Living in JB

Hey bro Whoami,

Ok, found it:

Last paragraph:
Approval from the government’s Foreign Investment Committee won’t be needed when a property owned by a Bumiputera is sold to an ethnic minority investor for less than 20 million ringgit, Najib said. Foreigners won’t need FIC approval to buy properties for more than 500,000 ringgit, up from 250,000 ringgit, he said.

Interesting read on the FIC.

Found this one, so its not a rumour after all.

(c) Guideline on the acquisition of properties:
•Going forward, FIC will only process transactions involving the dilution of Bumiputera interests and / or Government interests in properties valued at RM 20 million and above, whether bought directly or indirectly (through acquisition of companies owning properties);
•All other property transactions shall no longer require the approval of FIC;
•Except in the event of a dilution, as stated above, foreign interests will no longer be required to apply for approval to FIC for the acquisition of properties. However, foreign interests cannot acquire properties below specified threshold limits. The threshold amounts for commercial properties will be RM 500,000. For the purchase of residential properties, the present threshold of RM 250,000 is maintained until the end of 2009, and with effect 1 January 2010, it will be RM 500,000;

Tks bro.

Dont really have much time left to work on my budget i.e.to beat the end 2009 deadline. By then only Semi D or Cluster bunglow available for foreigners like us because terraces normally cost below 500K....:(

Hey bro, don't worry, take heart. You actually don't need that much. Which property got your fancy? Danga? You can borrow up to 90% from banks. Although most will tell you only 85% but you can actually get it for higher than that. There is still some time before the cut off date but yes, after the cutoff, it will be increasingly difficult for people to move there.

Oh wow, this is serious, punggol for so much? I wonder how my sons would be able to finance this if they turn out to be average joes. Ok, at least i will be able to leave for them a home each should things turn out bad.

I have the same sentiments.

Well, you know. IF sinkie are a little lot smarter, they will not vote themselves to become a slave. You are smart to unslave yourself. so you are not the average joe and your sons and daughters who got your genes are neither as well.

ermm...

tell that to CB kia tonychat 1st ok..

btw shouldn't this be under folder 'emigration matters'??

 

[wuqi256]

I have the same sentiments.

I wonder how would the next generation do, 10-20 years from now. By then probably some nicer pigeon holes would probably surpass the 1million mark.

I am concerned about the opening of a resort with casino(Danga bay) just opposite SG which basically spells certain doom for our IRs here. Maybe its just me but i believe that things will not be rosier here even after the 2 casinos are up. Housing on Sentosa cove is like in "lelong" mode right now.

Thanks, i sincerely hope my kids will do well but more importantly, i want them to be happy above all else. Financially or not, it doesn't really matter as long as they are happy.

While we continue to forge on in the name of progress and financial success, what are we teaching our kids beyond the dollars and cents? Its no wonder that our old folks are continually being abandoned or forgotten. Chucked away like some old equipment after outliving their usefulness. Some videos i find very meaningful:

Peace to everyone.

Yes, i initially just wanted to discuss this as a place to live but its becoming a migration thread. Do you know how to move it?

Sam, could you help us move this thread to emigration folder?

 

[potato29]

What kind of fantasy are u talking about? Car forced into oil palm plantation on his way home? U fucking retard, how many times does that happen? Did it happen to u? Are u talking from experience? Did u like it when they raped your asshole in the backseat?

his fantasy is to be rape by minahs.

 

[UpYoz_olo]

Yes. Alot of happening coming along the way. A 38 storey condo coming up soon at M$500 psf up. Thought I heard its freehold? I will be going this weekend for a 2nd look. Will try to check on-site.

Understand Ledang Heights and East Ledang area all classic. Selling all above M$1million and above. As for Horizon area, u are right. Semi-D kosong. Developer recommend Nusa Idaman/Bukit Indah area. But quite far from 2nd link and causeway too.

Just refer to latest pigeon hole prices at Ponggol area. Really die cock stand. Cant imagine 5 - 10yrs time what will be the price of 4-rm flats here?? Seriously have to consider 2nd home elsewhere...

http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking+News/Singapore/Story/STIStory_423628.html

Oztralia and NZ bery good 2nd home. Simi ma wu; gold, gas, opal, oil, sheilas etc... If you had been quick hand quick leg when the $ is << S$ and choop a place there few mths back, now sitting on huge paper gain...

Obviously you ve not.

:oIo:

:oIo:

Ayah. Not everyone like u mah. What paper gain? Not everyone buy properties to speculate or make short gain money. Money where got enough. I intend to settle somewhere very near Spore where my sibling are staying. Thats why JB is very appropriate for me. Oz or NZ definitely not in my list.

Bro, not only pigeon holes prices going sky high. How about the cost of lliving? It just doesnt go in tandem with majority salaries earned.

We need a shelter. Basic needs. And yet the garment keep telling us present pigeon holes still affordable. What does he mean by affordablity??? Fcuking 4rooms already costing $300K. What if after serving loan for couple of years, got retrenched, so what next? Work as a security guard?

True, its getting uncomfortable, even for those getting a relatively higher salary, above 10k, etc. The wife still must work even at this level for moost people. With the increase in pressure from all fronts, no wonder i see more and more frustrated faces in the crowds daily. Yes, thats the life i want to avoid, being a security guard when i become old.

Since sinkies vote for that, they deserve it. ANd since sinkies are politically stupid, they totally deserve it too. ANd And since sinkies are totally balless, they well surely 100% deserve it.

thailand deserve their title for being the world's no. 1 exporter of prostitutes..

u deserve your title of chee bye kia tonychat:oIo::oIo:

 

[SamuelStalin]

Fellow countrymen, i am fed up with the system and uprooting my family to JB. My friends are doing the same

This is my plan:

Get a couple of higher end properties for around 200k, example near to golf course, etc. Get properties with at least 3 layers of security. Secure your place with additional CCTV cameras etc. Live there and continue working in SG. Take morning express bus to Jurong East and take MRT or park your car there beforehand so you can continue from Jurong East by car:
http://www.handalindah.com.my/latest.php

Places like Mont Calista, Horizon hills and others are just good examples. Especially Horizon Hills as its a very integrated place. A Chinese primary school, international school, shops are all there inside the secured compound.

It also has a full 18 hole golf course and my parents and siblings were amazed.
It really took us a total of 15 minutes to the place and its very nice and close to all amenities. I am taking my keys to my 2nd unit there and i must say, its really nice with a nice resort feel. The golf course and olympic sized pool helps too.

Mont Calista is great too, lots of space and very big.

You say you have lived for a few years in the United States and even Europe didn't you dude? So why do you in the end, opt for Malaysia?

What are you talking about really? It's all a matter of fiscal and needs and wants management seriously.
