Sounds like my wife, lol. Maybe I should do same with my wife. Anyway we are thinking of checking out various childcare/nursery/enrichment facilities there.
LG: What I mean is that going to HH is very fast using the coastal highway if driving, but driving back to SG was a much longer drive because we couldn't take the coastal highway back the same way we came from.
Hi LG,
My personal feel is you are not ready to live/compute in JB yet. your kid us too young and parent too old.. and you are too new to Malaysia... whether property will rise or fall is who guess... take your time..

Hi LGLab,
My humble 2 cents is to book a hotel room in hotels like Pariss hotel and stay there for a few days.Both on weekdays and on weekends.
That way, you will stay over in Johore while going to SG when necessary. It will simulate living there and is a relatively inexpensive way
to try things out by seeing if you would like it or can get used to it. It will allow you to view things from a resident perspective rather than
a shoppers perspective as it forces you to look at things or amenities you normally wouldn't as a "shopper"
Try it out for a few days and see whether you like it. I did this many times, in Sutera mall area (J Hotel) as i was guaging to see how happy
my family would like staying in that area. In the end, still Bukit Indah area suited them more hence in the end (Eurorich hotel), here we are.

Agree, the kid is too young may really be showstopper if no one to help take care, parents are old and cannot help.
Parents old though = This place is totally suitable as fresh air and availability of cheaper yet comparable medical care will help alleviate any ongoing medical costs greatly.

I must agree with your observation.
1) If you do not drive, HH is quite a distance from public transport. If you drive and leave HH at 6:30am, should be in office by an hour.
2) child below 3 years normally has to go through check-up etc , that is another transport woe.
3) all members of family must be mentally prepared for the big move once you sign on dotted line.
4) try out on rental is wise even for a year, I doubt there is any short rent like a month.

Agree, hotels are cheaper and shorter periods. I tend to book one near the area i am thinking of buying.
Its my way of scouting out the lay of the land and to see if there was anything we overlooked .
Directors can be foreigners but they must have a residential address in MY.
Nowadays a Sdn Bhd company can be 100% foreign-owned but if you need a work permit then there are some conditions to fulfill.

Good wife you have there. Avoid bringing them to the dark side....
Its too late for me (Wuqi being slowly dragged by sisters, wife clawing on the floor in desperation)
Save yourself!!! I would be dragged with them, to the depth of shopping mania later.

Actually disagree with the grades suffering, maybe development a bit. I have seen hordes of MY kids going into Singapore to study.
If anything, the long journey reinforces their determination to be better and i can see that they tend to strive harder with fire in their
bellies.
Sometimes a little hardship toughens the kids, these days kids are too soft. Everything they want instant, instant gratification, easy this, easy that.
We need to ask ourselves sometimes, the kids we are developing in Singapore these days, learning under so much pressure, learning so many things at once and maintain high grades. Are they really educated despite going through all the hardship, lugging heavy bags, etc?
In the end, these well "trained" kids have to compete for the same jobs as kids from other countries who may have taken a slower/gentler and not as taxing route. Why do we need to stress our kids so much so that in the end they have to compete with people who didn't need to go through all of this (yet are good enough to be deemed suitable to compete for jobs with them.)

Yes it is really easy now. Work permits, you need a minimum capitalization for the company as well as other conditions to fulfill.
Getting licenses for specific things like education though is the hard part.
the intermediate at NI also going around this price. but NI is bigger. But I'm a bit concerned with the 1-layer security. When I asked about the recent robbery in Precinct 5, I was not given an answer. Is this gateway unit a resale or from developer?

For those interested, just saw an email from UEM Land that they are launching the next Phase of Melody Park. They will be called Pavillion Villas and price will range from 2.9M to 3.8M. The soft launch is on Dec 10.
Couldn't help but notice the LaSenza Lingerie shop selling the 2 Bras for RM100!....i could be wrong but i thought i normally see them like 3 for $10 type at Pasar malam!?..hahaha.
wear inside one already so ex...cannot imagine the wear outside one!.
let's say if i loan 80%... and some years down the road, i have accumulated a sum of money and want to pay off one lump sum, would it be possible? the idea is to save on the interest.
i recently paid the balance 60k loan from cpf and i now don't owe hdb a cent, and in the process, saved about 5k of interest (feel-good even though i still don't get to see it anyway).
for properties in malaysia, does it also work this way?

It should work the same, attractive loan packages lock the borrower in for a certain period, with penalties or clawback of certain incentives (if any) should borrower redeem in part or in full.
Varies from loan package to loan package.
Good for you, there are lots of choices abound. Avoid JPO if you want your sanity.
may i know where is JPO ?
