Living in JB

[Batok Seri]

I do not mind houses putting a cross or any other religious logos hanging outside their house or roof. I feel that its a religious freedom. However I must say the particular family in Gateway has

"overdone" it. The cross is simply over-sized and even though its not offensive, it may turn off potential investors or pious muslims etc esp the bumis. I know for sure Spore malays wont mind as we are quite open about it.



Maybe we can hear from some in-house bumis such as Botak Seri and their candid assessment. If Botak can accept, I am sure the rest should be ok. But I myself think that the size should be reduced by 80%.

It doesn't offend my religious sensitivity as much as my aesthetic sensitivity.
A cross that size and lit in red is a bit over the top but then again who knows they may have had vampyric visitations and the security guards failed to call first before letting the pale fanged ones in..

My concern on the suicide is there are many unhappy and desperate people living in Singapore.. There is a lack of space and tolerance of failure in Singapore.. One black mark and you are deemed as failure... Once broke or lose your job and you are in trouble living in singapore.. Not a place to have babies for the inadequate, just a place to import as the short cut for population growth..

Hi checkers, i meant to say, not safe from suicides. I would still assume all the deaths in reservoir are suicides than anything else.
I always assumed bodies found from the sea were from neighbouring countries, never Singapore.
The last time someone said to me a body was found in the sea, i automatically assume suicide until he told me the person was
found in a bag.

Brother Arsenal, I was thinking who knows there might be British/American or any European here and it'd be interesting. And indeed, I am surprised you're from London.

The 3 storey semi D at the golf (HH) is already atleast 1.5 million !! is it still worth it?? 35x80 is only 2800 sq feet. Semi D was like 700k one or 2 years ago right? Any view please.

 

[2bFree]

Yes, Unifi is now available to all Precincts in HH

Wow, can residence in gateway subscribe to such service?

 

[Icyraine]

For HH the golf precinct, is it south golf- north golf, or is it east golf -west golf? HH website showed north- south but i think actually it's called east-west right?

Ya, a brit with singlish accent.. Like to drink beer, eat fish and chip and beat people up after football game..

Wow I'm surprised too. 2 of my cousins are British too as my uncle married an Irish lady and they settled in London for the past 40+ years.
Welcome Mr British. Are you Sg PR or Malaysia PR?
Don't tell me you're the guy complaining in Facebook about your bungalow in The Hills?

Both Bestari Heights and Nusa Bestari are the same developer --- Khoo Soon Lee (KSL). KSL is targeting to build high end residential area in Bestari heights. The 1st launching now is the Cluster house + 1 row Semi-D. In future they will extend and further build all Semi-D at the behind, i believe the price will increase so much at that time. In between Bestari heights and Nusa Duta there is an empty land which will launch Condo in future~ =)

shawnbro....the condo u mentioned is it D'Rich by IJM?. or is it something else by KSL..

cheers.
