I Love My Neighbourhood

I love our neighborhood! People say hi, you actually get to know your neighbors, you can walk down the street and be invited into a birthday party and we get together once a month for a street potluck party. Everyone whips up something in their kitchen or buy something from the store, all for the spirit of sharing, socialising and having fun. It's also a play date for kids, sometimes we even have kids performance (singing and dancing) :)

Most important of all, we've made good friends who are like families to us, who are always there whenever we are in need of help. Thank you guys!

To all newcomers, welcome to East Ledang, I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we do.

Have a great Sunday!

About 5,000 Singaporeans call Johor home, WOW!

I found this newly published article on The New Paper:

About 5,000 Singaporeans now call Johor home, estimates the Johor-Singapore Community Care Association, a newly formed group that aims to champion the interests of Singaporeans living across the Causeway.

The New Paper interviewed 3 families who shared their stories about moving to Johor and it's similar story one would hear from most of our neighbours (including us). We feel very lucky to have bought our house at the right time and even luckier to have great neighbours.

It is true that Johor is definitely not as safe as Singapore (not many places in this world are), but as long as we are prudent, vigilant and look after each other in the community, the probability of incidents will be reduced. The article also mentioned about Johor-Singapore Community Care Association (JSCA) which is formed to act as voice to speak to authorities for security concerns in Johor. This association can be contacted at contact@johor-singapore.com.

Despite rising crime, S'poreans don't regret buying Johor properties
