Many years ago, when i was staying in the west, can hear the motar bombs at a distance at Murai training grounds. bearable...i rem happen once a while, not everyday..i think during major exercise when they use all live ammos....once they start developing the Tengah side for housing, i suppose all these got to be reduced further also..i think eventually samma live firings either at offshore islands or overseas...in Sing, every inch of land maciam gold.

brother yonglip,

thanks for the nostelgic reminder. i remember days of yore after firing off those mortar rounds in the SAFTI live firing area, in the still of the night, sitting atop our armoured mortar carrier, we can hear the distant "disco party"-ing from the NTU campus, can even see the occasional "disco" light flickering...while we are camping out at the knoll feeding mosquitos.

Apply to NTU, kena rejected - KNN ! Bo pian after working for a couple of years and part-time giving tuition at night and on weekends post ROD, went over to UK for my studies...on a partial limpeh scholarship. Those were the days, young blooded and full of energy :cool:

hi can i find out if the pple from singapore buying are mainly chinese, malays or expats?

Why? Is this important?

Many Many Singaporeans might think that those who dare to buy house and stay in Malaysia are either;
1) Singaporean Malays
2) Expats working in Singapore

So, hope we are able to prove those Singaporeans wrong(by revealing that most of us are Singaporean Chinese).
Let them 'Da kai yen jie'(big open eye world) and stop being a 'sua ku'(mountain tortoise) OR 'sua teng lang'(mountain top people) OR 'frog in a well'(no need to translate lah).

The Malay Race Is Truly A Very Gracious One - Humble and Helpful

No matter what people may say, I want to put it in writing to say that the Malays here and in Malaysia are by and large a very gracious, humble and helpful people. They are very polite people. approachable and renders help immediately irregardless of who you may be.
They are also very good in sports and the entertainment industry.
I like to encounter two past encounters with them that led to me to come to my conclusion. One was an encounter on land in malaysia and the other at sea. Incidentally both incidents concerned Malays from Malaysia.

Land Encounter:
Once I was driving towards Kelantan and had an encounter with very friendly, helpful and concerned Malays from the nearby kampong. My old junkie car got over-heated. My friends and me went to a nearby stream close to a Malay kampong. In so doing we had to enter the well-swept, clean and green Malay Kampong. I was holding a plastic jerry can. There was a pondok (communal hut) nearby and some Malay elders were seating there having their cigarettes. They saw us walking up. One of them, the oldest immediately stood up with an unsteady gait asked us what was wrong. When we related our problems to him, he immediately called some young people from the kampong and told them to get water from the well. The youngsters obeyed his command and assisted us in refilling the hot radiator.
In the menatime, we were given teh-o and some kueh by the kampong ladies. We were all touched by their gesture, especially when they heard that we are from Singapore and that Singaporeans are good people.

Sea Encounter:
Many years ago, I accompanied my friend in his Dynaglass Fishing Boat from 14 ms Sembawang End and headed towards the direction of Ponggol End. Half way through the benzine for the outboard motor dried up. Not realising that the oil was gone, my friend kept switching the ignition key until the carbon inside the starter gave way. Having connected the fuel-hose to the second jerry can of benzine, he tried starting the engine frantically by using the pulley cord. Many attempts failed and the miserable cord gave way too. Menawhile our boat was drifing dangerously towards Pasir Gudang and into the direction of huge vessels that may be coming into the ports of Semabwang and Pasir Gudang. It was already dark. We used the torchlight to shine out to sea. A small sampan (fishing boat) appeared. The Malay man on board, a Malaysian offered help. The engine could not start. He then used his boat and started to pull us towards Ponggol coastline. He was very close when the flashing lights of a Singapore Coastguard vessel was seen. We were stopped and an inspection carried out. We told the policemen on board about what happened. They thanked the Malay man and advised him to go back to his waters, which he did. Prior to that we wanted to give him $50 for all his help. He refused, smiled and told us that as humans we have to help one another, especially at sea. The gentleman then disappaered in the darkness.
All this and many other incidents of help from the Malay community has proven that the Malays are indeed a very gracious people.Courtesy begets courtesy. Speak to the Malay Immigratiion and Kastams people with respect and they will surely reciprocate. Be rude to them and you too will get bad treatment.

rest assured, nothing to worry about, hear only about once a month, may be even two months apart, usually a nite exercise, very seldom a dawn exercise, a few mortar explosions. never disturb my daily living and sleeping. birds on the trees dun seem to find the noise a nuisance. may be they are used to it too.
I dont know if the live firing exercise across the tiny strip of sea between this part of Nusajaya and Spore will affect the daily affair of those residing or working in these Medini offices which are high rise and perhaps less than 5km away from the live firing. Already, Leisure Farm residents have confirmed that the noise could be heard. If thats the case, then I think this will be a major hiccup when there are occupants.

Hi Pasture,

Sorry miss out on your info on the showroom which I ask the same question again.

Seems like there is a lake at 8B. Must be very nice

No problem Okane,

Yes, the NI lake is situated in precicnt 8. Thought i read somewhere the perimeter is 4.8Km but it seems to me more like 2.4Km. A ballpark estimation, it is roughly half the size of pungol park. But then again visual estimation may not be accurate. Having said that, the lake lends a soothing ambience with the gentle splashing sound of its two fountains.

But will have to think of ?maintenance and ?servicing. :confused:

I've been searching for property in Skudai and anyone has tips? Just found this forum today.

Past few days I've been corresponding with one medini and it appears their reply always less than what I expected.
It seems like they are not very keen to answer the questions and always reply with standard template.


anyway this is the latest compiled reply:
The selling price range for 1 Medini is RM390 to RM450psf.

The show gallery will be opened by next month.
Official sales launch: Jan 2012
Available type: A, B & D

I'm not sure whether this development as a good choice as the region is pretty much under development.

Many thanks B Seri, even though I don't understand since I only travel Second Link lol, but it's for benefit of others, so hopefully he/she familiar enough with area to understand.

teck21, crystal taught me this. if you have gps, set it to tune hotel. once you see it, you will see a big sign saying nusajaya (can't miss it). after that you should hit the new coastal highway soon.

I'm a late comer but would appreciate if someone can share their wealth knowledge.
I intend to own a house nearby Singapore for retirement (probably in 20 years time). However buying a house and leave it empty doesn't seem to be a good idea.

so my ideal would be to buy house/condo/etc which I can rent it out to fetch at least least equal interest yield as the housing interest itself (but that doesn't seem possible in new development such as Skudai).

Can someone advice me which development that fits the above purpose:
- foreigners eligibility
- potential for renting out

thanks..
