Wow Batok Seri, that's really a comprehensive and detailed info. Thanks for your effort in this contribution.
From the above, one can easily see that you are an intelligent and highly educated individual. More importantly, like most Malays, peace loving and forgiving =)
Can you wait for three years?
THE IMPIANA'S LAUNCH IS SUNDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER ... tentative name was The Crescent
Saw the three show flats yesterday ... certainly worth a visit - can you believe they already have 15 cheques for a full 10% down already? Both Malaysian and Singaporean purchasers.
The sales manager told me that the studio apt about 600 sq ft is abt RM300,000 so only for sale to Malaysians, since the lower limit is RM$500,000 for foreigners.
The cost for 2/3/4 room apartments is from RM$470 - 490 per square foot. Penthouses are about RM890 per square foot! Sales Packages will include :-
1) Free legal fees on S&P
2) Air-Cons to all rooms (all bedrooms, living and dining xcept bathroom and maid's room)
3) plaster celing fitted with downlights
4) Shower screen in all bathroom except maid's bathroom
5) Built-in wardrobe in master room only
6) Engineered timber flooring in all bedrooms
Important point: only two blocks are being released. After these are sold out, the next release is 10% higher. The three show flats [studio, 2 & 3 rooms] are ready for viewing - modern and sparkling. This being Malaysia, going before the 25th is possible,and no one will swear at you for being in a rush if you are simply polite.
When the highway is ready before the end of the year [already looking tantalisingly ready!] it will be 7 minutes to JB town and No Tolls!
Tell UEM you hear it all from me!
A few friends went around house shopping these couple of days. First some updates:
There are still terrace houses available in Nusa Idaman and Nusa Sentral.
Nusa Idaman is because its the new phase. Selling quite well. The semi-ds
that they are marketing are selling for 880k RM and above.
They gave me the following updates:
Nusa Sentral houses(terraces) are selling pretty well.
Nusa Duta still has some Semi-Ds that are about 800k.
Next phase for Nusa Duta clusters starts from about 750k.
My neighbours have went into the market, i may go into
another one or two as well.

Peace be to all.Its finally the weekend
Wife and i had a restful day today, took her out shopping, sight seeing and massage. Just don't feel so well lately, probably not sleeping well because of additional work coming in.
Lost balance and had a bad fall the other day so pain all over. As dim as this candle may burn (and i don't know when it will go out) but i still see and have hope in people to do the right thing.
Btw, its amazing but seems like even Mr Lee has seen the light.
Oh! Please take of your health bro Wuqi. Must take care of this shrine of existence in ordered to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
It is amazing to be able to do so much things in such a short time frame for the benefits of other people. Bro Wuqi, 你活该会发财！
Peace be to all.

Mean they are ready to sell/rent to you people liao. I get the feeling that they are always one step ahead... Same as the shuzhuo industrial. When they finally ask you go, they have already been there long ago...
Glad to see things settle bro Seri. Hope to learn from your contributions as well.
Good info. Thanks for the contribution.
The top of the line Astro subscription.
If you are thinking of subscribing or upgrading to Astro Beyond PVR. You get HD and a recording settop box that allows you to record 2 channels or watch 1 channel while rec another channel at the same time.
BUT, the big but they don't tell you at signup is, they need to run 2 coax cables from dish to your settop. Most households have been wired with only a single coax run.
Just a heads up so you can factor this in your home reno wiring, else engage comms contractor to install diplexors and such if you have already moved in and don't want ugly wiring on your wall.
Luckily you mention it here. I have been thinking of whether to instal antenna or the dish. Have been putting it off, again because ds having his psle this month. Don't want to give him anything to indulge himself in. Will go around shopping next month then.
You must have made a lot from stocks market recently, but you don't seem like a shortist(short seller) to me

Hi all. New here - and interested in all issues regarding moving to Johor. Heard this was the place to be - and sure enough - found lots of good information.
But still confused - about expat on Singapore work permit - working in singapore and living in Johor. So - I wouldn't need an MMh2 visa to do this? Can just travel back and forth on visa?
Sorry if this repeats earlier questions - if someone could point me to proper thread, that would be great.

went and saw Nusa Idaman, I think its quality is not that good.
Also went to see Bestari Height, personally,, I like this best !!! the cheapest unit is RM560K for cluster 32" by 75" intermediate unit. The corner will be higher due to the extra garden. their semi d show unit is also open to public now !
May I ask, What do you like best about Bestari Height?
huh.. i tot the semi-D show unit opened for ages liao. The strong point is the very deep and long car porch/driveway. If you are ok with the environment then it is fine.

Malaysian govt to consider limiting home purchases
Sep 13, 2011 - HomeGuru.com.my
The Malaysian government may impose a one-house-per-individual restriction, according to Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Minister of Domestic Trade Cooperatives and Consumerism.
He said that any individual who wants to acquire a second home must sell his /her first house and that the government is studying the possibility of approving only 10 percent rental increases for houses once a contract expires.
“Since there is no rule to control the rental rate, some owners increase it by 100 percent,” Ismail Sabri said.
He said that a room in Kuala Lumpur has a rental cost ranging from RM300 to RM400 and added that only the affluent can afford to buy eight to 10 houses to be rented out to those who cannot afford to purchase their own homes.
“The owner would then increase the rental after the contract expires after two years,” said Ismail Sabri.

Very unlikely to imprement such things. More likely they will curb lending on 2nd , 3rd loan to 70% or maybe 60% lah .
good food
If you like mutton berayani, then I have a recommendation. Went to Mydin supermart at Ledang Height today and had lunch in the canteen annexed to mydin. There is a store with a signvoard "middle eastern food". I ordered "lamb mandy" and it was super. It is similar to mutton berayani, minus oil and curry. So good that I ordered another portion to take away, microwaved it as dinner. It tasted even better fresh out of the oven as the fragrance of the rice was strong. I also had chicken kebab and it was delicious too. A set of lamb mandy is RM10. Two chicken kebab cost RM8. Only a few stalls were operating in the canteen and it is easy to spot the said stall.

Asked around a couple of days back and got the same conclusion. They would likely curb the lending and even if they need to go further, it will likely be on certain value/types of property. Example, below 300k. They will be very unlikely to force one to sell any existing ones. Just on the next purchase, one has to sell ones own. Affecting mainly new purchases.
Won't really affect folks who only need one house.
If they implement this for all types of housing, It may also mean some folks would be going after bigger houses since if one house is going to be the norm, then they might as well get a bigger one.
It is my understanding that the third loan is 70% or lower dependant on the applicant's credit rating...... Please correct me if the Infor is wrong!
Bro Wuqi states this would primarily affect house that are 300k or less, so presumably those above will be unaffected or will not have an adverse effect as the impact on the investment and therefore growth potential in Iskandar and Malaysia in general would cause a rethink by potential investors......IMO
