These are the mid-level millionaires (or I called it "Ringgit Millionaires")... not the Tropicana Country Resort level yet (mostly CEO and GMs but they could be investors/not stayers in TG as well)... and definitely not the international level yet.
To put in simple words, TG millionaires cannot afford Bentley, just like most of MK owners. In fact TG millionaires will be the ones having abit highlevel of debts but poised to join the elite corporate ladder - fast and furious. Going to corporate offices in KL CBD or TRX or KL Sentral is a hassle, hence the MRT.However, in the next 8 years, it will be a "game changer". Our MRT lines will have 2 more lines interconnected. By then, planning will begin for PJ LRT and more MRT, LRT, BRT and WTS (water transit system). The Damansara corridor would have 2 more highways and more than 8 new shopping malls - 3 of which are in Kota Damansara. High Speed Rail will also be connected to a MRT point.
So can we say 90+20=110mins, from the doorstep of TG to reach Singapore?

Only a very optimistic (or gullible) person could possibly believe such a scenario.
A person who can buy a million-ringgit property is NOT an ordinary man-on-the-street. The situation is totally different from those who bought 400-500K DSTH PJ houses and had them appreciate to 800K-1M.
Let's do the math:
RM1M loan (and mind you, this is probably just 800sqft, suitable for single or at most young couple).
Monthly repayment = RM5k
Max loan allowed - usually 40% of NETT salary. Ok lah, we will assume this "millionaire" don't have a car and relies 100% on MRT.
So, 5K/0.4 = RM12.5K NETT. Means gross salary for this single person = RM15K or so thereabouts.
Wonderful. How many single people you know who have RM15k salary? How many young people with RM15K salary a month loooove to sit MRT instead of running around in a 3series?
For those who say "couple will stay" you got to be kidding. Which couple would be so foolish to buy a 1M 1-bedder which they will need to move out of in a couple of years when they have kids instead?
Simply put, no demand for this type of overpriced chicken coop in the sky.
