Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

I have a frd working in ICA. There were times foreign visitors have dual citizenships. The system able to capture the discrepancies. He told me most of the time the snr officers just reminded to pax to produce the "right" passport so as to avoid unnecessary checks with HQ. So in sillypore so long u r rich ICA will turn a blind eye.

Alo...what you tokking huh...any ICA officers will tell you no dual citizenship...if officer knew anyone who possessed more than 1 passport already an offence and the person can be investigated and prosecuted...

So if your ICA Friend is not doing his job - anyone with multiple passports maybe a terrorist...putting Sinkieland in danger becos the guy may be a terrorists trying to bomb our country...

I doubt that ICA like what you describe...

Selamat Hari Raya to our Muslim friends...

System will prompt. He will refer to snr officer. They will chk with HQ. Thats what i neen told. The book may say tis and that. End of the day ICA still have the discretion whether to prosecute or otherwise. Hw cld u be so naive?

Another thing. Quite often we read pros fm certain countries being arrested and banned. Are u telling me those ICA officers are idiots and dont know hw to do profiling? U go figure out.

I just wonder, are the database of different countries all linked or shared together. If its not linked, then theres no way spore could know who is that foreigner. If its linked, then that would be very interesting.

If its not linked, then ICA most likely is just checking with their own database of marked persons.

True, and most friends who stays in this so called Kost executive werent there 24 hours, 7 days a week. Hence the calculation of the electricity bill need to plus minus a bit here and there.

Maintence fee at 1juta a month.

You see the different?
Hmm...so can i safely say that the electricity mentioned here were when your air-con were 24 turned on round the clock? For both high-rise apartment and your landed house you stayed in.

Thanks for your info, now i have another problem and i am going to find ways to solve it...

Noted.

All these info you shared were good info that i need to keep for reference.
Maybe I can provide another set of figure for your consideration.

We are staying in a 2 br landed house now. Fan in 1 br and ac in another br. No TV as not provided by landlord. Other things like fridge and washing machine applies. AC is on average 16 hours a day. Our electricity bill never go beyond 200k per month. But, of course, we are not staying in an expensive city like Batam. FYI.

I'll try to look around my laptop. Have a copy of Nagoya Homestay electricity bill from a few years back that you might find useful.

Without being linked or shared, then theres no way spore could know who is that foreigner. With this, then its v obvious spore ICA is just checking for fake passports and bad records from its own database and those from interpol. I doubt spore is keen to know whether a foreigner hold single or multiple citizenship.

My guess, the subsidies goes to locals but not foreigners. They also subsidize some non-luxury items (especially necessities) but tax more on luxury items.

High rise apartment i guess were under the category of luxury items,especially electricity.

If you or anyone were able to buy and stay in high-rise apartment , i dont see why that as stupid. Its more like the quality of life you seek. Imagine yourself staying in condo apartments in Singapore, its not stupid,hehehe...when the maintenance and/or electricity bill is at least 3 times higher as compared to Batam.

As mentioned above, i guess high-rise apartment/s were category under "luxury item",hence no subsidies, and even especially so for foreigners.

It all make sense then.

( Click to show/hide )
2. Under the strata title act in singapore, if there is a inter-floor water seepage between the upper floor and the lower floor in a condo, the upper floor owner is liable and responsible to carry out the repair. And if the water leakage is at the unit on the highest floor, then it is the responsibility of the management to carry out the repair at the roof since the roof is a common area which is maintained by the management.

However, if there is a ceiling leakage on your newly bought unit from the developer in Batam, the developer normally will provide either 5 or 10 years warranty to all the waterproofing work at all levels and will undertake to carry out the rectification work.

3. The rubbish chute is either inside the individual unit kitchen area or at the common corridor. They should have a refuse collection truck to remove rubbish from the condo daily. However, not sure whether the refuse collection in batam is efficient and reliable or not.


4. Lift breakdown can be an important issue for a high rise building. Lift contractor are supposed to attend to the breakdown within a certain time duration. But Batam is not Spore. As it may lacks qualified lift technician to repair and service the lift.

5. In spore, strata units (condo/Apt) are managed by professional managing agent. However, Batam may not have sufficient qualified people to maintain the building.

Thats quite true too. Hmm...one the condos in Batam i am looking at actually employ some Korea companies to run/manage the place,hehehe...and i think the later maintenance is not going to come cheap. Then again, i am also concern of how well they can manage the apartment block.

Electricity wise, i can still have some solution but maintenance is now my other concern.

I plan to go solar (if electricity is at such "scary price" in Batam),hehehe...just like whats on my living place in Singapore and i need to cut air-con usage too. Location now is all the more important than before if my apartment were to cut air-con usage,hehehe... need to be airy enough.

I am collecting more information as i go along in this thread.
