Living in JB

[Aisanbo]

Cheaper than Nusajaya area, just concerned, Because if Nusajaya rental is rm2,500 onwards, then what about the rental in Bandar Seri Alam. There are developments like Senibong which are really nice, and can get 500k+

I thought Senibong Cove are only high end ? 500k+ can get terraces?

 

[DREAMorACTION]

Is that the 6-storey/9-storey block? If it is, It sure is a nice place, although bit further in from 2nd link. If u have no concerns about travelling, sure can consider. They have resort facilities, club house etc. off hand, I think price given to me was about 500k. Need to refer back to the brochures to confirm.

is it really a good time to buy now? The Impression @ Sutera Pulai is opening for sale. nice open roof top garden concept. anyone knows the price tag? is their quality good? :o

I think the price may be higher now, but from the article I had shown DreamorAction from 2010, prices were reasonable. Not all high end I think.

I can't seem to find this development online.

Otherwise, ya lor, u will be lonely without good and fun neighbours like us (ahem, I didn't say I will live beside you :p)

Only thing is he did not install CCTV camera cos his uncle stay only next door. Whenever he received SMS alert, he would call hsi uncle to see if there is thunder or not

Sorry bro, did not do that, we went with some estate agents from Singapore, who were not so knowledgeable, but I was really keen to start the exploration.

I will share as much as possible during future visits. This one was first one, hope to make a few more whilst gathering some cash...

Hi brother Gskalra, it's great to know you've also ventured to that part of Johor, I've been to Seri Alam as well as Masai. Will definitely benefit from the new colleges, universities and intentional schools. If 3rd link is connected to PG. Then it's really boom town coming.

 

[pasture8]

By the way, understand that majority of those who bought are Singaporeans who bought most of the corner/end lots and semi-ds. But locals are not buying the intermediate which is slightly below 500K. I counted overall less than 50% take up so far. dont know whats keeping the locals at bay..hopefully it would mean no price increase in the meantime...so u still got time to think about it...but M'sian developers have a knack to increase price eventhough take up is low....i think its a tactic to force the fence-sitters to commit.

cheers.

brother Yonglip, you are partially correct, looking at the whole Nusa Idaman development and not NI:8 alone. Majority of buyers are certainly Malaysian. NI:8 may be the exception if UEM cannot help it

And i believe the answer may be found in this chinese forum: http://cforum3.cari.com.my/viewthread.php?tid=2163855&extra=&page=13

Hi pasture8,

Do you know how much your friend pay for his security system? How much is the monthly fee?

Hi pasture8,

Happy New year CameraMan,

If he remembered correctly, according to the good man, he paid RM1400+ for the security system and another RM600+ to his home electrical installation contractor for the security system wiring up. But he bought his house back in 2004/5... so must factor in inflation.

No subcription type of security system. SIM card. Will SMS your handphone and you can SMS back to deactivate the alarm.

• Nine suspects have been rounded up after a Singaporean was found dead in a village in Masai, Malaysia. (Getty Images file photo)
  
  
  Nine suspects have been rounded up by Malaysian police in connection with the death of a Singaporean kidnapped late last year.
  
  56-year-old Sim Chee Yon was found along the banks of a river in Sungai Kongkong, a small village in Masai, Malaysia’s New Straits Times (NST) reported.
  
  The unemployed Singaporean, whom Malaysian police believe was involved in illegal moneylending activity in the city, was first reported missing on 27 November.
  
  Johor’s police chief Mokhtar Shariff told the NST that a post-mortem confirmed Sim’s death by “suffocation caused by a plastic bag”.
  
  Seven of the nine people believed to be responsible for Sim’s death were arrested on 22 December in a house in the village, while another two were picked up around a city nearby, reported the paper.
  
  Aged between 16 and 52, the nine, including one woman, will be held in police custody until Friday, reported NST.
  
  His body was later found in early December, three weeks before his suspected perpetrators were caught.

 

[ODYSSEY]

why don't we all move to teck's forum, which is dedicated (with different categories for easy searching)?

http://www.iskandarliving.com/forum/index.php

Yeah, it might be a good idea. But I guess most r already very comfortable here. What we can do is to perhaps duplicate those topics that we want to share with others over to IskandarLiving under the appropriate category, this is so that it will be easier for ppl to find information. I think it would be very helpful especially to those who are coming in for the first time. I m already trying to post some over there as well. I remembered how tedious/difficult it was to look for a certain info and sometimes too paiseh to be asking the same questions again. When I came back for my holidays recently I had to go thru every post and the thread was moving faster than I could caught up haha. What do u bros and sisters think, it would be good for everybody?

It seems like a reasonable price that your friend had paid for the system back then. Wonder how much it would be now. I am interested to find out more. However, the only reputable security system specialist that I know of is ADT. Definitely would like to consider other suppliers as well.

sorry, i may have missed the earlier threads.. which bank will be providing financing? sg or my?

i was also having another discussion elsewhere and got this, thought i'd like to share the interest rates in sg/my throughout the history.

for sg, highest was a spike at 20% in the 1990.
http://www.tradingeconomics.com/singapore/interest-rate

for my, they somehow don't have the data dated so long ago.. highest was 3.5 in 2006..
