Well, who says we are a grouchy and unhappy nation? Latest world happiness report shows that we are ranked number 24 in the whole and that's the highest among all asian countries. Just to give some reference to this report, Japan is 46 and hong kong is 72. I have always thought that we are not as unhappy as we were made out to be.
Well, the title says it all. Well done again for an Asian country to be ranked not just among the top but at the top.
Is there oversupply in Iskandar? I am not surprised as highlighted in several of my articles that johor doesn't have the population or demand to sustain such boom in constructions.

The harbor facing units and again pretty much all walled up on the first floor.
Let's see how it looks when it is fully ready.
