Health is wealth. Go conquer Mount Kinabalu.
I think some readers of kopiandproperty.my may have noticed that postings were not daily for past few days. Haha. I went on a 5,000 calories hiking. Did not bring my trusted Macbook along. Before we can enjoy our wealth, we need to have our health. True, yeah? In November 2016, I was 83kg, going towards…

China’s capital control and Chinese buyers for Forest City
We should not rely only on Chinese buyers for the property market. In fact if the percentage of foreign buyers ever reach 30 percent of the total transactions, we should be worried. At this moment fortunately their purchases are limited to the more luxury ones and not the affordable ones which are for Malaysians. Just…

Whatever works for you, do it well. That’s all.
A colleague was talking about how awful AirAsia was. Seats are more cramped than many airlines and in recent months, they (AirAsia) have been weighing all cabin luggages and would charge any additional weight above 7kg.

Cheapest still, apartment rental in KL. (higher end market, not affordable ones)
How cheap is it to work in KL and renting a place not too far away from office? I think it is still cheap if not affordable. Reason? There are plenty of choices which meant that the homeowners are not the most powerful when it comes to bargaining power. Well, unless of course that property…

BBCC : Construction work started, 2021 for mall.
Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC) is definitely a huge development within a hot location. Okay, it was a former prison ground. That’s going to be the past and when it’s completed, after a while, the newer generation would not even remember or note that it was formerly a prison. BBCC has a gross development value of…

Landed, branded and starts from RM621,800?
If you are working in KL and wants a landed property close to city centre, this is not the property for you. For the price, the distance can’t be too near to KLCC lah. However, if you really like landed and do not mind some driving to work everyday while your family is enjoying themselves…

Buy a Tesla or buy a micro-flat? Both similar ‘sized’
In my last trip to Hong Kong just weeks ago, I was wondering why were there so many Teslas in Hong Kong. My colleague told me that there were tax waivers for electric cars and Tesla was monopolising all the sales against all other brands. The tax waiver has ended, thus the sales for Tesla…

Consolidation is good. Huge debts means high risks. (Always a balance)
I am a conservative person. (Nope, nothing to do with wearing something less sexy etc. Haha) Conservative with my views about money. If I can afford a RM100k car, I would think for a very long time, evaluate all cars and then buy a RM80,000 car instead. I think my parents gave me this kind…

Bitcoin auction by South Korean government. Interesting.

Of course, the uptrend has nothing to do with the interview. 🙂 The latest price as per google is…
