I think it’s clear that I support any transport masterplan for Penang. As long as the plans would contribute to the growth of Penang, by all means please do it. Jams are starting to get annoying and a close friend who had just moved from Penang to KL told me that she needs lesser time…

One colleague who’s active in cycling and hiking was telling a few of us over lunch that one of his favourite place for hiking called Kundang would be developed. I looked at him and asked, ‘Where’s Kundang?’ Haha. Yes, I really did not know. Take a look at where Kundang is in the image. Using…

RM1.4 billion new launchings in H2 by Naza TTDI

I personally remain skeptical that sentiment can suddenly turn positive because of a cut in OPR by 25 basis points. However, this cut will help to convert a few people who were still considering into buying a home and I think this is what our BNM governor have in his mind. It will also allow…

in MRT LRT ECRL HSR etc

I think the High Speed Rail (HSR) is a very important “connection”for Malaysia and Singapore. Let’s not debate on which country would have more benefits. Seriously, we need to look at a bigger picture. Both countries remain small by ASEAN standards. Today, we achieved a new milestone. An MoU was signed between both the countries…

Well, 2016 is going to be ‘slower’ year for Malaysia according to AffinHwang Capital Research. As per reported in NST, it is…

For those in the Klang Valley, when we buy a home sweet home, always make sure there’s a supermarket nearby. A mall is less important than a place for grocery shopping. My serious personal opinion. Coming back to the topic of today. Sometimes don’t we wonder what’s really happening to the supermarket scene in Malaysia?…

My wife said Rawang is very far away 3 years ago when we were scouting for a new condo. We were looking for a bigger place after staying in Kelana Puteri for 1 year. I had just moved to KL over three years ago and moved in to Kelana Jaya which I had bought many…

LRT with a sudden boost in ridership needs to keep up

by

I believe public transport will help elevate more secondary areas into ‘acceptable’ and in future to be ‘desirable’ locations. This is so important for some of us who could not afford expensive properties and yet wants a home sweet home. We should not only have those few loved areas all the time. This is Klang…
