The start of MRT and the rise of properties prices nearby
MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang (Phase 1 of Line 1) has started. It’s 51km in total length with 31 stations. What are we going to do about it? Well, perhaps take advantage of the free ride for one month? Too bad, it’s not yet fully connected to the LRT so that it can bring me to the…

High Speed Rail KL – Singapore. MOU ended, Agreement signed. 🙂
MOU is just a memorandum of understanding. Only this afternoon during lunch, one colleague said, ‘The signing of the High Speed Rail (HSR) between Malaysia and Singapore happening today.’ Another colleague asked, ‘Only signed today? I thought signed long time ago?’ I think we need to be very clear. Typically, for any venture to start,…

MRT Sungai Buloh – Kajang starts on 16th Dec 2016. Fares from RM1.10
I am a believer that connectivity helps economic growth. (Yes, it helps property prices in secondary areas too. Hint Hint. ) This is the reason why KL – Singapore have lots of air connections and in 2022, there would also be a High Speed Rail (HSR) connection too. Greater KL needs more connectivities and MRT…

MRT and rental starts at the same time. Good.
One major reason why Hong Kong’s Mass Transit Railway (MTR) is profitable is because of a good business model; renting. They actually own the buildings on top of all the lines. A famous example, IFC Mall. To those who believe ticket price is enough to cover the expenses, it is not true. Imagine we are…

Another sharing on High Speed Rail KL – Singapore. On 22 August, a JOINT Tender will be called by Malaysia’s MyHSR Corporation Sdn Bhd (MyHSR) and Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA).

MYHSR Corp: Freeze! Can’t sell.
I think many property investors are looking at any High Speed Rail (HSR) news positively. Yes, it will take another 10 years but for those seriously thinking about investing, 10 year should not be when we start to buy. There’s another confirmation on the seriousness of the High Speed Rail KL – SG was reported…
