When the construction is already RM5.1 billion – petroleum refinery
Oil price has been going up. Note that I do not say recovery because based on the usual cost of production, the price of oil should not reach the levels of yesterday. Perhaps the price should just normalise at current level. However, investments into oil and gas sector is continuing. After all, total sales for…

What’s UP and what’s DOWN? My sharing, from readings.

On 5th August 2017 (Saturday), I will be sharing about the topic of “What’s UP and what’s DOWN in the property market.” If you happen to be a reader of kopiandproperty.my and would like to…

Be healthy plus doing charity for Joblink. A little goes a long way.
Many times, we forget how fortunate we are. Many times we want to be healthy but chose to postpone it. Many times we forget that just RM50 could actually help many.

Oversupply need not be all bad lah.
This is something we read everyday. The number of unsold properties seem to be very high. In fact there are always articles quoting some experts which kept telling us about the oversupply situation in Iskandar and that new developments should be stopped. Some say stop for now. For now means for how long? 6 months?…

Health is wealth. Go conquer Mount Kinabalu.
I think some readers of kopiandproperty.my may have noticed that postings were not daily for past few days. Haha. I went on a 5,000 calories hiking. Did not bring my trusted Macbook along. Before we can enjoy our wealth, we need to have our health. True, yeah? In November 2016, I was 83kg, going towards…

Whatever works for you, do it well. That’s all.
A colleague was talking about how awful AirAsia was. Seats are more cramped than many airlines and in recent months, they (AirAsia) have been weighing all cabin luggages and would charge any additional weight above 7kg. She said that she saw how one angry male passenger took out 7 T-shirts and 2 pants from his…

Cheapest still, apartment rental in KL. (higher end market, not affordable ones)
How cheap is it to work in KL and renting a place not too far away from office? I think it is still cheap if not affordable. Reason? There are plenty of choices which meant that the homeowners are not the most powerful when it comes to bargaining power. Well, unless of course that property…
