Half Day Tour in Iskandar Malaysia - August 2013

Today my dad and I brought my aunt who is now Singapore citizen to Iskandar Malaysia. We first met at Taman Ungku Tun Aminah in Skudai, which is a mature town developed since year 1970s. We then went to Sutera Mall @ Taman Sutera Utama, which provide bus services from Jurong East with 30 - 60 minutes frequency. After that we went to Gelang Patah via Lima Kedai and had a lunch at seafood restaurant there.

After lunch, we continued our journey and went to few places in Nusajaya, which is Educity, Legoland, Medini, Puteri Harbour and Hello Kitty world. Nusajaya is newly developed city in Iskandar Malaysia under Zone B, so we saw little traffic there as majority of the residents are still residing in Skudai (Bukit Indah and its surrounding) or in Tebrau (Mount Austin and its surrounding). Nonetheless, I did believe that it would be a good place to stay once more people are living there.

The last destination we went to before going back to JB CIQ was Danga Bay by Country Garden. We were amazed by the landscape there and also quite curious on the carnival held there although we did not really step in to take a look.

According to my aunt, the 4 room flat in Singapore could easily cost $400K and above, and it was only S$260K few years back. As I do not really know whether this is a so called highly inflated environment, but I only know that we cannot fight against inflation, and the only we can battle with it is through promotion via hard work, doing business or investment.

So it is my day for coming to Iskandar Malaysia Zone A & Zone B. As Malaysian working in Singapore, my hope is that the relationship between Singapore and Malaysia can be strengthen and we would prosper together once the high speed rail completed by targeted 2020.
