Yes, it’s officially BREXIT instead of BREMAIN
My article on this earlier. Brexit and UK property market – Wall Street journal. It has ended. Nope I am not talking about the UK economy. I am talking about the referendum. It’s over, the people have voted and the UK will exit European Union. By the way, it will not be happening next week.…

Iskandar: Let’s quickly have a BRT working shall we?
First of all, I still think more links would be useful FIRST if Iskandar is to be the choice for more middle income Singaporeans or Malaysians with Singapore PRs. Not many would be crazy enough to use 4 hours daily just to travel to work and back. Moving one step further though, for Iskandar to…

Protect Penang’s Heritage buildings for the future generations
One major reason why Penang looks majestic to many tourists is because it has lots of heritage buildings. Taking photos with these buildings meant a photo which may look like a postcard picture.

Decathlon in Sri Damansara, worth a visit definitely.
Another small reason why buying a home within Damansara is good. Haha. Specifically, within Sri Damansara. Small reason lah, not major reason. This is what Decathlon said in its Facebook opening remarks: At Decathlon we have 50 sports under 1 roof. It’s the ultimate sports shopping experience! Hiking, running, swimming – we have it all,…

Mah Sing focussed on offering affordable options
My first apartment in Penang was under the affordable category, at RM123k. For the past couple of years, Penang state government classifies the affordable category as properties which are below RM400,000. I agree with their assessment as I think for KL I would rate anything below RM500,000 to be affordable. In fact when we look…

LRT Penang, positive signs from SPAD.
This is a piece of news which is positive for Penangites and me. Seriously, Penang needs a LRT. The jams are getting heavier by the day. Okay, if it’s a tram, I guess it is still okay but having visited cities with LRTs instead of trams, I think I favour LRT more. I also think…
