1 Utama E (600,000 sq ft NEW extension) and FULL MRT link opened
I learnt the hard way when I tried the MRT from Sg. Buloh to 1 Utama a couple of weeks ago. I had to walk for at least 500 metres I think to reach 1 Utama mall. It was 2pm in the afternoon and well, I had to cool down when I arrived. From today…

Equity is a very attractive proposition. HSR bid by Japan.
High Speed Rail (HSR) between Malaysia – Singapore has attracted many potential bidders. The ultimate winner is still pretty far away but one such potential bidder has announced to the world that it will offer a substantial equity participation to local partners if it is the successful bidder. This potential bidder is from Japan. Its Japanese…

Travel to SG whether flights or HSR
Do we know how connected is Kuala Lumpur (KL) to Singapore (SG)? Referring to skyscanner.com.my, there are a total of 357 flights from KL to SG per week. That’s 51 per day. Taking out 8 hours of sleeping time, that’s still nearly 3 flights per hour. In other words, we may have a flight every…

JB is right after KL. Homes still too expensive.
Every time people ask me if Iskandar’s in trouble due to oversupply, my reply is the same. It depends on whether the oversupply is going to crash the market or is the demand growing at the same time as well. These are two very different things yeah. Oversupply does not automatically lead to property bubble…

MRT 3 by Chinese / Japanese consortium (build and finance), probably.
This is quite a big news. It seems that MRT Line 3 will now be built via the build and finance way instead of the Project Delivery Partner way as per MRT SBK (Line 1) or MRT SSP (Sungai Buloh – Serdang – Putrajaya). Here’s that news in TheStar. This decision has rattled the share price…

Awards tell us that we are on the right track BUT..
Many times, it’s great to win awards. It gives us a certain level of recognition for something done right. For many property developers, an award also helps in selling the properties even if they know people do not buy simply because the development has an award. Speaking of international awards, did you know that our…

Sungai Buloh MRT a catalyst to nearby developments
Sungai Buloh is an area considered ‘very far’ from the KL city centre. Not for me but for most of my friends, it is such. As usual, my comparison is always based on an area to KLCC Park at Jalan Ampang. Do take a look at the google map image. Assuming one were to start…

We need FULL connectivity. I wonder who’s responsibility?
My kids were very excited to take the MRT. It was their first time on a ‘train’ here in Malaysia. They have taken the MRT in Singapore before. I parked my car at the Sungai Buloh MRT station (RM4.50 parking fee per day) and took the MRT to the MRT Bandar Utama station with my…

2024 is a good year indeed. Even earlier would be even better
Actually, I finished writing this article some time back. However, the mobile app and my MacbookAir had a ‘fight’ and I ended up without an article. I am thus rewriting this. To me this is a very important piece of news, especially for both Iskandar, Malaysia and Singapore’s SMEs. I have written much earlier that I…

MRT is a great option BUT not for everything and every situation lah
Dear friends, I love the opening of MRT SBK. Seriously. I have been writing and trying to persuade everyone to give it a try. Save more money with it. Then invest those savings. However, please do not come and tell me that it is a ‘cure for all.’ Especially to the one who said that…
