Hope SG did not overestimate itself, by thinking it can remain far ahead of JB, and retain status as the brain and HQs....how else can SG "win" in this win-win ?

Well, some SGreans discovered they had "overestimate" themselves after getting CLOBBED and CON in their property "investment" in JohorLand.

Some pple tend to suffer from short-term memory lost when good news clouded their emotion and expectation so soon after the last Pandemic  Big Grin

not sure about his. I'm referring to those landed houses at fc. they're snapped up very fast. one company bought several units for staff holidays

SEZ is just a wet dream to con greedy stupid stinkies to buy their valueless properties lah ... as ex CEO of NTUC

Buy JB homes must consult the locals there. They know the ins and outs. Condos will become old and out-dated compared to the new ones they will oways be building, land is unlimited in Bolehland. TK must feel beri good about himself now. So must handbag loo.


RE: It's Official - Forest City will be SEZ's Financial centre. - WhatDoYouThink! - 08-01-2025

it's true that they hv unlimited land. but good locations are limited, like walking distance to ciq and citysquare with covered linked ways. some appear to be very close but the traffic is rather chaotic

Why SEZ no benefits for Singapore ? FC is the Financial Centre while we all do MRT link them here ?


RE: It's Official - Forest City will be SEZ's Financial centre. - sclim - 08-01-2025

that is what they agreed to do. detail plan also no have.

after plan still got to see if they can execute. or if political people change?

The words "JB homes" do not excudes any confidence nor sense of appreciating value

The only reason some SGreans wanna "own" them is simply they are CHEAP  Big Grin


RE: It's Official - Forest City will be SEZ's Financial centre. - WhatDoYouThink! - 10-01-2025

they are cheap, bought with disposable money like those cheap stuff you bought online from china. if not useful then just chuck aside loh, no big deal right?

but if the money is a big sum to you then better keep it for retirement better lah

There are 2 types of CHEAP products - One is your online Taobao purchase that can easily be return with little financial consequence and another is a CHEAP "investment" which has no guarantee that the "disposal money" you committed can be returned if the other party decides to do a U-Turn in the T&C....

dun be too calculative n speculative on everything lah. like the car you bought, the woman you married, the labubu,... as long as you are happy can already

SEZ is just another brilliantly repakaged "Master Plan" which had been repeated before....

From 1989 Johor-SG-Riau "Growth Triangle" to 2017's Iskandar economic zone under Najib. (Danga Bay water front remember?)

All signed by leaders from these countries and  unsurprisingly ended up with more noisy thunder than real rain...

I think SGreans learn long ago any deal, agreement or contract will be subjected to the wimps and mood of the Ruling Class in Bolehland.  Big Grin

Any marriage can easily fail in a divorce if the couple thought by signing on the dotted line is confirmed forever happily ever after. Big Grin
