Woman from China buys JB Forest City condo unit with 'unparalleled ... (Mothership.sg)

Yang Tingting, a woman from Beijing, who bought a unit in the development, told Hong Kong media HK01 how her purchase came about. She had joined a five-day site ...

According to HK01, she found out that the title of her residential unit was changed to a commercial-titled residential unit. When asked if she would want to return to Malaysia and sue the developer there, she said she had no intention of doing so.

Not only was the quality of the apartment worse than what she had expected, the "unparalleled sea view" was more of a "sea view in the corner of your eye". When queried by HK01, they declined to comment on Yang's case specifically, but reiterated that most of the owners are satisfied with the project, and "quite a number" of residents had already moved in. She said it was also simple for her to invest in the property as a foreigner, as Malaysia's My Second Home (MM2H) policy only required her to deposit RM150,000 (S$45,400) into a local bank account.

Woman Promised 'Majestic Sea View' Before Buying JB Forest City ... (Must Share News)

A woman in China was forced to pay mortgage for a flat in the JB Forest City Project for five years despite not living in it.

Ms Yang also told HK01 that she intends to take legal action against the developers. She also discovered that the unit was part of a commercial condominium. They also insisted that only a handful of buyers expressed dissatisfaction with their purchases. Sadly, she claimed that she was given cold and passive responses. The project eventually became abandoned, turning into a ghost town with many unoccupied lots and unkempt surroundings. But when developers donโ€™t deliver as promised, it could bring unnecessary trouble.
