Microsoft has acquired a plot of land in Johor, Malaysia, likely for a data center.

Local property development firm Crescendo Corporation Berhad (CCB) this week announced it had sold a 102,560 sqm (1.1 million sq ft) plot of land in the Pulai area of Johor to Microsoft.

CCB’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Panoramic Industrial Development Sdn. Bhd., has entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with Microsoft Payments (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. for a cash consideration of RM132,471,276 ($27.9m). The deal is expected to complete in Q4 2042.

According to CBB, the land can only be used for a medium industry area for the purposes of data center and associated uses.

Microsoft announced plans for a Malaysian Azure cloud region in Kuala Lumpur back in 2021; the region is still listed as “coming soon” on the company’s website.

Johor, located in Malaysia’s south, is just across the border from Singapore. Though Singapore is starting to ease restrictions around its ongoing moratorium on new data center developments, Johor has grown a sizeable data center market of its own as developments overspill from the city-state.

Other developers and operators in Johor include PDG, AirTrunk, Equinix, Keppel, ChinData's Bridge DC, and Yondr.

Microsoft opened its Singapore Azure cloud region in 2010; the region has three availability zones. The company was selected as one of four companies granted permission to build new data center capacity in Singapore last year.

Crescendo Corporation has previously sold land in Johor to STT GDC for a data center development.

Elderly woman found dead in Whampoa flat lived alone after father & brother died

An elderly woman was found dead in her flat in Whampoa earlier this week, in the latest case of a senior citizen found decomposing at home.

The 75-year-old had lived alone, according to neighbours.

Source: Google Maps

More than five days after a foul smell was detected in her block, it has not dissipated yet.

Woman found dead in Whampoa flat on 2 April

The sad discovery was made on Tuesday (2 April), Shin Min Daily News reported.

The deceased’s unit is in Block 8 St George’s Lane.

Source: Google Maps

 

When reporters arrived, they found that her flat was on the 10th floor.

Foul smell first detected on 1 April

A 44-year-old domestic helper named Luna, who lives on the 11th floor, told Shin Min that she first detected the foul smell in her kitchen on Monday (1 April) afternoon.

This prompted her to close the windows.

Source: Shin Min Daily News on Facebook

Later, she determined the source of the stench and knocked on the door of the deceased’s flat but nobody answered.

She then asked a neighbour to call the police, who found the woman’s body.

 

Stench lingers more than five days later

Though the foul smell was detected on 1 April and the woman was found on 2 April, the block continues to experience the after effects.

Other neighbours told Shin Min that the stench still lingered more than five days later.

 

It would hit their nostrils as soon as they opened their windows, they said.

Deceased lived alone

A resident on the 10th floor named only as Kumar, 27, said the deceased used to live with her father and brother.

However, after they both died, she lived alone.

Nobody had been seen visiting her for a long time.

75-year-old found in Whampoa flat pronounced dead at scene

In response to Shin Min’s queries, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) confirmed that they had responded to a case of unnatural death.

A 75-year-old woman was found unconscious in her flat and was pronounced dead, SPF said.

No foul play is suspected, according to preliminary investigations.

 

Further investigations into the case are ongoing.

SINGAPORE: Associate Professor Jamus Lim, Workers’ Party Member of Parliament for Seng Kang GRC, in a recent Facebook post has again shed light on the housing affordability issue in Singapore.

Highlighting the concern over the soaring prices of HDB flats and its potential impact on Singaporeans’ ability to secure their own homes, he emphasized how these high prices could lead to delays in starting a family.

Additionally, he noted that despite the presence of grants and subsidies, housing remains prohibitively expensive for many Singaporeans, particularly those in lower income brackets.

In a Thursday (4 April) Facebook post, Assoc Prof Lim mentioned the concerns raised by a resident during house visits regarding the high prices of flats, which could potentially hinder their children from purchasing their own homes.

“This concern went beyond having a roof over one’s head. Not having a place also lends uncertainty about how independent one truly is, and may also lead to delays in deciding on whether one should start a family, ” he wrote.

Assoc Prof Lim said indeed since the 1990s, the price of HDB flats has stretched the budgets of more and more households.

Acknowledging the government’s target of achieving a house price-to-median income ratio of around 4, he explained that, with a median income of approximately S$10,000, this translates to flats selling for about S$480,000.

The govt seems to meet this target through a combination of grants and subsidies for both resale and Build-To-Order (BTO) flats. He further pointed out that the ratio is even slightly lower when compared to BTO flats rather than resale, due to additional grants available for BTO buyers.

 

“Yet even if we are willing to set aside the fact that this multiple is still regarded as unaffordable by some housing analysts, there remain problems with blithely accepting the current state of affairs.”

He highlighted that the ratio is computed using household incomes, assuming two working adults.

“In most other cities, it is calculated with median individual income; if we were to do so, the ratio will rise to the mid-5s, going into seriously unaffordable territory. ”

Unlike residents of other countries who may have the option to move to less expensive areas, such as the countryside, he said this isn’t a viable choice for most Singaporeans due to limited geographic options.

Assoc Prof Lim then further explained the problem with median family computation.

The ratio is computed relative to the median family income, meaning that for at least half the population, housing is even less affordable.

“And unlike other things people buy, it’s far from straightforward to find substitutes if one is lower income. ”

He added that the rental market in Singapore is small and typically more expensive than a mortgage, and downsizing may not be a feasible solution for young families as it could lead to uncomfortably cramped living conditions.

 

“The bottom line is this: housing, unlike many other purchases, is much more essential to one’s quality of life. With limited affordable alternatives, high HDB prices threaten this quality of life.”

He said despite the current slate of grants and subsidies, homes remain expensive for many Singaporeans, and all the more for those in lower income brackets.

While elevated house prices may benefit those already on the housing ladder by supporting their retirement incomes, the same cannot be said for young families who are struggling to afford housing, Assoc Prof Lim cautioned.

DPM Wong said affordability for four-room BTO flat prices in non-mature estates has improved

Despite concerns, particularly among the younger generation, about the affordability of public housing for achieving home ownership, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong defended the accessibility of owning a house in his Budget 2024 wrap-up speech on 28 February.

He said over the last 10 years, the average price of a four-room BTO flat in non-mature estates has remained relatively stable, even with rising median household incomes

He emphasized that, in real terms, the affordability of these flats has improved.

“The challenge we faced was with the prices of BTO flats in choicer locations, which are more expensive, ” he explained.

To address the issue, the government earlier introduced a new Standard, Plus and Prime framework. The framework aims to keep the BTO flats in these better locations affordable through more upfront subsidies.

 

“but it will be a fair system because the additional subsidies will be clawed back when the first owners sell the flats, ” added DPM Wong.

WP MP raises alarming concerns on housing affordability

Mr Muhamad Faisal Bin Abdul Manap, WP MP for Aljunied GRC had earlier highlighted two primary concerns, particularly for young Singaporeans from low-income households: affordability and availability.

He pointed out that the support of underemployment and savings packages is capped at S$30,000, resulting in challenges for households trying to purchase their own homes.

“If we assume a 50/50 split in the amounts a household receives for each section, the maximum amount a household receives for purchasing their own home is $15,000. ”

“After including the grants, the price of a three-room flat in the February 2024 launch of BTO projects ranges between $127,000 and $172,000. Assuming the household successfully applies for a housing loan, the downpayment involved would range between $25,400 and $34,400. ”

Mr Manap highlighted that this insufficient support makes it challenging for families, especially those with children, to save for their homes due to immediate daily needs.

Furthermore, he addressed the extended wait times for BTO units, affecting both middle-income and lower-income families.

For lower-income families with children, the living environments in rental flats may not be conducive for young children, impacting their development.

 

Mr Manap suggested a more proactive approach, such as prioritizing households ready to purchase their own homes in Sales of Balance Flats exercises or providing assistance in purchasing resale flats at subsidized prices.

Just a few days after its first-anniversary mark, Friends Kitchen HK at Neil Road will shutter its doors on April 29. 

The restaurant, which serves up Hong Kong-style zi char and live seafood dishes, announced its closure in an Instagram post last Monday (March 18), adding that this was due to rising costs.

"Over the past year, we have made many friends at Friends Kitchen HK, and we are very grateful for the support and encouragement from each and every one of you," read the post.

 

"However, the reality is harsh, and no matter how reluctant we are, we cannot resist the rise in prices and expenses. It is truly heartbreaking to make the decision to close our beloved restaurant that we have worked so hard to build."

 

Friends Kitchen HK is run by Hong Kong-born couple Vicky Lee, 35, and her husband Keith Wong, 37. It is the second branch of the Friends Cafe HK at Upper Thomson, which opened in 2021.

Speaking to Shin Min Daily News, the couple explained that they decided to open a second outlet as they had believed there would be greater footfall in central Singapore.

"But on long weekends, the entire street will be empty," they said.

 

Apart from the high rent, which had cost them a five-figure sum, Vicky and Keith shared with the Chinese daily that the rising cost of ingredients and the increase in salaries of their employees were some factors that contributed to their decision to close the restaurant.

The couple are also looking for someone to take over the business, as the eatery has two years left on its lease. If their search is unsuccessful, they may terminate the contract early, leading to more losses. 

After the closure of Friends Kitchen HK, the duo plan to focus on running their remaining outlet in Upper Thomson — though they admitted that they might take up other job opportunities to sustain their living expenses.

Vicky, who is a freelance makeup artist, told Shin Min that she is open to working at other restaurants, while Keith, who is a former engineer, said he might consider returning to the engineering industry.
