Re-apply again all the electrical and water bills thru the ‘office’ where u bought the house. Mostly they will assist you but it takes around 2-3 months for all to be in place.

Read many Q & A here. So shares a few tips here. Was looking around since 2009 in JB a Retirement Home in 2014-15.
Bt Indah & Horizon Hill seem to be developing orderly & comes with good Shopping Mall-Jusco & Sutera Mall. Giant & Tesco S’mart, many Banks, Eatery & Conveniences are to be found within a 5-20mins drive. It situated mid point between Woodland & Tuas CIQ & within a 35 mins drive. Being a New metropolis develop by the Iskandar DA. One can expect good infrastrature from Roads, Water, Power, Bank, Mall, Police & Administrative services to be properly developed according to Blueprint. So it is a much safer bets compares to buying in Terbrau, Sentosa, Johor jaya etc. For peace of mind. Buy your house or condo with at least 2 layers of Security from Guarded Gate to CCTV camera & a rgular patrol in landed. Most RM500K Condo in Iskandar location comes with 3 layers of Security. It is for my weekly weekend stay & so the issue of overstaying is not an issue for me. However if it is good. Than the next logical move is to apply for MM2H a 10 years Visa for Silver Hairs pples.

Hi HK, the price range can get you a decent apartment. Landed is a little hard due to the budget but you can connect with a property agent to look around.

I like Bukit Indah personally. Ideal esp if you work in NUS.

Hi Adly, arrangement sounds ok.

She can certainly take the Malaysian driving licence – however, if the intention is for her to drive in Singapore as well, she might as well get a Singapore Driving License instead. Note that she cannot convert her Malaysian License to a Singapore license as Singaporeans and Permanent Residents may convert a foreign driving license only if they can show proof that they have reason to be staying in a foreign country for a period of 1 year or more due to STUDY or WORK, and have a total stay of 6 months within the one year period.

Hi. I’m a S’porean. My wife is Indonesian with Singapore PR status. Any issue if we stay in JB. I will need to go in and out on weekdays for work, while leaving her and kids in JB. She will go back to S’pore at least once a week. Will there be any immigration issue for her, especially from the Malaysian Customs? As it is we go to JB at least once or twice a week for the last 2 years for grocery shopping and top up petrol. Also, can she take up driving lesson and eventually Malaysian driving licence there? I intend to buy a Malaysian registered car for er to drive around JB while I drive our s’pore registered car to work in S’pore.

Hi Liz & Aby,
I have also purchased a house at Setia Eco Gardens, which will be completed in March 2012. But I do not have a car, so will have to rely on public transport. Do you know if there is any bus service from Setia Eco Gardens/Gelang Patah to Singapore? Many thanks.
