JB - what AI says: will EART impact property price, JB RTS EART

imooi2001low — Thu, 21 May 2026 11:04:11 +0800

With the announcement of JB EART,
I punched in this question to AI and see what is its response :

Question :
"Malaysia just announced they have just approved the budget to build EART transport system in JB.
This EART transport system will connect Jbcc central areas to major townships outskirt of jb.

Two contradicting considerations :
1. Instead of buying higher price condo in jbcc, people can now chose to buy condo at outskirts, hence this will dampen jbcc condo price
2. The outskirts township condo price will go up, in turn it will drive up jbcc condo price. As all townships are now converged into this jbcc central

what do you think the impact of this to Jbcc condo price? up or down? "

Looking for Stand Chart & OCBC Loan for Shop,

whyme — Mon, 18 May 2026 14:55:32 +0800

Hi there.

I have tried to call OCBC and Stand Chart branches and HQ asking for loan information. They said they will get someone to call back, but never even after a few days.

If any of you work for OCBC and Standard Chartered Bank, please PM me. Thanks.

First time home shopper, With so many questions

RigerZ — Sun, 17 May 2026 17:09:42 +0800

1. Is it normal for new property launches to be repeatedly delayed, until 1-2-3 years?

2. Almost every prospective apartment/condo I've checked has bad Google reviews and complaints; mainly regarding lousy security, poor maintenance, bad management, poor build quality, etc etc. I guess this is the reality of choosing a home below a certain price range?

3. If an apartment/condo listed for sale has 1 or 2 units noticeably below the price of other similar units, is there a scam? For example,
USJ You One has 2bed 1toilet units at RM300k, but 1bed 1toilet units at over RM400k
The Regina has 3bed 2toilet units going for RM317k, RM477k and RM499k respectively

4. As I am currently 33, still single, and gradually, increasingly, doubtful of whether I will end up having a family in the near enough future, should I still consider looking for a multi-room apartment/condo just in case? Otherwise I personally feel more like just getting a studio unit.

5. The average price of an apartment unit at my place is around RM320-350k (all are 2/3 bed units) which I suppose relatively speaking is on the more affordable side. One drawback is the increasing percentage of foreigner residents here which I do not really like. I suppose this is the reality if I am looking for a similarly priced apartment with this many rooms?
My assumption is that foreigners would not prefer to stay in an apartment building if it were all RM350k studio units.

6. How can I know if a real estate agent is trustworthy? Google reviews probably not reliable as their own people will pump all the 5 star ratings to boost their company

Add #7: I found a prospective place, but the posting is using generic/stock photos instead of the actual unit, and a google search of the posting agent shows a lot of negative/scammer reviews on the agency. Price does seem a bit too good to be true as well. Avoid at all cost?

Will add on more questions if I think of any.

JS SEZ Summit : views from MY & SG leaders, jb sez

imooi2001low — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 21:11:27 +0800

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9i8jl8

JS SEZ Summit :
Malaysia speakers seems always missing the marks, but SG speakers are able to convey the key KPIs
- SG EDB head
- Sg Business Federation head

Both are able to emphasise on key factors to drive mutual wins which are the fundamentals of this cross-boundary projects. Both said they are positive of the success, however Malaysia leaders seems lacking a comprehensive perspective on this joint-venture., and focusing more on Johor’s success. On the other hand SG needs it for their future economy expansion.
