Looking at comments from both sides, seems that KL-Nusajaya-Tuas is a 99% thing..

There is also specualation that the end terminal wont be at KL Sentral due to the land constraints.

Most likely near Tun Razak Exchange.

Better still, my property is quite near to TR Exchange.

Guess that having a property near a station with good connectivity to the HSR terminal is good enuf.

Too near might have noise and traffic problems

Btw, any bro or sis here have lobang to the Somerset Medini launch?

spore KBW did say its either at the east or west of spore. but i wouldnt bet on the eastern side unless they want it near changi airport which would be very advantages for spore. but they would want senai to grow i suppose.

Not only Land constraints.. KL sentral station almost running 90% capacity. I always travel and stop at KL sentral and its very pack. The KLIA Express depart every 15mins. I dont think they can afford to connect the high speed train to the KLIA express.

I hearing more and more source speculating at SG Besi old military airport.

UK's University of Reading invests RM980m in Iskandar

JOHOR BARU: Iskandar Malaysia received another boost yesterday when one of the UK's top universities, University of Reading, pumped in RM980 million to build its campus in EduCity.

Its vice-chancellor David Bell said the university's first overseas campus will allow the university to bring its rich heritage in quality education to Malaysia and the Asia-Pacific region.

"This will help promote Malaysia as a key education hub in the region," he said, adding that the university is confident of the growth of Asian markets.

Speaking at a press conference after the groundbreaking ceremony of the university's campus here, Bell said the campus, to be known as the University of Reading Malaysia, will be opened in September 2015. It expects to enrol about 400 students in its first-year of operation.

The university is offering programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate level in three thematic subject areas as requested by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), namely business and law, science and pharmacy as well as built environment.

Also present were Iskandar Investment Bhd president and chief executive officer Datuk Syed Mohamed Ibrahim, University of Reading's chancellor John Madejski, University of Reading Malaysia provost and chief executive Professor Tony Downes and MOHE's Private Higher Education Institutions Governance Division director Dr Mohamed Ali Abdul Rahman.

Meanwhile, Bell said the campus will be the latest in a growing band of UK universities in Malaysia, where the students from Malaysia will be able to continue their studies without having to go all the way to UK.

"We are consciously and pro-actively developing this campus to offer the best experience to students, from both the infrastructure side and education delivery."

Spore's City Development Kwek leng Beng says he has some land at dirt cheap price in Iskandar.
He's just waiting for time to ripe!

".....One area which CDL may expand into is in the Iskandar region in Johor Bahru.

Mr Kwek said that may take some time as Iskandar, three times the size of Singapore, is only 20 per cent developed.

Mr Kwek said: "Many of you have you have forgotten that CDL in the old days still has some land within the Iskandar Region which were held at a dirt cheap price you can never dream of buying today. We are looking into this. I want Iskandar to be more developed before I capitalize on this land."

CDL probably will only move in to Iskandar in 2-3 years' time. It still has quite a number of projects to sustain itself in Singapore.

Thanks! Agree with you .....

This is good news on 2 counts:

1) Iskandar is finally getting the attention of Singapore developers. First CapitaLand and now CDL. More will follow.

2) Mr. Kwek is expecting the prices to keep going North. Given the land was purchased at dirt cheap prices, he may easily capitalize very well at today's prices and with the kind of market sentiments. He may actually get a premium for being CDL. However, he wants to wait ........

As excited as I am, i dont think they are open yet. Before you guys head down, make sure it is open. Looks like they are just beginning to create their website. I hope it opens soon though.

I hope they hire some hot waitresses ......
