I feel we cant compare JB with KL.
KL is the capital of Msia and in many ways its a self supporting economy. In the sense you have jobs there as a result of which people are able to buy high end homes. So even if prices sky rocket in KL obviously the fundamentals exist for KL and hence very unlikely that there will be a crash in KL prices. In fact i see KL prices going further up even if there is a temp stop in appreciation.
The biggest problem with MAlaysia is they focussed on solely developing KL at the expense of other cities (Unlike China and India where you have tier 2 and tier 3 cities and where the growth rate is in exponential terms in the tier 2 and tier 3 cities ----- recent study)
As a result JB for the moment does not have strong fundamentals to be a self sustaining economy. It may get to this stage in the next 15-20 years not for now. As a result JB relies on the spillover effect from Spore essentially (for now). That does not mean there are no Johoreans who wanna live in JB or that JB people are not rich or that there are no jobs in JB. Its just that the JB economy now relies on spill over from Spore. Ofcourse the govt of Msia is now building the fundamentals for a strong future for JB. This actually should have been done 20 years ago.

how come 10% of property price is only RM 1000
I've gotten lots of useful information from this thread and so am more than happy to do my part to contribute. Also it's a way of tracing our own personal experience
OK. Here's the sequence of monetary expenses we've had to fork out so far:
1. RM1000 as initial booking deposit to developer paid via SGD cheque on 1st visit.
2. 10% of property price (- RM1000) to developer for 1st payment via SGD cheque within 1 month of signing.
3. RM11000 (i.e. RM10500 levy + RM500 associated lawyer fees) via telex 2 weeks after that.
4. RM6+K for MLTA to insurance company via credit card same week as telex transfer (payment for 1st year, subsequent payments split to twice per year).
5. RM1000 (i.e. RM500 set up fee + RM500 initial deposit) to open savings account at Malaysian bank for depositing housing loan installments. Personally go down to bank to open account 2 weeks after loan approval.
Everything's pretty straightforward and no hidden costs at all so far.
Next expected outlay will be the 2nd payment of 10% to developer, maybe within 2 weeks from now? Also the monthly loan installments to confirm with bank when to start putting in. Will update soon
Hi Prof, agree on some points, especially for KL but they are not leaving JB out this time it seems.

Thanks for info.
Are the so-called pubs actually call chicken places with rooms on top ??
Maybe the way I phrased it isn't ideal. It's actually 10% minus the RM1000 we placed as deposit
Thanks for info.

I am not sure but we saw there are lots of ladies there.
I heard there are also some special massage areas but this is being a wholesome thread, i think it will be easier if you check through Sam's other website.
Thanks... Could you give us more information such as did you buy intermediate or terrace. Whats the price like?

Ur right wuqi!!
These issues are best avoided in this thread. And you have rightly advised to check Sams other website.

Yes Wuqi agree with you that they are leaving no stone unturned this time as far as JB is concerned. They have finally realised that Malaysia is not KL and KL is not Malaysia....
Its good Wuqi cause we all stand to benefit from any upswing in the real estate in JB

I purchased the corner lot. Our row has around 10 link house units, with 6 to 7 units from corner/end lot to another end lot. The price ranges around RM480-520K for corner lots. End lots can fetch around RM430+K and intermediate lots were priced at around RM390+K. From what I gather most if not all the corner lots have been sold.
We were told that sales is pretty slow at the moment due to the hungry ghost month and Ramadhan (and soon Hari Raya).
Btw they've already started building the next set of show houses (semi-D and units from Phase 8B) when we visited the sales office recently, but they couldn't tell us when the launch for those units will take place though.
Last edited:
Sure, yes. Its looking to be different now.
For some, its no real difference as they have one unit just for own stay.
For me though no real difference for reselling as the properties i have here are meant for my kids.
The only good thing for us is probably the rental market.
