Another 5 theme parks in Iskandar?
How many theme parks do we need to have in Iskandar before it’s too many? I think this is a subjective question right? If there are five water theme parks within the same area, that’s too much. If there are five different theme parks with different entertainment value, it should still be okay. What about…

Sold for faster development of Senai Airport City
First of all, anyone with a huge piece of land thinking of an even bigger development should not think of doing it alone. It may be better to get more partners which can each offer different expertise, financial resources and thus creating diversity. Senai Airport City Sdn Bhd (SACSB) which is the master developer of…

Not 6.9 million please. Plan for 10 million.
Whenever anyone debated with me on Iskandar, I always ask them this question. IF Singapore were to hit the 6.9 million target in terms of population, where would the new population be staying? Within the same island of Singapore? Look at the HDB prices of today. Can it continue to take the pressure of demand…

Waterfront with view of Singapore, interested?
RM880 psf is not considered exceptionally high if it is nearby KLCC. However, mention Iskandar and everyone would look at you disbelievingly. RM880 psf, today? Are you out of your mind? There are way too many condos there already. Furthermore this is a luxuriuous one, who would be staying there? Why not buy in Singapore…

Yes, if LINKS are provided, I think Iskandar is okay.
A reader commented on my latest article about Iskandar as crap. Haha. It’s okay, we must accept all comments as constructive. He said that if given a choice, he would use S$400,000 to buy in many other international countries, for example a landed property in Australia or even in Lisbon which comes with automatic citizenship.…

No way that Singaporeans / Malaysians in Singapore staying in Iskandar.
A friend told me the other day that I am wrong about my expectations that Singaporeans or even Malaysians working in Singapore buying homes in Iskandar just because a few more bridges are built. Even if it’s 30 minutes, it’s too much effort. Huh? I just came back from Singapore and from my office there…

Iskandar property? Definitely not an easy time.
It’s not easy for Iskandar Malaysia these days. Any news are most of the time negative. Latest one which was widely reported in all medias would be the cancellation of Asian Trade Centre by UEM-Sunrise. This would have been a huge catalyst project in Gerbang Nusajaya. According to Chief Executive of the Iskandar Regional Development…

Buy Iskandar today or tomorrow, still a gamble?
Iskandar is a hot topic these days but the contents are all about how ‘cold’ the market is. Take a look at a photo shared to me via WhatsApp recently. It originated from a website called fakemalaysianews.com After my friend sent the photo to me, I told him that perhaps the next photo would be…

From most polluted to ‘Venice of the East’.
Yes, an online article in propertyguru.com.my said that one of the most polluted rivers in Johor will be transformed into the ‘Venice of the East’ once it’s cleaned up. This is part of a RM2.5 billion revitalisation project by Riverside Terra Sdn Bhd. The river is Sungai Danga. The aim is simple. This ‘Venice of…

Havoc Hartanah Iskandar Malaysia – Perception versus Reality
If we do not know why we buy at the time we bought, it’s no longer investment. It’s gambling or speculating. If it was because our friends bought and thus we bought, that’s called following, blindly. Both are very far away from what should be a calculated investment. Thus, knowledge is essential. Understanding is critical.…
