A 32-year-old man, a resident of Johor Bahru, works in Singapore with a salary ranging from 4000 to 4300 SGD (including overtime and all allowances).

Currently single and not planning to marry, he resides in his johor bahru parents' house where his room is very small.

However, he also rents a room in Singapore because commuting daily between Singapore and Johor Bahru is exhausting.

On his days off,(not every week,it depends ) he returns to his house in Johor Bahru from the rented room in Singapore.


Now that his brother is married, and both his brother and sister-in-law are Singapore permanent residents (PR) living in sister-in-law johor bahru house, his brother plans to buy an HDB flat in Singapore.

This way, he can continue living in the Johor Bahru house since his brother and sister-in-law have no intention of residing at his johor bahru house.



He is considering purchasing a double-storey landed house in a gated and guarded community for around 650k MYR.

Is his decision correct?

People here will say if you have to ask you can't afford.

Up la 100% of course.

Why?

Already up 15-20%, goin up more as RtS comes alive

Wrong.

Up 200%. You no buy you red eye

Uncle from Singapore come sapu 2 biji...

Will 5 folds in 10 years

SG salary is twice our salary, provided same field of job opportunism.

For example, RM3k jobs in Johor = S$1.7k jobs in Singapore.

Already up , makanan also up , everything up , those who stay and work in JB is literally dead. Salary not even on par with KL also . Public transport non existent somemore.

Yes.

Jb economy is for those malaysians that work in sg.


Deputy Minister of Trade, Investment and Industry Liew Chin Tong told CNA that the federal government was acutely aware of the issue and that it has been vying to drive wages up in the southern state.

"Every morning, tens of thousands of Malaysians on their motorbikes head to Singapore, at 4am, 5am.


They are working in jobs that pay S$2,000. That is partly because in Malaysia, wages are very low… probably a third of the pay they earn in Singapore and in terms of currency conversion, there is a huge gap.




“So it makes a compelling case for ordinary Malaysians to work in Singapore. In Malaysia, we will have to push wages up by attracting higher investment into technology, automation and digitalisation,” said Mr Liew, who is also Member of Parliament for the Iskandar Puteri constituency in Johor.

Ni soalan exam ke apa ni?

aspira lakehomes?

What's go up must come down. Trust me.

Correct?



"Everything has become more expensive – from meals to general expenses. Those who live and work in Johor Bahru are facing significant challenges."

"Malaysians working in Johor Bahru receive salaries that are not even comparable to those in Kuala Lumpur."

"Public transport is virtually nonexistent in Johor Bahru."

"It's unfortunate for Malaysians working in Johor Bahru as they have to endure the high cost of food and housing. Prices are driven up because many Malaysians living in Johor Bahru commute to work in Singapore, where salaries are higher."

"Thus, the high cost of food and housing in Johor Bahru disproportionately affects them."

Not exam.

realistic life issue

Which things wiil go down?

Buying power?

So far house price never go down

Unless murder case or fire

Water tariffs also way higher almost double than selangor

Now RM 800,000


1800 sq ft


This house location nice?

Price up

But any transcation occur at that price level?

Got price no market la

date and marry a sg girl, apply BTO with her.

pay installment with cpf.

last last buy house in jb.

If want to buy bto hdb,then maybe only can buy only no gated and guarded single storey house...


Tolak cpf salary become 3200 leh.

He needs to put TIME as a resource, not just money. Is he willing to spend time commuting or not? I for one would pay more if I can stay closer to workplace.

Previously, those who worked in SG needs to go to work at 430am from JB. After work, they'll arrive back home around 1030pm. Imagine leaving home while your kids are still asleep, and only come home just as they're about to go to bed.

Nowadays, things have become more efficient. So you can depart later and come back sooner.

Soon, it will be even more efficient hopefully, with various things in the plan between the two country. So yes, RM650k for a double story house in gated community in JB would probably worth it in the near future.

Malaysian working in Spore need to register PADU or not

U mean this house previously sold at 650k but now is 800k?

RTS should have higher effect on housing prices within 5km from it cos now everyone know it will be completed.

All other projects like SEZ, SFZ, HSR near Iskandar Puteri r just in planning so prices up slowly. But if these projects r implemented than prices will shoot up. Can see that our Sultan n PMX want to make this a success.

Need gua

Salary need declare SGD convert RM?

"The High-Speed Rail (HSR) project would require acquiring a significant amount of land, including oil palm plantations and roadways, a process likely to take at least 5 years.

This would affect regions such as Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Batu Pahat, Muar, and Selangor.

Considering the establishment of a Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is an interesting idea but not much helpful.


Both countries top leaders never mention clearly what is it?


Only said to streamline travel, implementing QR codes instead of passports is proposed, although its effectiveness may be limited.
But custom still jam one.

Too many people at morning and afternoon after 4pm.

2 land customs is not enough one.


The Rapid Transit System (RTS) brings in around 10,000 people at a time. To enhance connectivity, introducing water taxis or ferries operating between 4 am - 10 am and 4 pm - 11 pm, similar to Hong Kong (launched in 2021), could be beneficial.

For both customs, ensuring a smooth process with no congestion (less than 1 hour from JB custom to Woodlands custom, including clearance) would contribute to the both countries economy.

Assuming SFZ is at ForestCity n SEZ is at IP, my view is to build the link from JurongEast Mrt to FC to IP 1st.

Built HSR from jurong east MRT to Forest city island?

Better built RTS like johor bahru custom to woodlands custom.

But just built beside second link bridge enough.

Easy.

The other custom flood somemore.

Why mentri besar never solve tanjung kupang custom issue?

https://johor.chinapress.com.my/20240112/%e...96%84%e5%90%8e/







I think it is very hard to built the LRT from tuas custom to forest city.

High chance they built a LRT line from Forest city to tanjung kupang custom.

Then build a LRT line from tanjung kupang custom To tuas custom

Need to transfer the HSR line..







TK is tanjung kupang johor custom.

J is jurong HSR station.


FC is forest city islands LRT station

Slight change to the ORIGINAL HSR plan, the green color detour. FC=SFZ, duty free island. The HSR will have its own custom like the RTS.

Actually quite pity those working in JB. Food prices are no joke. More expensive than KL.

Actually if u dont buy 650k house what u going to do with the money?

Sure or not?

Put fixed deposit or kwsp

TS need to ask urself what is the purpose of buying the house?

Already got place to stay and no intention to marry in near future

investment - Stock / EPF higher return no? Property need maintenance ya

thats why jb people that work in sg one sibeh lcly

In an interview he gave to Singapore’s The Sunday Times, the next Yang di-Pertuan Agong said he hoped the rail project would be realigned to run through Forest City, a controversial property development fronting the Straits of Johor comprising four artificial islands on reclaimed land, spanning 30 sq km.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.freemalays...ve-realign-hsr/

Cos when a couple works in SG, they immediately becomes T20.

There is no right and wrong answer. Is just if he thinks this is what he wants and if he can afford it. Even if buy house now, next time want to buy in SG, can just sell off. Can earn money or cannot earn money, there is separate question, no body can say or comfirm future market condition. If no buy house, save the money up also no wrong.

I heard jb land soaring. Now must grab 2 or 5 biji. Else you lost liao ..

5biji now buy. 2 years let go theb got few mil. Can retired

30 yrs loan, monthly almost rm3k. if he really ok, then just sign the s&p la. to calculate montly mortgage payment just install easy law app

1 unit rm650k, if 30 yr loan, monthly oredi rm3k. for second house, if u will not get 90% loan, so ur depo should be higher. 2 units pay rm7-8k monthly u ok ka?

age 32 earning 4k sgd. buying house in jb oso bleeding oredi. buying house in singapore unless he strike jackpot

Hmm... buying hdb house in SG not that difficult financially. At least for the installment part which CPF covered mostly.
As for the downpayment, we never know.. Some really save up. different people different financial situation.

near to RTS station, Taman Pelangi, Maju, century, single terance with renovation 650K, no renovation minumum 550K

So you grab 5 biji already? Which area?
Again, My thinking is that one may still loss money in property. For example Forest city. price is exorbitant when launch. Now... price is drop a bit. Anyone dare to catch those units?

How he try to drive also cannot match 1:3.52. Best is like me, I get paid in SGD, but I stay and work in the Klang valley....

almost bought a unit for 550k but backed out because it was PKP time and borders with singapore were not open yet. kinda regret didnt proceed.
800k is probably for the 24 x 75 units. pretty sure you can still get 22 x 75 for 600-700k.

May I know which taman house you bought during PKP?


Now RM 600 K- RM 700 K mostly kangkar pulai have only.

Or masai



Skudai hard to find


Unless old no gated and guarded buruk buruk

20*70

aspira lakehomes.

The price so cheap.

Is it during PKP only?

2019 also this price?

from my understanding, the prices dropped around PKP time. i didnt know this at the time, I just thought the developer was having a hard time selling units because of the singapore closure. so i backed out. i was spooked by the number of unsold Johor houses.

Actuay now johor also have many unsold house.


Mostly is condo....

Landed house if around 600k- 850k still ok

But foreigners need to buy at min 1mil

650k? Seriously?









He should buy 2

Some place just 500K

Like medini
