Are You 'Falling out of Love' with Malaysia?

[HIDDEN]

This post was set up with the impartial question, 'Are you falling out of love with Malaysia?'

If people are falling out of love with Malaysia, then they should be able to make that point under this topic and explain why. If they are not then again they can make their point. To bias this subject by stating that it should be more positive defeats the reason for asking an impartial question in the first place. Perhaps a seperate topic titled ' The Good things about living in Malaysia' would be more appropriate.

hi,

Like Bruce, I've also enjoyed the banter on this thread. It's like stripping away all the retouched photograpy from the Tourist Brochures, and seeing the place as it really is. And every pair of eyes is different.

Good idea for a new topic. I'll start it as suggested, "The Good Things about Living in Malaysia."

BTW, what used to piss me off about Singapore was that I was not allowed to be negative in the sense that everything worked even if it didn't. Criticism wasn't wanted, or listened to. Constructive criticism was tentatively allowed along the lines of the cheery, come on boys and girls, Pathe News guy (this is for those that can remember Saturday morning cinema). So anyone wanting to say anything had to preface the "it doesn't work, it's no good" remark with, "of course, I'm only trying to improve an already serviceable situation ..."

I don't think this is a Malaysia problem.  This is a house problem.  Solution is:
1.  Remote house somewhere on bags of land.
2.  Top floor deluxe condo unit with none of those annoying touching walls to neighbours and preferably personal lift.
Easy. 

We have been talking things over and tomorrow we maybe doing suggestion number 2.

We are meeting up with a Director of a large development company tomorrow. There is a 'very high-end development' going up right in the middle of KLCC where the entry price point is 2.5m+ for the smallest and then goes up in stages to the big boy at 18million rm, 90% have already been bought by Singaporeans and HK business people prior to launch.
Buying anything there will be a stretch but if we do hopefully we'll price out all the problems and concerns we have here about safety, undesirables, quality etc. And then look to sell the bungalow somewhere down the line.
