Iskandar Malaysia’s progress and next decade
A good friend who’s a top management still believe that Iskandar (including JB) is nothing more than just an imagination and that he imagined the whole Iskandar with lots of unsold units which has been built and that buyers would lose all their money. I asked if he has actually been to Iskandar recently and…

Property market Malaysia 2018? Slowdown is slowing down.
Everytime someone prominent say anything about the property market of Malaysia, we should note it down. Slowdown is slowing down means the downtrend in the property market where transactions are concerned is really slowing down. In brief, still dropping but not that sharp a drop anymore, for 2018. This is the comment from property consultant Rahim…

KKIA’s too popular. Expand, definitely. New site, my wish personally.
Do you know that Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) is the second busiest in Malaysia, after Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)? On a yearly basis, I go to Kota Kinabalu 2 times or more. I think it’s full of potential for property investment. In my last trip just 2 months back, I went to IMAGO…

Change or be changed. Not just the banks but us too.
I brought my family to the pasar malam (night market) in Setia Alam last weekend. It was indeed longer than even the Taman Connaught one. After 2 hours of stopping, buying, viewing, eating and drinking, we did not finish walking till the end. We did NOT pay money throughout the night. BOOST was there and…

Overall, Penang is 1,048 km² in size. If it’s just the island part, it’s 293 km². In comparison, Singapore is 719.9 km² in size. It was 581 km2 in 1966. Singapore has thus, grown by 23 percent in size. Well, Penang is growing too and I personally hope Penang can continue to grow in size too. Currently, one…

Gong Xi Fa Cai and Happy Holidays! UP, UP and UP is my wish.
Gong Xi Fa Cai and Happy Holidays to all. I hope everyone drives patiently and arrive in your destination safely. Perhaps this year the jam is lesser because the number of cars on the road in KL was already fewer since 13th February 2018 (Tuesday). On 14th February, it was a breeze to my office…

EPF’s returns? 6.02 pct over past 10 years. 6.37 pct over past 5 years.
I received two Whatsapp messages just yesterday. I really do wonder why people would want to create them and why there are people who love to forward these kind of messages. One came with a photo of the EPF’s building on fire and said something along the lines of “6.9 percent announced yesterday. With this…

Advantages of buying a renovated unit
My first apartment in Penang was a renovated unit. The first owner stayed there for a few years and sold it so that he could stay in the upper floor of his new shop-house instead. The shop-house was just outside the apartment. I think it is a clever move on his part. As for me,…
