Crest Builder with Latitud8 and selling to reduce gearing
I do not think too highly of developers who are taking their own sweet time when it comes to developments. Common, show some vibrancy and aggressiveness. However, I also think having a very high gearing is quite dangerous and may cause the company to face cashflow issues. In fact investors may not want to buy…

Home buyers? 13 MORE stations from Kelana Jaya LRT Line
The public transportation is improving in the Klang Valley, though slowly. The question is, are the home buyers starting to embrace these changes?

Dual-key may be okay for now, triple-key coming soon?
At least two friends have asked me about the potential for dual-key units in Kuala Lumpur. Actually, if it’s for own stay, I think it makes very good sense for those who would love to stay with their parents but not within the same home. To be honest, I would love to stay nearby my…

KL prime office spaces rental rates on the way down, accelerating too.
To everyone who’s currently working within the KL Central Business District, can you just drop by your finance department and ask them if the company will be saving more money due to lower rentals?

Personally, I love stocks. I think if we buy a good one, its equivalent to a fixed deposit with potential capital appreciation. Nope, I am not talking about buying and monitoring every minute and selling followed by buying again. I have no interest to spend my time this way. Also, there’s no such thing as…

Choices, choices, choices, really.
Cost of living is increasing. I would not want to deny this. However, for those who are earning more than the typical Malaysians, there are choices, really. I wanted to get a Mocca Latte Ice because it was a hot day a few days ago. There were two choices. Either at Library Cafe or Krispy…
