Err....me thought babys have jaundice? Can adult have jaundice too?
Nothing beats the joy of having your own organic harvest at the dinner table....
Agreed. Ans with the recent disasters, I bet more then that will be going around buying up properties for a sound retirement/investments. Nobody wants to lose their life savings through disasters.

I guess maybe japanese got same problem like Singapore lah , everything is super expensive back in Japan . Hence if they spent their hard earn money here in Iskandar , can retire much earlier . Maybe some of them are Japanese expat working in Singapore ?

The answer is quite obvious, knowing that Japan is very prone to Earthquake, they have to find alternative, instead of WAR to own, they buy to own now.
Oic. Didn't know that. Not at least in this part of the world. Thanks for the enlightenment!
Thanks Bro Investor, nice write up and Infor.......
There was also an article in Edge last year on average price of land in Asia.
Surprising that it is cheaper in Malaysia compared to Philipines & Thailand. (Not sure how they derive the average price)
Taiwan is much cheaper than HK, SIN, Korea though

2nd visits to 8th avenue Bukit indah after we got the keys, omg, hordes of contractors all wanna talk to us. We spent 2 hours talking to them one by one. Can I ask a question? Is it better to let 1 guy handle all the renovations or choose each contractor individually for each items like furniture, lighting, grills all these?
Deeply appreciated

That reminds me of a roadtrip I took to Desaru few weeks back - if you go to Tanjung Pengelih (the east tip of Johor that faces Changi & Ubin), right at the end of the road, you can see a WWII battery that the British constructed. History has it that they made it thinking that the Japanese were coming by sea. We all know they came thru Iskandar by bicycle en route to Singapore. Must have realised Iskandar is a nice place and many years later, came back to buy ...
Furthermore Malaysia always had a Look East policy and Japan companies and people get many preferences in investing. And they love their golf, and the lovely friendly Malaysian girls.
Personal experience, get your own from outside. Once you let one in, they will put a banner or a sticker prominently in front of your house. The rest who wants to work for you will have to pay them commission. Even your own contracters from outside. These contractors are pretty notorious, they work in a group, like gangster. Be extra careful.
Its advisible to lock your gate immediately once you get in. And tell them that you already have your own contracters. I think in Malaysia, it is very common to leave the house unattended for about a year to avoid all the troubles that these contracters can cause. Anyway, please take note of the vehicle numbers of contracters who keep pestering and complain to the RCs. Make a police report if you find them haressing you....

Thanks for the advice, locking the gate is a good idea, thank you.

Depending on which development, getting your own contractor who is NOT one of those "resident contractors" has its fair share of problems... like the example i mentioned whereby one might just cut off your aircon connections while no one is around. Sorry i have no experience yet... but do take your time to select the right contractor... one who is responsible yet "strong" enough to handle harassment from the rest.

For bros who are worry about powerlines when buying your johor prop, you will be interested in my following contribution.
In johor one can see basically 2 types of distribution pylons. the big 400KV and above type. These normally ply across massive fields. An example are those pylons that litters across the area around setia eco gdns. The other type is the smaller 275KV type which is fairly common in many townships. The main concern from these wires is the EMF/ELF emitted from them. Basically EMF/ELF are magnetic field radiation. Research have shown that for EMF, if exposed for a prolonger period at doses greater than 0.3 MT (Microtesla), it can be harmful especially to young children. Ambient EMF or background EMF readings range from 0.01 MT to 0.05 MT.
Unlike electric field which can be shielded, EMF is quite impossible to shield. However, the good news about EMF is that it decreases exponentially over distance. Research have shown that even for the 400KV pylons, anything more than 100m, the EMF goes to below 0.2MT. in other words, those ppl who buy Setia Eco Gdns really have nothing to worry about as these bad boys are located more than 100m away from the township. For the smaller pylons, safe distance will of course be lesser than 100m. That is why the buffer space (called easement) given for these pylons ranges from 50 to 100m from the nearest house/building.
i own an eletric field meter that is able to measure both EMF/ELF. i have personally measured such fields at those townships that are close to such powerlines and that is why i am able to test out many of the research claims and write this piece. In fact, for many of these areas, EMF will only spike up when the house is located directly below the wires or less than 20m from the wires. Once beyond 50m, the EMF drops very quickly to ambient EMF.
i would therefore suggest bros purchase an EMF reader which can be helpful not only when it comes to house hunting but also within the confines of the home....
For parents with toddlers or small kids who like to press themselves against tv or stand/watch close to the TV, my advise is BETTER PULL THEM BACK!. My own kids have these problems. I measured the EMF from my 32 LCD tv, it spiked at 0.9MT!!. For my 32 LED TV, it only spiked at 0.3MT. So it is indeed true that LED emit lesser radiation compared to LCD. The biggest EMF emitter in the house is the micowave oven. The readings will shoot through the roof!! - More than 10MT!! - when i place my meter in front of the microwave while it is in operation. lucky i only heat up things once a while...hahhaa.
i hope bros will find this piece of info useful.
