In MY, you can eat seafood until you have to carry your stomach back and it cost peanut even if you are doing it every month. in AU, if you do that, it will cost you a bomb and you probably can do it once a year. I just want to say living cost in MY is still much lower.

Correct. When you eat in Paparich MY cost you RM15 and you eat in Paparich Australia cost you aud15. Now who is richer?

Yeah...but what about the durians man..

kan you live without the durians...?

I mean, everytime you want durians you got to take a 7 hours flight....

That's bullshit.

Many down camp start discussing about migration to Australia, they accepted price hardly drop at the current situation, sad...
Oh ya! Where's mr debt???

Tax is high but education is free, cars are cheap, good medical coverage when older... Australian produce is cheaper and better quality... milk, cheese, etc... Cod in UK is freaking cheap... go see how much it is here? And of course lets not forget, the alcohol there is also cheaper, IT equipment is cheaper and newer, home appliances also cheaper, clothing better quality and cheaper and lastly, earning AUD or other western currency can anytime have a holiday in Bolehland and eat all the crab you want!!!! ... crab now RM70 per kilo, crab 5 years ago RM30 per kilo, earn AUD and come back to eat crab is AUD23 per kilo in Bolehland... LOL!!!!! So based on living standard, Bolehland is crap!... Overcharged for internet, cable TV, cars, clothing, everything also over priced and lousy quality even the national cars sold her are worst quality compared to those exported.... and the list goes on and on and on... How much are strawberries here? there you help them pick and you eat for FREE!!! Here you try help them cook crab and they let you eat for FREE? LOL!!!!

Btw, in Australia there is no contribution to social security whereas in bolehland there is, Australia pays out pension funds to those above 60/65 therefore when you work you pay more tax... bolehland you pay less tax but contribute to social security (with the risk that all will go missing buying big diamonds, submarines, speed cameras, empty buildings and oh towards the corrupts' holiday villas and future generation's well being) LMFAO!!!

I doubt that will ever happens. Some yes but not all migrate. Just check majority of business owners in malaysia= chinese or other races? Majority of property investors in malaysia = chinese or other races? Majority of share investors in malaysia = chinese or other races? Chinese has a good strong economic power in malaysia. It is not wise to leave when the race have been doing so well in malaysia.

Hhaha
Now is only 2013. They can predict future some more 2018. What a good liar at least still got 5 years to go from now.

price no drop la... but going up or not?

the mood is sombre, no more hyper interest, only banks are happily collecting interest payments.

i say buy bank shares, not property!!

Well I think if you are being rational, the result of GE13 is the worst possible result for BBBB camp and for Malaysian economy.

If PR won: Short dip for 1-2 years but can recover due to low corruption, lower brain drain (those migrated already coming back), opening up of monopolized markets, less cronies, open tender, etc.

If BN won big: Long term will be terrible, but at least Najib position secure, he can implement all his transformation program ETP GTP whatnot, less uncertainty, less need to constantly give welfare payments (BR1M etc etc). He can also place his own people in key position so less politicking between PR/BN and also within UMNO itself no infighting.

Now: Bad long term, very bad short term too. So much uncertainty - PR don't accept the election results - but on the other hand UMNO people also blame Najib for bad results and plan to kick him out. Whole nation is in paralysis - notice no one even know who is in cabinet yet. Racists gain more power in BN govt, higher brain drain, possibility of more funds flowing out and lower FDI (when Utusan is slamming Chinese everyday will Chinese Singaporean buy property in Iskandar? LOL). With gap between PR and BN closing year by year even despite BN best efforts to cheat and buy votes - they will turn up the give all ppl welfare goodies tactic again, the only tactic they know. This means more govt debt.

You can call my analysis biased, but deep down, I think you agree.

property price is firmed.

Firmed only?

Why not up up up?

Say la going up 50% by another 5 years. LOL.

check the price after 6 months. you will surprise 

Means everytime I will see less and less "Bank Lelong" sign stucked at the traffic lights? Unlike now every weekend got new signs up and some traffic lights got three or four different lelong?

Good also - make our Malaysian scenery less eyesore.

Let's not look too far... our neighbor singapore has hell lot stronger buying power as compared to us.. of course buy car there gonna cost you a bomb la. As for someone in the IT world the bolded part really gets on my nerve actually.

http://info.singtel.com/personal/phones-pl...stpaid/standard !!! SGD40 bucks and you can call for 100 minutes.. 800 free sms and also 2gb data.. In malaysia the cheapest plan would be either digi/umobile.. and that's rm48 for 1gb data plan any subsequent call or sms you gonna pay for it..

Despite I think Malaysian ringgit like "hell money" our phone and telco prices relatively cheap.

Of course you can't compare with SGP a tiny island. Their telco cost of wiring up the entire island with HSDPA is really cheap as a few sites will more or less span the entire island.

Used to stay in UK and lived in US for awhile and the cost in larger nations is more expensive - the reason being you a user in KL needs to subsidize Maxis or Digi's cost to wire up Pasir Mas, Lahad Datu or Bintulu on 3G as well. In US for example, lets say you take AT&T iPhone 5 plan, you can expect to pay ~ USD$80 a month on bills (with USD$199 upfront for 16GB). This would get you 3GB data, unlimited SMS (but who uses SMS?) and about 300 minutes of calls.

you are right and wrong at the same time. You are right in the sense that the cost of setting it up is high but you are wrong in the part of affordability.

1) Malaysia has larger customer base as compared to Singapore
2) Malaysia's broadband backbone infrastructure owns by TM... Crony if it's open to competition i'm sure the total cost of setting up would differ.
3) Since the old days... 3G and followed by 4G&LTE license were given to crony exclusively. Why uMobile, YTL, and another telco which i can recall where initially the 3G rights were taken back because of inactivity? Maxis were always the first to get them.
4) The total cost of ownership to own a device + a affordable plan. They are always talking about something within USD1k in a period of 2 years.. While us malaysian are always looking at RM3.5k and above...
