Double Check Your Sources When Listening to Rumours

Many people easily believe in rumors. They don't bother to check or double check their sources. Most of them just accept what they heard or learn as how things work. Never they thought they need to think the logic behind what they heard. As a result, they don't know the actual situation or the root cause of the issue. And they implement the wrong plan or action. This is what happening to many of Malay population in Malaysia especially in Johor Bahru.

There were rumors Sultan of Johor bought state lands cheaply and sold them to property developers. There were rumors Sultan of Johor use his position to easily do business in Malaysia. Many actions done by the Sultan just gave harm to the Johorean than true benefits. Johoreans do not gain any financial benefit? Sultan actions just gave hard time to the Johor administration. Are the allegations true?

If you would like to find the truth, below are your opportunity to learn the truth.

Is he an opportunist? He is a lot better than that! He is incomparable to those who use politician just to get cheap land and than sell at higher price to a developer.

Here why I said so:

From both articles, it is important that those in positions to be business minded and always do things that give benefits to the society in the long run. In order to be a success, you must think differently than the rest of the crowd. Team work is important. Each team member must be an expert in their own field.

DO YOU HAVE THE SUCCESSFUL TRAITS?

Opportunity Always Available for Those Who Look for It

People always talk about negative news about the economy especially with the coming of GST implementation on 1st April 2015. There are continuous reports of bad property market all over the country. The property market is very slow especially in Klang valley and Penang for condo and apartment market. There are less new development launch and the sales rates are slower compared to last year. There are also report of condo and apartment being auction.

However, there is always a good place to invest if you look for it. Then, you have to readjust your strategy to fit your requirement. There are still a huge potential in IRDA: more entertainment centers being launch and to be developed in IRDA, Pengerang Oil and Gas hub go on as planned. 1st tanker to dock at Pengerang has been reported. Potential workforce growth is getting stronger in IRDA and Pengerang RAPID as reported in

Bright outlook for oil and gas in Pengerang

"The number of job vacancies in the state was increasing yearly, with 129,921 positions offered last year compared to 128,721 positions in 2013 and 105,993 in 2012, he said.

“In the next five years, we will be creating another 100,000 jobs, with half of them coming from the oil and gas sector.""

You should read until the end of the article:

"Vidyanathan added that with the rapid development and investments coming into the state, Johor was expected to overtake Selangor and Penang soon."

Think of the growth rate. It is bigger than the Selangor and Penang economy size. Thus, there are huge potential in the southern state.


But, we must always cautious in our investment. Although a report mention condo and apartment market is sustainable in Johor Bahru, I would prefer the safer market segment which is landed property. And among the landed property, I would focus on gated guarded houses and shop lots. There are good reasons for my choices.
