Park View rental unit before renovation photo
Applying PBA and TNB on behalf of Owner
After getting the key for our first rental unit at Park view,I went to apply for the PBA (Perbadanan Bekalan Air) and TNB (Tenaga Nasional Berhad) for our unit.
Since our proxy is not coming, before I went to the PBA and TNB, I already ask my Proxy prepared an Authorization letter and photocopy of his NRIC. I will be applying on behalf.
First stop is going to the PBA near the Jetty. The address is as follow:
Taman Selat
No 77 Taman Selat,Jalan Bagan Luar
12000 Butterworth,Pulau Pinang
The moment I step into the PBA office, there is a middle age man arguing with two officer about his application.
They talked so loud until the whole office can hear them. If I heard correctly, PBA officer told him that his house meter is belong to new owner.
Someone has sold his house away and the water meter ownership has changed. He seem puzzled and not agreed. The PBA officer show them the SPA document etc.
Then the man start to call anyone he can help.
I only waited for less than 5 minutes and call for my turn.
I submitted the pre-prepare documents:
1) Photocopy of SNP
2) Authorization letter
3) Owner NRIC
4) RM10 stamp duty
I did not photocopy of my own NRIC, she help me to do it.
The officer required me to sign 3 more forms which is on behalf.
The account will be issued under the PROXY name.
Total PBA application cost:
Since the current owner is not terminate yet. So I need to pay RM10 for the stamp duty.
The deposit is RM70.
Stamp Duty:RM10
Deposit: RM70 (Will be refunded to owner by cheque upon termination in future)
At this moment, the middle-aged man wife call and talked to the officer to clarify the confusion caused.
The havoc arise due to the wrong address given, the man seem relief after knowing his house is not sold to others without his knowledge.
The PBA officer told me that the problem of having too many houses and mixed up with the address.
This is first time I do on behalf on the Proxy.Overall the process quite smooth.
The next stop will be the TNB at Seberang Jaya.
The address is as follow:
Kedai Tenaga
Jalan Tenaga Seberang Jaya,
13700, Prai, Pulau Pinang
I queue to get my ticket for the transaction. I told the officer that I am applying the TNB on behalf of the owner. After giving the property details, the officer mentioned that I cannot do it today because the current owner not yet terminate his account.
Her advice is as follow:
Scenario 1:
1.0) Fill up the cancellation form by the owner and sign
1.1) Bring the form together with his Photocopy NRIC
2.0) The new owner also need to fill up the form and signed
2.1) Bring the form together with new owner Photocopy NRIC
3.) A copy of SNP
Scenario 2:
1) If cannot locate the current owner, can inform TNB for new application
2) TNB will give the new owner 2 weeks period, if the current owner no response, the new owner application will be approved.
3) Of course the following documents still required:

Seri Tamarin at Tanjong Tokong
Some day last week, I got an email with title :"Tanjung Tokong property at around RM 650 Psf !!" sitting inside my mailbox.
Of course I am fully which organization sending me this e-mail.
Form the title it sound really attractive, wish that i would get a unit there. For the past years,I keep looking at that area and not able to afford one till today.
That area would be cost around at least RM750 psf and above, it can go as high as RM1000 psf which is on par with KL and JB Iskandar.
Below is the sales pitch from the email.
Would it be possibly the best investment you ever made if you can get a piece of this luxury property in Tanjong Tokong, Penang at around RM650 psf when all around you everyone is paying above a thousand ringgit per square feet (psf)?
What's the catch you will ask? Yes...there is. We bought it bulk (only a few) and we can only hold it till 30th November. Therefore the Catch is you must decide fast.
And... You must be a member. If you are not, you must at least be my friend, which you probably are since you are one of the few who got this message. But you still must become a member.
Here are 7 reasons why you don't want to miss one of three presentations we are arranging this next two weeks.
Average price for all property in Tanjong Tokong is over a million ringgit. This one is at ONLY RM650k!
Average price per square feet (psf) in this area is RM1000-RM1500. This one is around RM650 psf.
Developer is well known...really really well known!
This area is well developed and in high demand. Top three areas where all Penangites want to own a property.
All islands in the world where Chinese is majority whether it is Hong Kong or Singapore has one in common..... Property price goes up up up......this one will go up too.
Walking distance to a MAJOR hyper mart.
15 mins walking to a nationwide College.
I am not a member of this club yet. So in order not to waste time, I did not go.
My friend went for the presentation and below is his sharing.
Based on the information given above, it only covered the financial part. Required to dropby developer office to understand more.
Will follow u once got more information.

New launch值得买吗？
- 买二手产业手续麻烦，买不到理想的单位，左看右看，都买不到一间好的单位。
- 加上买二手要出多首期，买一间$450千间的单位，首期+律师费+印花税起码要负55千到65千左右，还没加装修费，买家私费用等等，起码都要给多$40-$50千左右做装修和买家私。
- 但是买New Launch就不一样，只是付$10千左右就可以买到一间，然后买家私装修40-50千，都是付了$50-$60千左右罢了，最少都省50千。
- 加上买1000sqft以上的单位，有包两车位，可遇不可求的新楼盘。
- 大多数免律师费。
- 买产业一定是以本小利大的概念来购买，不要用太多的本钱购买，把自己弄得太负担
- 要旧一点，但是要买贵很多，加上给多50千的首期，值得吗？为什么不选择买好一点，买新的产业，可以省回50千的首期呢？
- 通常有几个阶段或不同的发展期，下一期就会起价，买一样的东西，给贵了，也是不值得。
如何看待这个标题?有何意见？
PUCHONG,CYBERJAYA & USJ Price Comparison
Done a preliminary check on the Puchong,cyberjaya and USJ condo price as below table
I almost fainted?
Today when chatting with my friend on the Johor Bahru Vs Penang property, suddenly my friend comment almost caused me fainted. And seriously, I advice her to go and study into details about the property investment. Otherwise, it is really risky if you do not know what are you doing. She told me that for last year alone, she bought in a shoplot ($1.4m), a condo ($650K) and a SOHO ($?). All new launches.
Below are the conversation that stunned me.
Friend: Is your property rent out in Penang?
Me:Yes
Friend: How much is the rental?
Me: $2000 per month
Friend: How many rooms?
Me: 3 rooms
Friend:In JB, 2 rooms already can fetch $2000/month
At this point of time, I am speechless. Anyone get the point or get to know what is the problems here?
I seriously told her that need to understand well how to invest wisely and not based on emotion,sales pitch, marketing material etc. I advice her to attend some good seminar if possible.
Commit more than $2 million is a no joke although is earning Singapore dollar.

3 types of academic we got:
There are plentfy of money in the world, if you want to be rich, you need to first expand your reality in order, to hold on to your share of that abundance.
Money = Wealth?
There are only TWO Purpose for us to spend money:
Do not let money define US!
World's richest networth builder that stays humble and grounded are:
In current economy market, there are a lot of investment instruments/vehicles. How do we recognized it not a money game or SCAM? Below are some guidelines, the key principles are:
3D:Death,Disability,Disease
According to diagram above, John is 25 years old, he start to accumulate or building up his wealth. At that time, he need to protect his wealth also just in case if there is any unpredictable event occurred. If John executed his plan well and reach financial freedom at the age of 45 years old. What if in the process of accumulating wealth, he was hit by 3D? The accumulation wealth process can take a hit and the networth could reduced significantly, refer achieve tto Point X. The time to achieve it also could be longer than planned.
Once achieve the financial freedom, the next step is to managed it well. However, during management process, John might be hit by another 3D event and the wealth can be spent till ZERO at earlier years, that is Point Y.
If there is no 3D event arises, John will live till the desired age and still left with some networth, then it is time for how to distribute the wealth.
The whole workshop for the 4 module is covering by the above diagram.
The most important financial check:
If possible, do not UTILIZE your networth on your spending. It will damage your Financial Freedom plan.
Income can come from 2 sources namely, active income and passive income. Earning rely on VALUE only. Job is for you to learn, earning is a by-product.
Upgrade life gradually as shown in the diagram below:
It simply means that, sometime we spend big amount, but gradually will not satisfied with the purchases.
We can split those purchased into smaller portion in order to create our own happiness.

Credit card has successfully separated 2 emotions, Syiok (Happiness) and Pain. It is different from cash.
