agree, i went to JB 3 months ago and weal slipper, jean and shirt w/o any watch and wallet, scary niah, always keep low profile...

 

this friday maybe going there to view house or location.

 

intend to have a cozy home there during weekend, singapore too stress

 

but of course if buy house there must install camera, alarm and trellis also gate

 

safety first

 

Dont forget a Gurkha guard in front n back of your house too.

Better don't lah, wait they can't recognize or you pissed them off, one will still be robbed but plus a bash.

yup, you're very right. Not exactly near.

[Pisces69]

That is better idea

what about register a malaysian company with name of malaysian wife and the company own the property?

 

That is also 1 way to skin that damm cat.

 

But if u already got a Msian wife, might as well just put in her name. Got Bumiputra status summore I think its 20% discount on many houses.

Talking about Otah, have you guys tried the Pork Otah?

 

Regards,

 

are u serious?

 

from where?

[Pisces69]

got area in jb more chance to appreicate?

 

Dont expect the price to go up n down like SG houses. There is more for living n less for speculation.

 

Prices r much more stable.

Yes, I saw it at 锦合Deluxe Circle FreshMart (Taman Tan Sri Yacob, opposite Best Mart) last weekend. It is their new house brand product...Frozen one, so you have to cook it. FYI, 锦合 is their local fresh pork specialist.

 

Thinking of buying it later and try.

which is what house is meant to be.

There was a hearsay that some atas properties here actually employed Gurkha Guards. I wonder how true?

Precisely. Unfortuantely, in Singapore, HDB flat is a political tool.

[Pisces69]

Got Halal or not?

 

[Kelpie]

Got Halal or not?

 

That fresh mart specificially mentioned that it is a non halal supermart.

 

The strange thing is, I still see Malay shopping in there though just a few. I assume they are buying halal only product.

 

May be I can take a photo and post it either tonight or later. I can't remember how much is per pack.

Erm..actually depending on who are the developer of the estates. There are locations that I won't say there will be high appreciation but sorta hold their value quite well.

 

I, for sure not buying a house for the purpose of appeciation. If the estate is secured, well managed and maintained, I would be happy.

 

Some friends of mine including the locals, only believe in renting not buying in JB.

 

Regards,

 

In Johor u must b very careful of cluster housing n condos as the maintenance is only good for the first few years. After that the mgmt team makan all the RM n if new team take over, ty want u to top up RM otherwise ty cannot run. After a few years the same thing wil happen.

 

That is why I prefer a house by itself as I wont need to depend on those mgmt companies to run it.

 

Even those with Gurkha guards, maybe only fr the first few years. After that u see all become locals n inside their bags can peek a few bottles of beer for their "night-snack".
