Interesting thoughts from everyone. I work in oil and ags, so agree with anyone who says Malaysian Ringgit weakness is not over. I didn't realise the MAS policy is to accomodate the MYR..I always thought it had a relative peg to the US$, with a basket of local currencies. If that is the case, in SE Asia, Malaysia remains the most vulnerable as it lacks the ooomph Indonesia has with population.
Anyway, this is a hard thing to call, just got my loan approved for the Southern Marina project and really wavering on committing. Undoubtedly Iskandar has oversupply...but this it the Puteri Harbour thread, not Medini or JB. It seems a good buy to me, for occasional homestay. In ten years (heck, in 4) this place must surely be the absolute pick. For anyone in JB, you would have thought this would be an aspirational place in contrast with Central or Danga Bay etc.
So - what do forumers think? Run, screaming for the hills, or a good buy at the right point (misery) of the cycle. Everyone always says, be greedy when people are fearful and I smell plenty of fear in the Iskandar property world....
Hi all, with the flame war going on about general Iskandar property, my question got buried!
I am really interested in people's thoughts....PH Southern Marina a good project, or overshadowed by the bearishness on Malaysian property?
Thanks
