Recent Development in JB and the Future Impact

[tonychat]

JB is profiteering from the typical sinkie mentality of wanting to get away from sinkapore yet don't want to get away from sinkapore.

Want to go, go far. Move to JB not here not there then kena screwed by both sides.

Well said!!!!!!!!

went in to recon on last trip and have several impressions:

1. causeway is too obsolete and needs to be overhauled. if it's a 6-lane bridge with world-class iconic architecture, it will enhance both sides and smooth traffic flow. allowing seawater to flow under bridge will also help the marine ecosystem and keep greenish algae away. the entire stretch of johor straits looks very unhealthy for marine life, not only for humans.
2. the tuas link design is better, and i prefer the smoother flow of traffic on that side of the freeway. however, more and more commuters have the same idea and are jumping on the tuas bandwagon.
3. the only landscaping that is impressive is in and around the iskandar compound. all other landscapes in housing estates nearby are sub-standard. no coordination, minimum landscape design, no combination of native shrubs, trees and lawns to accentuate surroundings. very little thought to space, shade, shadows, and color and texture of foliage. a concrete house among a row of concrete houses with zero landscaping is just an ugly house, no matter what the inside looks like.
4. if anyone is using a johor home for more space and outdoor leisure such as sprawling down with pets and kids on a grassy lawn, swimming in a pool, or doing bbq on a patio or deck, i don't see that happening. why get a landed property in jb and cramp into the comfort of aircon in the living room all day and night?
5. food hygiene in eateries and hawker centers is something to be wary of. the hum they gave me for curry mee was not only black and fossilized but also dried up like 100-year old shrunken abalone. and they handled money together with food.
6. central shopping areas could have redeemed themselves if they do away with the traditional 5-foot way and planned and built walkways 5m wide with plants and trees for shade and pavements for benches and alfresco dining. this gor ka ki next to open longkang tradition is obsolete and must go the way of the dodo.

Just some insights. I do know of plenty of Msians working in big factories (Micron, Global Foundries) who can take home $3k plus SGD with OT counted. Most of them don't even have to drive their JB cars in as these factories provide pickup in JB, drop them at both customs to chop passport and direct to the factory. Some who lives further will chip in the petrol and share a car in. Most of them have their own condos or landed properties in JB.

Someone was right when he commented that they hardly spend in Singapore.

The big question now is, with the coastline and JB Sentral slated for development, will we see Old Woodlands Centre transforming into a new private properties haven as well?

No worries. Crash is near. Once Stinkapore crash, JB properties will leong.

Firstly, please keep this thread in Courtyard.

For someone who lives so near to the causeway, the recent development in JB seems disturbing. Through the ads on television, the whole coastline at JB Sentral would be developed into a residential and commercial haven by R & F. For the past 2 Saturdays, there were spectacular fireworks at the JB side. So what the hell is happening?????

From reading the JB folder, it seems that Capitaland also got one leg in the development and those holding properties in JB are now KPKBing. I would do the same if I were them. Excess supply versus limited demand. Will Jb properties nosedived in the next few years? Had wanted to buy a small unit as a holiday home but now, I'm lost :o

A 42 year old Singaporean woman, Madam Wu Bao Mei, has been found dead in her house in Johor with all her valuables gone.

The accounts clerk died under suspicious circumstances as her body had no visible wounds and her home had no signs of struggle or forced entry.

However, all her valuables including her jewellery, money bag, phones and car was missing.

Presently still got affordable landed properties slightly above M$1mill. But understand it may be raised to M$2mil threshold. By tat time u may as well stay put in sinkie pigeon hole till kingdom come. Opps, sorry HDB 99 years. So till HDB kick us out.
