still abit aways from prices in KL. Even KL people come to JB to buy property for investment and some as they are working in SG or JB. I am sure they will, the restiction on 500k, the
banks raising the interest rates, etc. These are all to curb speculators but to the Malaysian people, they are not really affected as their government, no matter their faults, do look after their peoples welfare.
Yes, you are right, they are really protective and yes exactly there are many tools at their disposal. I saw in your other post you managed to get in? Good for you!
Oh yes, unfortunately. You can claim you are overseas though and push back the dates. This is the truth as you are overseas even though you may be in a location just 1 hour from door to door.
For me, i have kids who are going to those daycare centres soon. There are plenty of English speaking daycare, kindergardens here. Even Kumon is here. There is also a van service to bring kids into SG schools, etc daily.
Thank you, the original (and still current) purpose was to let fellow suffers know they have a choice. This is really voting with your feet in terms of costs but still be able to maintain links with other family members and friends.
Thank you, the original (and still current) purpose was to let fellow suffers know they have a choice. This is really voting with your feet in terms of costs and the space but still be able to maintain links with other family members and friends.
Thanks, i don't deserve it, i just saw a golden opportunity and took it and i wanted to share it with fellow sufferers.
I just want to help where ever i can. To me, the foreigners can just have the place and make prices ever higher while we withdraw to higher ground.
Actually, you deserve thanks from everyone for your part in making this a sticky.
A beacon left on the ground can only shine so far, thank you for putting the beacon on a post so that it can help to illuminate more and help to steer the ships to safe harbour amidst the sea of uncertainty.
I would advise the naysayers and skeptics to still not believe even after reading the below....
Be Open About Singapore's Investment In Johor, Says Najib
JOHOR BAHARU, July 11 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has called on all parties to keep an open mind and not to be emotional about Singapore's investment in Johor, particularly in Iskandar Malaysia.
Najib, who is the Umno president, said if Singapore or other countries were investing in Iskandar Malaysia, it would be to the benefit of the people of Johor.
"If we want to see development in Iskandar Malaysia and Johor, we should be open to investments from all. There is no difference between investments from Singapore and those from the United States as long as they are beneficial," he said when opening the Pulai Umno division meeting and the Tan Sri Mohamed Rahmat Complex on Sunday.
The prime minister said parochialism should be discarded in matters concerning foreign investment, including those from Singapore "because we are now in the 21st century."
Citing an example, he said, if the United States bought palm oil from Malaysia, the move would also benefit Felda and its settlers.
On Felda, the prime minister said it was not true that the land development agency was bankrupt as alleged by the opposition.
It was the opposition leaders who were "bankrupt of ideas," he said.
He also said that Malaysia need to move forward in its quest to become a developed nation.
"We want to see Malaysia becomes a modern country, a country which is creative, innovative and able to compete at the international level," he said.
Present were Young PAP Singapore chairman Teo Ser Luck and the deputy speaker of Indonesia's house of representative, Anis Matta.

Ya lor bro. Raining, cant see the road clearly. May go again in coming weekend.
Do u heard of waterfront precinct at permas jaya called senibong cove? Look pretty well planned as it is closed to a new coastal highway but dunno will successful not for waterfront in malaysia..:p
Oh i see, sure sounds good.
I am sure it will be nice though at Permas Jaya thoughh i am not sure of the development plan there. I would suggest speaking to the local folks and agents more on such areas but nothing beats seeing for yourself like what you did.
Just saw this:

I dunno if this really worth that price but still many people buying. R u having the same unit there?:p
nitecrawllerr, if you've driven, visited, spent your ringgit and stayed at various M'sian towns during holidays, you'll definitely adapt to JB. Besides the obvious cost savings in basic necessities, you'll continue to get your CNA, Channel 8/5, Class 95/987, etc. Its as though you've never left "home" but away from "home". The places that you've mentioned are basically the "hotter" areas right now in JB. Most of these developments center around hypermarkets like Jusco, Tesco, Giant etc. and because these areas are within the Iskandar region, genuine work can be seen right now in developing them. Potholes are paved quickly, roads are resurfaced, widened frequently. Police patrol cars are seen as well conducting checks and road blocks and contrary to what people say, I've personally seen them Polis waving Sg registered cars on and concentrate checks only on local vehicles. So there you go, infrastructure, safety, amenities, all settled for the time being. Hope things can get better.
Oh ya, another important point, a car is still a necessity but you don't have to worry about ERP, exorbitant parking charges (besides fighting for lots in air tight multi storey carparks), huge crowds everywhere during weekends (think ECP, major shopping centres, food centres in Sg). Bottom line, you have space, lots of it in M'sia.
Toyohon, just wondering cos me/wife still working in Sinkyland. Wont really move in (not till 10-15yrs time), maybe mthly retreat, but if decide to buy a unit there very near future, is there anyway can engage "someone" to take care of my renovation (without my constant presence cos of my work commitment) and ensuring all in good order? Wats the cost like?
Corner terrace?

The show house is not ready but work are in progress. This is touted as the first development undertaken by an Australian developer in Malaysia. Waterfront living just opposite Sembawang wharfs.
nitecrawllerr;
If you are not living there full-time, you'll probably got to get use to a "rhythm" commuting JB/Sg. As for supervision of renovations, you'll have to check and source for a reliable person. I know its close to impossible but you know how it is, even in Sg. The only advice I can give it not to look at price alone. Gd luck!
