M'sian calls out RM1k rent listing for bare single-storey house
RENTING a home is becoming increasingly difficult for many Malaysians, particularly in high-demand states like Johor. A recent Threads post by a concerned woman has sparked heated discussions online after she highlighted a steep rental rate for a basic housing unit in the state. 'Living in Johor is getting harder with rental rates that do not make any sense,' she wrote in her post. A screenshot of a Facebook post attached to her post showed a bare, unfurnished single-storey unit allegedly being rented out for a staggering RM1,000. She claimed that the unit was located in the city centre, hence the exorbitant rental rate. In the comments section of the screenshot, one user suggested that the landlord could be targeting Malaysians working in Singapore — perhaps those not earning high salaries — but pointed out that even for that demographic, the rent was not considered affordable. The situation has ignited broader concerns over affordability, especially for locals earning in Malaysian Ringgit, as rental prices appear to be inflated by demand from Singaporean workers and landlords aiming at tenants with stronger currencies. 'I don't think people who work in Singapore would choose such run-down houses, right? If they're already paying a high price, they might as well get a bigger, nicer house. Even if it's a bit further from Johor Bahru, it's fine — many of them are used to commuting anyway,' one commenter pointed out. Another user noted that the cost of living in the state is even higher than in Kuala Lumpur, with the most expensive water tariffs in Malaysia — largely due to Singaporeans and Malaysians earning in Singapore dollars (SGD), who are willing to pay as long as it is still cheaper than prices on the island. 'There are landlords dreaming of renting out flats — yes, flats with no lift and not even on the ground floor — asking for RM1,000 or even RM1,100 in rent. I don't know... it just feels like a scam, because other similar units aren't even close to RM1,000,' one user shared. 'I saw on Facebook — the house looks like it's about to collapse, yet they're asking RM1,300 for it. A flat on the fourth floor. Then I read the location — it's in Stulang,' another user claimed.

Cross-border e-hailing proposal requires further talks, says Loke
KUALA LUMPUR: The proposal to introduce cross-border e-hailing services requires further talks with Singapore, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke. He said he had raised the matter with former Singaporean counterpart Chee Hong Tat previously. 'But Singapore was not ready to discuss it at that time,' he said. 'In principle, we are ready to discuss increasing cross-border connectivity, but this cannot be implemented unilaterally. Both parties must agree before it can proceed,' added Loke during his 13th Malaysia Plan winding up on Monday (Aug 18). Loke said he hopes to revive discussions with Singapore on the proposal. 'We hope to resume discussions and that Singapore will welcome the idea,' he said. Loke said a Road Transport Department operation on Aug 13 targeted foreign e-hailing vehicles. JPJ arrested four Singaporeans and seized four vehicles, he said. Loke added that another JPJ operation targeting public transport arrested five Singaporeans and seized five buses. 'This matter is still on trial. All the vehicles had no valid operator's licence and were not registered as public service vehicles,' he said Prior to this, a JPJ operation found that Singapore-registered drivers are openly offering e-hailing rides in Malaysia. They charge up to S$180 (RM591) per person for trips to Johor Baru. JPJ said illegal operators promote services on social media and messaging apps and offer rides to various destinations. A one-way trip to Johor Baru Sentral can cost up to S$180 per person while a ride to Legoland Malaysia can go up to S$200 (RM657).

Singaporean Stuffs RM800,000 Genting Jackpot Win Into Backpack, Encounters Border Hurdles
Subscribe to our FREE A Singaporean businesswoman experienced unexpected difficulties transferring her casino winnings back home after hitting a RM800,000 jackpot at Genting Highlands in April. Sherylynn Kok, 28, won the grand prize on a slot machine during a family weekend trip, but discovered that moving large sums across borders involved complex banking procedures and security considerations. Kok triggered the jackpot feature game and secured the RM800,000 payout, which casino staff verified as legitimate. She received eight bundles of RM100,000 in RM10,000 notes, requiring a backpack to carry the cash. Security guards escorted her within the casino premises but informed her they could not provide protection once she left the building. The family took shifts watching the money overnight in their hotel room. Banking Roadblocks Force Extended Stay Weekend bank closures prevented immediate money transfers. The group also learned that remitting the funds required a Malaysian bank account, which none of them had opened. At the airport, they discovered that exporting such large amounts of cash from Malaysia required national bank approval. Kok's parents returned to Singapore while she and her boyfriend remained to resolve the transfer issues. The following day, Kok opened a dual-currency account with OCBC Malaysia, which allowed her to complete the transfer process. Measured Perspective on Unexpected Fortune Kok described herself as risk-averse when it came to investments and opted to keep the money in a standard bank account. She cited examples of others who had quickly spent large windfalls and viewed her winnings as providing more time flexibility rather than immediate wealth. I don't think SGD200,000 will last you a lifetime. The case illustrates the procedural requirements that can complicate large cross-border financial transfers, even for legitimate casino winnings.
