Reporting my adventure with coastal highway today: went in from near HH entrace where there was a sign saying "no entrance"... filtered left and entered the highway... reached a point which looked like the connection at Perling but it looked as if i would drop off a cliff if i continued... u-turned back and drove all the way to East Ledang side.
I think this should cut travelling time for HH folks to get to Tuas by about 3 - 5 minutes (normally it should take about 15 minutes to get to MY side checkpoint at second link). It also improves accessibility for EL folks to get to Jusco Bukit Indah by about the same timing. Probably the main beneficiary will be people who need to commute between JB city and Kota Iskandar in either direction, at present the way via Jalan Skudai is horrendous in the morning and evening.

That's interesting but is it exotic pets or exotic foods you are talking about ? Can you share some updates on developer's price of houses (terrace, cluster, semi-D and bungalow ) ?

I got my hubby to get their namecard. Here is the address:-
454 Balestier Rd
Tel: 62565033
The net is enough for 3 windows but the tape is only enough for 2 windows. But I think 2 windows for S$16.50 is still cheap.
ofcourse can several options available
1) increase the height of ur water tank... downside is water may not be able to climb up... so you may need an underground tank and a pump to power the water up. Guaranteed to increase water pressure.
2) The other method is to alter ur piping to connect directly to the tank of your Taman. Cheap method but cant guarantee good pressure always
3) Last method have a pump at ur shower point .... But make sure your pipes can handle the pressure....
Method no 2 is least troublesome i think imho

Still got another option.. install water heater with built in pump.. cost more though..
We were wondering too. Maybe mostly drive in via 2nd link and not many travel to JB town from BI, HH, Perling etc.

Thanks Cathy. Will check the Balestier branch. By the way, I saw a DIY version (made-in-Malaysia) at TESCO Bukit Indah during the weekend. They come with the glue and magnetic strip as well. A 4ft x 6ft version costs RM99.00.
Had similar problem in my precinct but had no contractor contact to offer. Every unit has a huge water tank installed above the ceiling of 2nd floor or 2st floor as the British call it. It serves the function that water supply is not interrupted when external supply has problem. However, water flowing from the tank to the outlets in the house was driven only be the drop in potential energy, or the difference in height. Hence, water pressure on 2d floor was low for say showing while it was acceptable on 1st floor for cooking.Hi bros and sis,

The popular solution was having the developer installed a bypass on the tank. The bypass passes the external water supply pressure to the house outlets but the tank loses its function. Each unit paid less than RM400 for the parts and labor. An alternative was paid no more than RM1400 to the developer to have a boost up pump installed at the outlet of the pump. Some owners preferred to buy pumps in sg and pay for labor to install. The price of pumps varies widely. Could only recall someone said that a shop in perling, opposite the giant could do the job.
My suggestion is check whether there is a water tank on the roof if your neighbors have the same problem.
hi Narmi, how much for normal servicing the car? location? thanks for the info
