Yao Wenlong’s Quest for the Perfect Pad Finally Comes to a Close
After months of “house hunting” that felt more like a marathon than a stroll in the mall, the Malaysian star Yao Wenlong and his mate finally snapped up a double‑storey landed home in Johor Bahru.
Picture‑Perfect Instagram Moment
On Sunday, November 27, Yao dared to post a photo of himself and his wife posing in front of their new digs. The snapshot was all smiles and the kind of sweet background that screams, “We’re finally here!”
Why This House Was a No‑Brainer
- He’d scrolled through “a gazillion” of listings, finding none that ticked every box.
- What clinched the deal: the kitchen layout—“Chef‑friendly” for his wife, who loves whipping up meals.
- Both sons’ rooms share ensuite bathrooms and are identical in size, so there’s no grinding over bathroom prestige.
- Age wise, 17‑year‑old son and 7‑year‑old daughter can finally stretch out without fighting over a single toilet.
And while the kids are happy, Yao says the real priority was his wife’s happiness. “If she loves it, we’re good,” he joked in a light‑hearted tweet.
Financial Snapshot
— Size: 4,000 sq ft (just a touch bigger than three typical 5‑room flats)
— Price: RM 1.3 million (about $399,000)
— Renovations: RM 300,000 spent on windows, kitchen upgrades, and a dash of personality.
— Move‑in: Just before the Lunar New Year, so they can celebrate in their brand‑new backyard.
From House to Home
Yao traded in a 1,300 sq ft townhouse that he’d rocked for four years. “We’re selecting a place where we’ll spend the rest of our lives. No more cramped living,” he shared.
The new property boasts a spacious garden and outdoor area—perfect for barbeques, family hangouts, or just a weekend chill.
Final Thoughts
“We didn’t do a massive makeover; just a few windows and a revamped kitchen because my wife loves cooking,” Yao added with a grin. Now the family is all set: big bedrooms, shared bathrooms, a kitchen where culinary dreams come true, and an outdoor oasis for gathering.
Congratulations, Yao! May your new home be filled with laughter, love, and endless pizza nights.
