Hi euphony,

Music will make them (insects) too relax n comfortable, dance music will make them invite more " friends". Hehe

on the same note I found some parts of the web discuss using ultra high frequency sounds to repel mosquitoes. I wonder if that works!

No one know if Sultan has to pay money for the house.. If he wants, he can certainly do it.. I heard from HH sales staffs that he bought the place for his girl friend..and I think it is true..

Since there is discussion on bank loans and royalties, I would like to share some info.

I am on HXXC loan and I find that they have no hidden cost compared to SXXXXXXX. For SXXXXXXX, they charge you if you want to deposit above a certain amount into the account. Personally I found that a disadvantage when I want to deposit an amount to offset my interest. PB I found they were a bit slow to my queries so I gave up not too long after talking to them. HXXC just charge the RM10 every month, no other charges. Only complain is dunno why they keep sending my statements to my old address even after updating my new address with them.

As far as i know for royalties, I heard the show unit bungalow beside the clubhouse is owned by the bigest royalty in the state, but I doubt he bought it. More like they gave it to him. I don't know if it's occupied since I hardly to there after I purchase my place.

But I heard the foreign banks are slow in releasing money to the developer and then the purchasers end up paying the interest for late payment. Dunno how true this is.

HSBC release the money a week after they receive the notification from the lawyer.. I think they are quite fast... I am on HSBC..

I just have a golf game today in Horizon Hills today.. At hole 7, when the course is nearest to the highway, I find the noise unbearable and not acceptable..

I hope HH, UEM will erect noise insulator at the fence at hole 7.. At other holes noise level is fine.. However with the new highway, I find the golf course is less serene as compared with other courses like Legend.. Even in Singapore like Safra or Tenah Merah with several holes very near the highway, I still don't get affected by the road noise..

I don't recommend these products although i still use it (no choice cos buy already have to use). i am hoping it deters bats but that is based on my personal thesis.

Cheers

Do you keep "xiao qiang" at home? ha ha ..

haha bros..no insect language la...just human language will do.

Food for thought. Does anyone deserve the death penalty simply because he wants to have a meal?. Think about this next time before you start whacking those pesky mosquitoes. If you find them a nuisance, simply shoo them away or take precautionary measures such as netting etc. never kill direct. Its bad for karma.

Sorry for being philosophical bros.

cheers.

Hi Arsenal and everyone else who plays golf,

Is it possible that a golfer can hit the golf ball into a house beside the golf course? Eg. those houses in Horizon Hills beside the golf course.

It sure can happen. My NSman officer recently this July became blinded in one eye in one of d sg golf courses due to a golf ball. He was there at the right moment, right angle , right velocity, right wind direction but unfortunately wrong
place. What were the odds man?! So since the houses there are much much bigger than an eye socket u cant discount d possibilty.

Hi, was wondering if anyone on this forum can suggest any good agents or website to publish ads for selling house? I'm trying to sell my nusa idaman semi d but can't seem to find honest agents...

Have you tried www.homeguru.com.my?

Try searching for properties above RM 500k and you will get the contacts of agents who specialise in marketing properties to foreign buyers. I noticed that agents who offer properties below 500k are distinctively different as they target Market is different as well.

so fortunate to become royalty!

Anyone using hsbc loan? From the previos post i saw ppl say its nt nice? Mind to share?

Sorry for the late response. I have used HSBC for 2 mortgages and they exceeded my expectations. In both cases, the approval came within 48 hours. Overall, they are very responsive to all queries. They are a bit conservative and go up to 85 percent (in both cases). You will have to cover loan stamping and legal fee for loan (total approx 1 percent of loan) separately. MRTA is not required and they will not include in the loan in case you take it. I found an apples to apples life insurance cheaper in Singapore, and most importantly, you pay on a monthly basis, not up front as in MRTA.

If you opt for a flexible mortgage, they will charge you interest only on the loan outstanding, minus any balance on your account.

Depending on the loan amount, you may qualify for the Premier Account. If you get one in MY, you automatically qualify for Premier Account in SG. Transferring money is very quick and exchange rates are very good, given the convenience. Hope this helps.



Depending on the loan size, they may give you a Premier account along with the mortgage

Facing million dollar limestone and lake, very tempting

Hi,

I havent got any houses there cos I feel that I cant control it. Imagine having to drive 3-4 hours just to check out the place or renovation? I love exploring houses with concept.. one in Ipoh I saw in the papers last year.. condo facing those million dollar limestone and with natural lake.. wanted to drop by one day to see.

This issue needs to be brought up to HH, UEM. Have you told them about this? Hi Bro, are you the owner of some landed properties there at HH? There is an exit of the new highway that goes straight to the heart of Horizon Hills.

I don't remember whether there are guards there at the entrance of HH close to the exit of the new highway.

Any Bros have experience with SCB for loan application for the second property?

Quite unlikely unless the golfer purposely aim the ball into your house..

Hi Arsenal and everyone else who plays golf,

Is it possible that a golfer can hit the golf ball into a house beside the golf course? Eg. those houses in Horizon Hills beside the golf course.
