Can someone please advise how can we get back 100% of our deposit. I spoke to my lawyer and he said the only way we can get back our deposit, that too only 9% of the total 10% we have paid is if we show the developer that our loan has been rejected.
The lawyer did mention though to cehck with the developer verbally first whether they are willing to refund back 100% of the deposit wihout having the loans rejected

Anyone here has collected back 100%of their deposit? How you did?

will any of you set the meeting place and meet with Mr Lee??

 
May 23, 2008 at 5:18 PMAnonymous

June 12th is the detail hearing whereby both parties have to show evidences on the land transfer. The issue now is developer is saying land has been transfered but the other party is saying the land has not been transferred in accordance to the law of which the "trust" and other legal terms..comes into the picture.

May 24, 2008 at 1:23 AMAnonymous

Woo Hoo! When I posted my ealier blog on the potential negative effect of squatters on the development schedule, some people here said delay is NORMAL and Nusmetro must be given a chance to prove themselves...

So why are some of you panicking now already?! Give Nusmetro longer la! Worse come to the worse lose 10% only wat...

 
May 24, 2008 at 9:03 AMAnonymous

Wei fren, 10% will take years to safe. Not easy saving $$$ you know ?

Yep I agree with the anonymous above. Really REGRET did not buy THE SPRING.

I just got my money back.Better take your money back before they go bust !!! Oasis cheating people. Invest somewhere else.

 
May 24, 2008 at 1:09 PMAnonymous

How can you take ur money back so fast?

If we have sign the SPA, we can only get back money if our loan is being rejected.

Hav you sign the SPA?

What are you did to get the money so fast?

 
May 24, 2008 at 2:08 PMAnonymous

can take back 10%? how? they allow?

 
May 24, 2008 at 4:49 PMAnonymous

friend,my advise dun panic & wait till 2nd hearing then only make decision... 2nd hearing on June 12th

 
May 24, 2008 at 5:11 PMAnonymous

yup, don't fret yet..wait till the 2nd hearing before making any decisions..
I'm sure Nusmetro will return the 10% if the project didnt get green light from state government

 
May 24, 2008 at 6:34 PMAnonymous

I really very very sian with nusmetro dealing with us as a purchaser.
No Professionalism at all...
Can u as Nusmetro give us a sense of Responsible?
Received 10% for alomost 6months but no personal explanation to us.
What is happening?
What is this?
Is this the service provided to purchaser?
When called us to Buy talk till like Heaven never knows...
After Buy "CHoi lei to soh"... (dont care)...
I have been to the land and still nothing going on there.
Henry Buther ppl also dont care already...
All push to Mr.Lee to explain..

 
May 24, 2008 at 7:18 PMAnonymous

i believe anyone of us also dun aspect this happen, and i felt that let Mr Lee make explanation is better than others ppl or HB ppl expalin to us,coz he is the most suitable one for this case.
If we felt unconfortable than just make a call to Mr Lee rather than worry here n there end up still back to square 1.
since most of us d wait for many months,y dont we wait feel more weeks c what is happen.
out S&P is legaly protected,if nusmetro failed to cont the project sure we can get back our $$...

May 24, 2008 at 8:35 PMAnonymous

sure..nusmetro will send you an invite to come collect yur 10%...

 
May 24, 2008 at 10:26 PMAnonymous

hello guys, you seem inexperience with project hanging.. huh? just a sincere advice. Before you sign SP, you can cancel & take back your 10%. If they don;t pay you, write letter to Kementrian Perumahan in KL (that is the worst you can do). I booked I-regency 2.5yrs back, I cancelled & got back the deposit. I-regency was dragged and many buyers lost confidence. Somehow it is continuing if drive along yap chor ee.

If you have signed off, just ask your bank officer to non-officially help you issue a letter on housing loan rejection. Then you could get back the 10%. My friend just did that for a landed near Jelutong. Be smart.

To some of the anonymouse up there, why giving chances? You buy a house and yet have to worry about how developer progresses from ground 0 ? Isn't it funny ?
why not get some other projects with hassle free? sorry just browse this blog and giving some advice.

 
May 24, 2008 at 10:36 PMAnonymous

By the way, there are some other on-going/ to be completed projects like d'piazza, summer place, Palm palladium, the brezza and i-regency. Aren't they look attractive at all ? Don't they offer an ease of mind compared to your current one?

To the anonymous who posted this blog entry, i strongly support your statement..

but for those who realy share commend & experience, thanks for your advice

 
May 26, 2008 at 9:54 AMAnonymous

Can we actually get back 10% of the deposit money? The lawyer told me only 9%. To those who claim you have refunded the money after you signed the S&P, why dont you please share with the rest how you got back all the 10%?

 
May 26, 2008 at 10:05 AMAnonymous

The developer will not send an invitation letter asking us to come and collect our 10% after all the investment he has done to advertise this project. The squatters folks will not clear the land as obviously the land transfer did not happen legally as how is defined by the current state government.

We all need a back-up plan. Someone needs to talk to Lim Guan Eng to ensure not only the squatters ppl are taken care BUT also we buyers. He has help all of us to make sure we get back all our 10% of deposit. No point we go and see Mr.Lee, we have to go and see Lim Guan Eng.
Otherwise, none of us are going to get back our 10%. As per law, only 9% can be obtained, that too if u get your loan to be rejected.

 
May 26, 2008 at 5:00 PMAnonymous

Are we going to just sit here and wait? Why not we all gather all the buyers and report this to a local paper? We have all the rights to get the proper explanation from Nusmetro btu so far the developer did not even call up a meeting to explain on the delay. So far we have been informed of the different project starting dates.

1) Apr 2008 when we signed up the S&P

2) End of May 2008 when I called up Mr. Lee and spoke to him two weeks ago

3).............. now not very sure


If you all are serious in fighting for our rights as buyers, please provide me your name, unit number and hp#. Please send it to oasispenang@yahoo.com

Also, please post all your comments on the new blog that I set up previously.

http://oasispenang.blogspot.com/2008/05/oasis-penang.html

I have friends working in local newspapers as reporters. What I need is a collective voice to raise this issue.

Regards.

 
May 26, 2008 at 5:20 PMAnonymous

To The Oasis buyer, once u all get the refund maybe can try Palm Palladium located at Minden Heights. Another 2~3 months OC obtain.

 
May 26, 2008 at 6:13 PMAnonymous

Since we know there is second hearing on June 12th, why not we just wait till then and make decision?

If we do it now, I believed the answer will be:
1. There will be 2nd hearing on June 12th
2. Earthwork will start on July 1
3. If we did not deliver, we will compensate based on S&P
4. bla bla bla ....

They can start anytime as long they deliver in 3 years else compensate. Except there is rules that they need to start after 'x' period from S&P date.

If you make it big in newspaper, not sure what benefit to us as buyer.. faster to start? get refund? i just know definately bad impression to this property..

 
May 26, 2008 at 11:28 PMAnonymous

Nusmetro and Oasis is already on many peoples 'no-no' list

 
May 27, 2008 at 10:08 AMAnonymous

I agree that if we complain of any delays now, the answer would be that it has yet been delayed as according to S&P, a property is only deemed to be delayed if the developer fails to deliver after 3 years. The question is are we willing to wait for 3 years before we take any action? I beleive NOT as we rather take back the money and invest in another property. My opinion is, let us all wait till 12th of June, if the trial results not in favour to the developer,lets see the State Assesmblymen to push the developer in giving an option to all the buyers to cancel the S&P and return 100% of the payment.

i had a meet up with CIMB bank manager, he told me CIMB has blacklisted oasis project, meaning the will not process any endfinancing for this project.

 
May 27, 2008 at 12:17 PMAnonymous

Too bad Nusmetro and Oasis

 
May 27, 2008 at 4:21 PMAnonymous

CIMB.. ? ok...can somebody tell me why Maybank , AmBank and RHB Bank can give approval to Oasis case..i m the one to obtain the loan from Maybank. Its CIMB "big brothers" in our bank industrials ?

 
May 27, 2008 at 5:46 PMAnonymous

CIMB still a top 3 bank in Malaysia. If a project has been blacklisted by a major bank, it is matter. Maybank may follow, who knows, of course, for new application. For the loan approved earlier, they have to support as per the loan agreement.

Anyway, if the project failed within 3 years, accordingly to S&P, you can get back your 100% money, with condition the developer still alive.

 
May 27, 2008 at 10:49 PMAnonymous

fyi,since day1 (Oasis Soft launch) CIMB dont have the loan for this project...is not suddently reject.
is normal that some of the bank din provide loan for centain project.. OCBC also the same

Erm... I'm also 1 of the purchaser... of the oasis..
I think we should give the last chance for nusmetro until 1st July as promise by Nusmetro.
We already waited so long, just wait for just 1 month.
Let us see on 12th Jun hearing!

just had a conversation with friends. With petrol drastic price hike, incomplete or new properties will probably be the casualties of being abandoned! It is time to seriously think over.

 
June 7, 2008 at 9:07 AMAnonymous

yes. i agree with you and this will be a trial for every developer.
on another point of view, the property price will up soon (due to construction material price up and etc) and the analyser estimate that property price serious 1 will up till 50%, so if at this moment we din buy any house then in future this will be a big burden for those who buy a house.

gone?really or not the news??tomoro i will go to thier office to confrim,

 
June 11, 2008 at 1:20 PMAnonymous

hi all. pls stay calm. Someone is trying to panic everyone here. I juts spoke to the banker from MBB and he has advised us to wait for the full trial tommorow. The problem is not beacuse the indian squatter are having BIG HEAD. The problem simply is that the developer with the support from previous government only agreed to pay 80K to each family livnig there. There is good justification that they have the right to demand more from the developer. ONce developers agrees to this demand, they will vacate the land for the development to take off. The developer is being stubborn beacuse they got the land at a cheap price due to a contra of another land in town. But this is not a justification to pay less to the squatters as the compensation should be in par with the real value of the land regardless of how much the developer paid for it.

 
June 11, 2008 at 3:28 PMAnonymous

hi there,
i spoke to on of my friends who s a squatters there. Tomorrows court case, its actually the squatters whom drag the dev. & koperasi to court, not otherwise. They are trying to get an injunction to spot dev. or koperasi to obtain VP of the said land. Their reason are;
1. Land was sold below market price.
2. State govt. does not hv right to sell since its federal land.
3. Sold for somethg like 6mil but state govt. accs show discre. of 3mil.
4.Some documents of land sales was illegally proven been back dated.
Few weeks back the squatters used 3 of the residents to have injuction until tmrow hearing, that done because they will have some more people to do other injuctions if neccesary.
It vv unlikely if developer can win at the end of the day unless someones willing to be the acceptancy.

I just called Mr.Lee. He said nothing happened in the hearing today as the judge has to go through some doucments and etc Anyway, Nusmetro is not going to wait till the next hearing according to him. He said within the next 2 weeks, they will start ground work. July 1st, we shoudl see something. They are going by force it seems and already forsee problems of which they are ready to handle be it with the politicians or police.Also, he said the purchase price of the units will go up.

June 13, 2008 at 10:31 AMAnonymous

seriously speaking, do u really think Nusmetro will be able to start clearing the land with the squatters around?

put yourself in the squatter's position, do u think you'll let someone bulldoze your house/land without any letter of intent, court order or police order?

pls wake up & smell the coffee in case you're still blur after being lied by Mr Lee through his teeth.

June 13, 2008 at 12:06 PMAnonymous

ya agreed, there is no point to argued or anxious here... esspecially for purchaser.
So, just wait for 2 more weeks...
If nothing happen then I think all purchaser will no how to do right?
As all purchaser is smart enough to make their decision right...
To all puchaser: nusmetro said that they will send us letter of explanation.

 
June 13, 2008 at 2:20 PMAnonymous

wahhhh still want to wait ah? everytime only wait wait and see see.....1/2 a year ago also wait, 3 months ago also wait. after june 11 hearing also wait, now also wait...happy waiting!

 
June 13, 2008 at 3:28 PMAnonymous

The court has dismiss the application of VP from the dev. & koperasi. Sept 11 is suppose the hearing date of the appeal frm the dev. & Koperasi over the dismissal. Now the judge has set for the appeal by the dev. & the application againts the eviction frm squatters to be heard on the same date. Meaning the Dev. or Koperasi hasnt obtain the Vacant Possesion of the said land. Without VP dev. cld not move into the land.
How do Nusmetro convinced us that they will be moving in by this 2 weeks, they will be doing it againts the high court then. This will mean that they are asking for more trouble. They could only move after Sept 11, having said that after Sept 11 if their appeal is granted and the squatters application is rejected by the judge.Then again the first defendant will be the TimurLaut land office, meaning the hearing are bound to be elobrated and will take some time or rather a long time...winning is another matter? With the new state govt. I could not see this matter can be resolve in nusmetros' favor, dealings that been done during the old govt. has resulted in many lop holes. By the way Pakatan Rakyat are saying they are ready to take over the federal by Sept. Our hearing is also in Sept. Its best to decide right now than wait for decisions thats not within our control.
Making us happy saying that they are going to raise the property price after all is settle sounds more like a scam to me. The building price is definately going up any whre now generally, with fuel prices and bank lending rates that pretty much escalting soon..At the end of the day developers shd know that its the purchasing power of the buyers that plays the outmost role. Once the purchasing power is weaken they will be nothing for then to sell.

 
June 13, 2008 at 5:16 PMAnonymous

any advice what we could as this point as purchaser?

 
June 13, 2008 at 5:49 PMAnonymous

I cant understand why Nusmetro keep convincing the buyers over n over again. Why not say there is a problem and they could not decide until the court decides. Rather then pepectually given thin reasoning. This time is that they will move in 2 weeks time. To me its rubbish!!! They definantely cant move in, and I believe they wont be able to move in around this year at all. I bought the unit during launching day, thats in Nov 07....its almost 7 months. And they keep asking their clerk and sales people to tell us they have got the title....wht good if you have a car but doesnt have the keys to it. I ask the sales people whts the meaning of the title of land , they themself doesnt know whts the defination of title and whts vacant possesion or whts injunction.

i also booked at NOv 2007.i so disapointed with the developer.last week i have go to their office and meet the sale ppl ..he tell me that the developer at the moment dun want do any explaination to all the BUYER..cos NO POINT..the main thing NOw is Settle the squatter...(that mean he dun CAre About us..) i dun mind that if they really delay the Project..BUt..at least they must Give all the existing BUYER some IDEAL What going on right...we pay ROUND 30K but???what we get,,..nothing,,,..a simple explain they also dun want to action...ai.....

If we are already sick and tired of all the excuses and not willing to wait any longer, what can we do? What are the options available for us to get back our money and back-off from this project? Can someone please advise?

 
June 17, 2008 at 5:14 PMAnonymous

When i first called up Nusmetro on the day they had Full-Trial to enquire on the result,the operator/Sales Person who answered my call was very rude to me too. I humbly asked her for updates regarding the Full Trial and this lady asked me back exactly this " What? What Full Trial? I dont understand What Full Trial". I got so pissed-off, and asked her back in a stern voice whetehr she is realyl working for Nusmetro and if she is dont tell me you dont know wat is happenign with your own project".Only then she said "oooh..project" and quickly passed the phone to Mr. Lee. Gosh, i cant imagine a developer who is building a luxury condo can employ workes who dont even know how to talk to their customers

 
June 17, 2008 at 5:26 PMAnonymous

reply to teh above,
i think at the moment now,WHAT we also cant do...NOTHING we can do...wait n wait...No longer wait,,,we spent almost 30k in this project,..but..what we get is wait...ok..

To all buyers,

I'm not a buyer but I went through this blog and pity you guys.

I wonder if you all have signed the SPA and bank loan? If nothing is signed, then you are all safe. Can request for refund since there is no binding obligation here. Take Nusmetro to court if they refuse to refund. They have no right to hold on to your money.

However, if SPA and loan has been signed, then a bit difficult. You can try reading through the SPA and see if there is any clause which is in favour of buyer. Eg: In the event of dispute, what are the compensation developer owe buyer? Is there a time frame set against the developer to do anything? That sort of clause. Surely there is as the SPA will spells out the security for both buyers and developer.

Also, bank are not suppose to release money to developer in the event of dispute/project is unsure. Call and make sure the bank doesn't release money to Nusmetro. Else you will be owing bank money for something which you will not be getting.

Good luck to you all! The above is just my opinion.

 
June 17, 2008 at 10:30 PMAnonymous

I also not a buyer. Just a word of advice. To cut short long term pain, ask your bank to hold the payment until further notice.

Do not let the developer withdraw any money from your bank without knowing the progress. This case may/ may not be similar to those happened back 10yrs ago (eg: majestic height, pernas teluk air tawar, and so on)

My friend made a quick call back in 1998 when most of housing projects were facing problem of project being stalled. He ordered the bank to stop even though 40% had been released. He escaped further suffering but other owners lost >70% when that developer declared 'run away'.

Hope this helps.

 
June 18, 2008 at 7:11 AMAnonymous

Do not worry much on bank loan portion. Developer won't request any money from loan as long no progress. As stated in SPA, you can find the progressive % draw depends on the construction status.

I would choose to wait wait wait as already sign the SPA and bank loan. Had checked with lawyer. There are two options avaialble: 1) Wait wait wait 2) Terminate the contract. Still waiting for more information from lawyer what is the impact to my 10% if terminate the contract. Definately the SPA and bank loan agreement fees is gone.

Oasis,

Im in same condition with you, as i know if terminate at this time we will lost our 10%.
Do give me an update if you get any update fr ur lawyer.

Hi guys, i pity you all.
Numestro ppl must talk nicely la, you all NOT paid them small amount wat..BIG money from BIG heart work. Y u didnt ask that gal name? y s0 ruth!! They cant start their work until they get permission from court. They lie to you all that they will start clearing that land within this 2weeks. STOP give us bulshitt promises!!!

 
June 18, 2008 at 4:03 PMAnonymous

Know your rights before doing anything. If we terminate our contract now, we wont lose 10%. Read the S&P, it says termination after 10% has been paid or no Progress of work yet, the damage is only 1% from the parcel price. Get another lawyer to advise, we ll be more clear, definately we wont lose 10% or 30K. If the parcel price is 300k we will lose 3k.

 
June 18, 2008 at 4:12 PMAnonymous

so..we loss 3 k for the termination ..then how about the S n P LAWYER FEE..?i pay 3k also..i stil not yet attach to any bank yet..ai...so kek sim...

 
June 18, 2008 at 5:31 PMAnonymous

Esther, definately the S&P will be underwater. More important now is the 10%. Developer said that 10% will gone if bank already approved. Need to check the S&P again on this.

June 19, 2008 at 9:51 AMAnonymous

how do you know the developer reads this blog ?

 
June 19, 2008 at 12:00 PMAnonymous

Hi all,
Actually no point you guys go to developers office.We all know that obviously the developer is keen to start the work but what is stopping them is something not within their control.There is high chance the developer will not able to simply vacate the squatter by force as they claim they can do as this country has it's own laws, nobody can take the law in their hands and do such an evil thing as demolishing ppl's home when they are still in their house!. We are from a civilized country,i hope the developer is aware of this before they try to convince the buyers that they can vacate the ppl by force. Having said this, wat we can do is the following:-
1] If you have signed the S&P and the loan = You can only wait or if you quit, whatever you have paid will just fly away. Wait till the court grants them Court Order to vacate the squatters which nobody knowns when will happen. At least we are sure it wont happen before Sept 2008
2] IF you have signed the S&P BUT not yet the loan = You can get back 9% of the 10% you have paid
3] If you have NOT signed the S&P, you can get back whatever money you have paid

 
June 19, 2008 at 12:38 PMAnonymous

jz passing thru & wana comment something as well. if you have paid the lawyer fees on your own, then you should consider it as part of charity money to Oasis project cos there can be no refund for that..

 
June 19, 2008 at 1:22 PMAnonymous

So Panic now?

Btw...how many purchaser already signed the SPA and haven't sign the load agreement and successfully pull out and get back the money?

another question:
how many purchaser alrady pull out and get back the 10%?

Actually i go to the Nusmetro sale gallery last Fri and i found that the units being sold are increased. I wonder how this can be happened and now ~200? Do you all think that this is true or they simply din remove the red pins? Anyone can comment?

more bad news on today's papers, looks like the squatters will fight on and on. i seriously doubt that this project will make it in time,it will experience serious delays or completely collapse. more head-aches

June 22, 2008 at 1:16 PMAnonymous

Good day, guys i'm sad to say that this project is just another LAND SCAM. Please go back to Jun 10th comments by racing. That answers most of yor doubts. Be pratical, if KP/DV has the land transferd 100%, what's the big fuss over getting a VP from the court?
If the DV really offered up to 260k, don't u think the kg people would have grabbed it?
Out of 31 Tol holders 11 have taken up the compensation, to be excat only 6 are original tol holders the bal 5 families are there only as a tenant. So the chances of the 5 original tol holders to put up a case in court over the compensation are very high. That will drag for few weeks or months ....
Guys a lot of grey area on the land issue itself, not the squatters. Get more info......

 
June 22, 2008 at 2:28 PMAnonymous

Hi oasis ,To be frank this piece of land belongs to Federal govt.Thus there's no supporting documents saying that the land have been transfered from Federal govt to State govt. So has the DV/KP has any right to own the piece of land? Y was the appeal to get the VP by DV was dismissed on jun hearing?
Look deeper on this project, it's only going to cause u guys to burn your 10%. Good day.

since Nusmetro MD had made the decision & give us empty promise, he should give explanation to we buyer and nor always turn to Mr Lee....
Thomas Chan, be a responsible MD & developer k....

 
June 23, 2008 at 7:19 PMAnonymous

Nusmetro, Thomas Chan, Mr.Lee...
Please be a responsible developer and feedback to us what is going on?
Don't just hide from us (purchaser).
How long we have to wait?
You all are fooling us around...
Giving empty promises...
Just said you all do not have confidence to lay off those squatter.
It is just a dissapointment on the services provided by Nusmetro Developer.
I will withdraw out if nothing happen till mid july as promise by Nusmetro to start the clearing already...
:(

 
June 23, 2008 at 8:52 PMAnonymous

buyers,lets unite and redraw from oasis if Nusmetro still keep quiet & do nothing...date line : mid July

 
June 24, 2008 at 11:59 PMAnonymous

Thomas Chan, director of Nusmetro where are you ? Please come forward to explain the whole issue to us.And also Teoh Poh Huat, director of Henry Buther,Penang..please dont run away from this issue cause your company is a marketing agent for this project somemore order your staff talk about the good thing about the developer during the lauching time in Jan 2008.

 
June 25, 2008 at 2:20 PMAnonymous

Good day guys. So did u people get any explanantions from the developer or the sales agent? If yes please update the rest of us. If no then u people better start pressing the panic button cause it's better to be now rather then later. Loose 3k or 30k !!!
By the way Racing, did u get any latest information from your friend?

 
June 25, 2008 at 3:47 PMAnonymous

I heard that developer going to send out letter for explaination by end of this week. Anyone call up Mr Lee whether any new update on their discussion with government after last Friday incident?

 
June 25, 2008 at 8:17 PMAnonymous

Yes... developer will send out the letter by end of this week as stated by Mr.Lee...
It still have 2 years & 9months to go as sign from the S&P...
There are still alot of times even they delayed it another 3months...
As long as they can finish it within the time frame it is not a problem rite?
The most important is u will get the condo end of the S&P u have signed.

 
June 25, 2008 at 10:43 PMAnonymous

ya man..nusmetro can finish 1 floor in 1 week... :)

So what did Mr Lee say? When is the next hearing and what are they doing to make sure they will be able to get the squatters cleared?

 
June 26, 2008 at 12:39 PMAnonymous

hi to all genuine Oasis owners,
did u happen to notice that only few of us actually post our blog here? how about the rest? how many units are actually sold? forget about those who pose silly -ve remarks but i'm worried that the actual sold units are lower than what Nusmetro told us..

 
June 26, 2008 at 1:59 PMAnonymous

Hi all,I dont think we have to worry about how many units have been sold at this point of time. Everyone knows that due to its strategic place and value for money,I am sure OASIS will have more buyers once the development kick-starts.Better for us to keep focusing on how we can get first hand info on when the squatters can be cleared and hence the development can start.It will be helpful if those who have frens who are politicians or the squatters to share their side of story on whether there is hope that the squatters can be cleared anytime soon.Also those who have more info on the upcoming trial, please do share on what is exactly going to happen.As for those who are goign to see Mr.Lee, please share with us what is Mr.Lee doing to ensure this issues is solved soonest possible.

 
June 26, 2008 at 2:25 PMAnonymous

If the actual units that sold is lower than display, sometime might be good for developer since the material cost going to increase. They could raise the unit cost and won't burden them much compare to unable to raise $$$ on those units already sold

 
June 26, 2008 at 2:45 PMAnonymous

That is very true.In due time, once the development starts,they are definately going to increase the price of those units which has yet been sold and with that, it woint affect the quality.Our worry is whether this is going to be delayed endlessly as everyone knows, once the case goes to court,it may drag and drag for years.So whoever has the details on what is goign to happen in the court hearing soon, please share.When is the next hearing?And till then is Mr.Lee doing something?Can someone ask this to Mr.Lee and share with everyone.

 
June 26, 2008 at 4:22 PMAnonymous

They can increase price but who is going to buy as Nusmetro have such a bad reputation already. Their name is so notorious in Penang property and if they were to offer discounts or whatsoever I doubt people will buy them.

 
June 26, 2008 at 4:47 PMAnonymous

I hope you won't sound so pessimestic.What makes you say Nusmetro is notorious?It is not that they have swinddled our money and left or sitting down doing nothing after taking our money.Lets not be emotional and share news with each other.Btw,i too spoke to Mr.Lee.He will be sending all the genuine buyer a letter stating the details of what is happening and in fact they are pursuing for another court order,this time getting relevant documents from the land office to be handed over to the judge.They are awaiting the date for this before sending us the letter.

 
June 26, 2008 at 5:03 PMAnonymous

why Mr Lee ? He just a worker or so call manager of Nusmetro.The director- Thomas Chan should come forward..his is the one to know the whole issued...Thomas Chan..we understand u r also reading this blog. We just need your HELP..NOT everything pass it to Mr Lee...

 
June 27, 2008 at 3:44 PMAnonymous

haha... of coz... pass it to Mr.Lee la... else hire him for wat wo...
better don't hire and evrything do by Thomas Chan....

Wat to do jus wait lo...
else all purchaser unite more than the squatter and call the squatter get off and kick start the project lo...:(...

 
June 29, 2008 at 12:15 AMAnonymous

Agreed ! Thomas Chan should tell us more instead of Mr Lee.It same as Henry Butcher's Director Teoh Poh Huat instead of the sales agents. All of them get salary from their big boss.

 
June 30, 2008 at 8:17 AMAnonymous

Anyone had received letter send out by Nusmetro on explaination?

Anyone knows the update on the new court order?

 
June 30, 2008 at 2:28 PMAnonymous

i went to the site just now (30 June 2008).i dont see any sign for the construction will start tomorrow (1st July 2008)as Mr Lee and sales staff told me.So...its means i still need to wait and wait, listen to them again ?

 
June 30, 2008 at 4:41 PMAnonymous

Anyone can say that they will move in by 1st July or any other dates, but the truth is Nusmetro cant move in unless they get a Vacant Possesion of the said land and thus' get the court order to remove the squatters. If you dont get the VP there is no way you can get them to move out. Not even in September 08, unless of course the court rules in favour of the dev.
Looking at the summary of the hearing, I doubt nusmetro can move in by this year at least. Telling us that they will move in is just buying time. It depends whtr buyers are still have the means n time to sell to them. Nusmetro must find a way to talk to the squatters n find a way to settle them. The longer they take n the more they instigate the squatters the higher will their demands be.

 
June 30, 2008 at 5:20 PMAnonymous

Can someone call up Nusmetro and tell them to just go ahead and meet the squatters demand ASAP. They can always hike up the OASIS price for those new buyers to have yet to sign S&P to cover the new expenses. By them simply issuing another court order,waiting for next trial and etc, its only going to cause more havoc and making the buyers to loose confidence. PDC,IJM are coming up with new projects soon and if something doesnt happen soon,i dont think ppl will be hesitant to loose a bit of money now then more later.

 
July 1, 2008 at 6:58 PMAnonymous

Hope i can witdraw back my money from the SnP and use the money as down payment for others projects.

No confident with Oasis

 
July 2, 2008 at 10:34 AMAnonymous

Anyone had receive the letter?

 
July 2, 2008 at 3:21 PMAnonymous

Are there any reason why anyone wld expect the letter? What would you think they will write to tell the buyers?
Are they going to tell that we have got the title for the land but cld move in bcause we cant get the VP since there has been an injunction?
Or...again, give a time frame that they will move in indue time, and then do a drama show, with heavy machinery awaiting to move in at the site- having policeman, politicians and residence in the presence...make us think that the squatters are only their hindrance and will be settled in due time.
I am a little concern about the brutal ways the dev. is doing things. cont....

 
July 2, 2008 at 3:32 PMAnonymous

Innitially, I was told by my friend whc is part of the squatters, that the first few times when they had the meeting with the dev. one of the big 2..DIRECTORS had bluntly uttered that the squatters are the most tiny bit of problem they will have to face,he has made reference to their earlier project in Jelutong, which they even manage to settle many more squatters whc compromise many hardheaded gangsters there. This in turn has resulted the squatters here to make a pledge that they wont give in easily to Nusmetro...cont

 
July 2, 2008 at 3:42 PMAnonymous

If at all there is a settlement reached between them, whc wouldnt come cheap at this point, there is another hindrance!!! The VP was not obtained!! You dont received the VP not bcause of the squatters as Nusmestro is trying to show the buyers, VP hasnt been obtained because the transfer of land is done incorrectly. There is a question that the state have no right to sell the land since that land belongs to the federal govt. and there has been a great sum whch is purportely paid by nusmetro but doesnt seems to apprear in the states account.

 
July 2, 2008 at 3:53 PMAnonymous

What I think Nusmetro is trying hard to do now is, get the squatters to move out so that they can occupy the land and try their luck to start work even without obtaining the VP.
Hence, law is as no use if there is no proper enforcement to it, they will go on building. They will start tackling issues along the way, like if bankers query abt VP b4 disbursing buyers endfinancing.
At the end of the day, when everythg is completed, they will have problems obtaining OC, and at that point they will have the buyers voices in pressuring the authorities in getting OCs.On the other hand they will tell buyers that they have completed the building but it is the Govt. or the authorities who s not giving the OC. Well, they have draw down almost 90% from the bank at that time.

 
July 2, 2008 at 5:32 PMAnonymous

racing, are you saying we all shld just forget about waiting any longer and just withdraw from this project immediately?I too am not bothered about the letter per say, all i want is the project to kick-off legally.

 
July 2, 2008 at 6:59 PMAnonymous

racing, when do you plan to withdraw since u have so much frustration with this project?

 
July 2, 2008 at 11:25 PMAnonymous

Each one of us have to make our own decision, basically I am not frustrated, never have! I gave Nusmetro sometime just for the benefit of doubt. The reason I wrote is to tell everyone what is the current situation because I sense that many buyers are not aware and can be taken with endless meaningless reasons. Many has immediately applied and sign the loan agreement and now are stuck...redrawing means loosing 10%. As for me, I did not even apply for loan although Numestro been calling me & giving my contact no. to various bankers....I told them that you have not even taken possession of the land, what's the hurry?? Now, what about other fellow buyers, those whom are not aware, feels that everything has to be done fast, with endless calls from Nusmetro & their fellow bankers....this could be considered a scam too, why haven,t they told buyers that they couldn't have the possession and there is no need to sign for loan yet rather than urging them to take up loan and be stuck with them now. Back to someones earlier "?" why would you want to know whether I have redraw or not, look at whether each one of us can afford it or not..afford to loose 1%, loose 10% now, or take our chances, each one of us are not the same, what I can afford you might not and vice versa. The most important thing now, is someone has to make clear of the real scenario...many buyers are not aware, buying a house and all the implication is not easy to understand...its a jungle out there.

 
July 2, 2008 at 11:34 PMAnonymous

Oh ya!! do you mean to ask when I will redraw from this project or redraw from posting in this blog???
I like, myself to be made perfectly cleared here.

 
July 3, 2008 at 7:51 AMAnonymous

Confuse!! you message have conflict information. one hand your message so confident that project will not success while on the other hand will not withdraw. i would think you are kind of rich which does not care of the 10%

 
July 4, 2008 at 10:55 AMAnonymous

Confused, you definately are confused as your nick names depicts -:) What racing is saying is this. To those who have already taken loan, you CANNOT redeem back a single cent that you have given to the developer, which means u will be loosing 10% if you backoff from the project. To those who have signed the S&P but yet to confirm the loan, if you get the loan rejects, you can deem back 9%. To those who have yet to even sign S&P, you are only goign to loose the booking fee i reckon whcih is 1%. So, conclusion, everyone decision has to be your own based on whether you can afford the lost.BUT, everyone as racing says needs to be aware on what is happening. The project simply cannot get started if the squatters area is not cleared and the squatters ppl will not clear the land unless you give them what they want or if developer gets the VP of the land of which is doubtful because the land ownership is still a questionmark now. I hope whoever is still confused will be clearer now.

 
July 4, 2008 at 12:27 PMAnonymous

Since this problem has no end. Why dont we bring this issue to the local assemblyman? Does anyone knows any politician? This seems to be the best solution.

 
July 4, 2008 at 3:02 PMAnonymous

I agree with what the Politician is saying. The best approach for us as buyers is to go and talk to the Politicians so that they can advise us. They either get the developer to give back all our money in regardless of whetehr we have signed or have not signed the S&P or help the developer to come in consenses with the squatters so that eveyrthing is clear.I am sorry as i do not know any Politicians but i would be glad if someone can pursue this.

 
July 5, 2008 at 12:16 AMAnonymous

I tot Lim Guan Eng has already been pulled into this? Which other politician do you want to call?

 
July 5, 2008 at 2:37 PMAnonymous

hi all,
i just pass by the site..stil nothing happen ..ai......

 
July 5, 2008 at 2:56 PMAnonymous

The politicians are only now concerned over the welfare of the squatters, we need to highlight to the politicians that there are buyers who have already paid 10% and waiting eagerly to get the project kicked-off any this delay is causing unneccessary and unfair anxiety to the buyers.We need to communicate this to the politicians soones possible

 
July 5, 2008 at 3:02 PMAnonymous

Mr Lee told us last week that they will send a letter to the all purchasers but until today (saturday)...NOTHING !i also call up Henry butcher office to seek Mr Teoh Poh Huat (Director) for help cause they are the marketing agent for the Oasis but the secretary told me " please go to the developer office... Mr Teoh is not the person in charged.. we are the marketing agents only" So..call to the developer office..The answer wat i get is " u will receive the letter by next week" All of them are playing football and treat us as the ball to kick....shall we complaint it to the REDHA or CAP ?

 
July 6, 2008 at 3:25 AMAnonymous

Perhaps you guys can be like serina bay buyers where they collectively hire lawyers to go against the developer. Since in this case numestro does not have the VP yet they start selling, the court might order numestro to refund all buyers in full. Name Henry Butcher as defendant as well for misleading the buyers into parting their monies.

 
July 6, 2008 at 4:17 PMAnonymous

good idea. let them kan cheong a bit and show them we buyers mean business! I cant understand how henry butcher can behave like dat oso..

 
July 6, 2008 at 9:15 PMAnonymous

Good!

Lets us meet together; please confirm time, venue, which lawyer to hire, to tie in Lim Guan Eng and media. Get Sinchiew and KwangHwa reporters together to publish the latest negotiation.
Let us push the developer and Henry butcher.

you think the chief minister of penang lim guan eng is so damn free to tie with you ah...
don't dream la...
still wanna call up politician and media... talk that since long time but still nothing happen...la...
talk talk talk....
now u have two choice:
1. treat that as investment
If u win u get ur ROI increase.
2. withdraw out and buy/invest to other property. with the losing of 1% and some legal fees (for those havent sign loan)

 
July 7, 2008 at 4:17 PMAnonymous

Lim Guan Eng has been pulled into this? Seriously? Then how come no reaction has been taken? Is Jeff Ooi into this too? I think Jeff might be able to help........... we dont want to vote for a party leader who only look for one sided interests........... we as buyers are as anxious as the squatters......... we want a fair deal..............

i am so sorry to heard that The Oasis project..although i am not the purchaser of the said project BUT i want to share with you guys about the so call agent- Henry Buthcer..I bought the Ratu Mutiara project-The Costal Tower,Tanjung Bungah back to 2002, i have been told by HB's staff Angeline Woo that the unit i bought is fully seaview and there will be NOT OTHER NEW PROJECT will come up in front of the Coastal Tower, so i trust her words and bought that unit. Now..in front of the Coastal Tower u will see Waterfront Condo and Surin Condo (HB also marketing this project last year).I called Angeline Woo when the time we obtained OC for Coastal Tower (2005),she told me that she are not aware about other projects.So..the Henry Buther can not be trust.This a mistake for me to trust them !

To the victim of henry butcher...the basic rule is never trusts the sales agent. They will always say 'flowers are always fragrant'. Back in 8yrs ago, i remembered a sales agent described to the extend that she could elaborate the birds flew above the sky and sweet bird sound...! I did not buy that.

To the pathetic guy saying 'talk, talk, talk..' up there, he seems like a developer. He does not care about those have already signed up and paid a big sum of money there. Did you mean we should continue investing knowing that it does not bear fruits in due time ? We talked and gave ideas and if ideas are actinable we will act on it.. including calling up Lim guan eng for help.

What have you done? being pethatic and continue to be pethatic while waiting for your money to be burnt off ?

Yes, i agree! To the guy..'talk, talk and talk' up there, it is you who should wake up. Please give constructive ideas and not leading us to the death terrain.

By telling us to continue investing is so irresponsible and inhumane!!

 
July 8, 2008 at 9:22 AMAnonymous

there is point on that also...
have u all ever get any help from politician rather then just confess here?
the ridiculous guy/woman "talk talk talk" up there do not ask u to continue investment...
is option there 1 or 2....
please read careful...
I also hope for a change...
But no one here will b hero to use up their time to ask the politician for help.
if yes u already famous... in the media...

The Henry Butcher in other country is very professional, the will do the homework before they commit to become the marketing agent for those developer. Last time I and my friends visit Australia, my friend is planning to buy a house in Melbourne, Australia and we get contact to HB australia. We are very impress that the presentation from agent regarding ROI, the population growth in that area developer background, transport services, risk and etc.

Those data proved to be solid untill now since my friend purchase the unit 3 years ago. Compare to HB penang when I'm looking for the units in Penang Oasis and D Piazza, I believe the agents and HB penang is not doing the homework well. The D'Piaza developer, their process is not so organize and not so professional like IJM. For Oasis case, the land title haven't been approve, HB dare to commit become nusmetro sales agent. I believe alot of people purchase Oasis condo, part of the factor is because Henry Butcher as branded name.

As some one mention above, if the developer fail to settle the issues, u all can put HB as defendant and HB should responsible and pay for their mistakes. U think HB can be easily run out from their responsible? Sorry no way. It will depend how you all handle it.
Just get an advise from expert. Hope it will help.

I get the update status letter from Nusmetro.

They said that they planned to have summary judgement on 31 July 2008 (fixed already).

They show the progress as well.

They said want to start construction July/August 2008.

They just need 22 months to complete the project.

So, I think they can make it and we going to earn 30 to 50k due to petrol hike.

Let's wait and see summary judgement on July 31 again...

 
July 9, 2008 at 3:25 PMAnonymous

hi! nusmetro already send letter to all purchaser to explain on the issues...
I already received it...

July 9, 2008 at 3:29 PMAnonymous

Ur choice...no one force u...

July 9, 2008 at 4:03 PMAnonymous

July 9, 2008 at 4:55 PMAnonymous

YES YES YES... finally I received the letter sent to me yesterday.......... Have been waiting for too long such an explanation from Nusmetro. At least know I am convinced that Nusmetro is serious about Oasis.......... and I start to feel good about it. Lets wait and see what happens on July 31!

 
July 9, 2008 at 5:28 PMAnonymous

nice to know that some of you still stay with oasis, realy hope that nusmetro can build a good quality condo in a short lead time.
realy hope that they able to overcome all this and everything will run smooth.

 
July 9, 2008 at 6:18 PMAnonymous

Yoyo...actually I check the blog everyday....I am there everyday...So eager...but not too relieve also...let see how the thing happen. I really like the strategy location and nice condo...
Nusmetro...is your showtime...

 
July 9, 2008 at 11:23 PMAnonymous

yaya... same as me... bms...
me too.. looking at the blog
seeing wat happening all around..
Is nusmetro showtime... now..
haha...
after the settle the squatter it will time for us to talk about the others to improve the oasis.
Just to share.. I when for badminton inside Putra Place that is next to Villa Emas. There is a badminton court there and they charge RM9/= per hours.
I hope that Nusmetro will consider on a badminton court for renting as to earn some money for the oasis maintenance... rather then Squash Court where not much ppl will be interested on that...
of coz.. if have boths will b the best la...

Yes, I also received a letter from Nusmetro yesterday. The content of the letter is what they told me when I went to their office last time. I'm not sure they will take their words or not. Yes, they did tell me they only take 22 months to complete their part which is only 700 sqft. The rest 400+ sqft is done by another company. That company will only take around 4 months to extend the unit to become 1000+ sqft. If this is the case, I'm not sure how is the quality of The Oasis. Or, this is the normal duration to complete one condo. But don't forget, there is one Jacuzzi @ 14th floor. This is not an easy work to complete it. Of cause, I hope Oasis can be a quality condo in penang.

 
July 11, 2008 at 9:10 AMAnonymous

The 22months to finish a condominium is usual in penang as they already use to it to build high rise building very fast.
Actually, I don't really care there is a jacuzzi at 14 floors or not. Even if they scrap it I won't feel upset.

 
July 11, 2008 at 9:26 AMAnonymous

i stay at bayswater & everyday i observe platino construction progress, found that the pilling & ground work already take bout 6months, and only they put the cement for a floor they will wait for >3days to let the cement dry then only proceed for nxt stage.
i believe that nusmetro can complete the project on time coz the wall is using pre-cast concrete panel (lego method), but the problem is how are they going to control the quality since they have short lead time.... hope that they will put quality at the 1st place

 
July 11, 2008 at 11:34 PMAnonymous

To the victims of Henry Butcher,i would like to share with u all that in Penang there still have a lots real estate agency,if u having any proplem,u also can rise up and get the advice from them about the projects marketing by HB.Please be aware people like Teoh Poh Huat, Angeline Woo and Helen Tan (real name is Teoh Poh Ean cause she dont want people know that she is sister to Teoh PH) cause they are in this market so many years and also know well how to market the projects.

If I not mistaken, The Oasis is the 1st high rise project for Nusmetro. They only used to build a landed terrace house in mother land. For high rise, 30+th floor, high dense... I think they have no much experience on it. I also not care about the Jacuzzi @ 14th floor. I more prefer gym room, reading room, game room build @ 14th floor instead of Jacuzzi. Just imagine that, you are looking at the sea/penang bridge ... beautiful view when you doing your gym or reading, just like a Celebrity Gym Center in Gurney plaza...so cool! Jacuzzi can be build near or beside swimming pool... wet activities group together in wet area. Just read the updated news, according to the Bank Negara representative said that BLR will be increased in this July. Stress and stress...

 
July 13, 2008 at 12:49 AMAnonymous

yes agree with abc...
wet activities should b group together..at down.
I also prefer gym room or reading room to be in 14th floor...
is really a disaster if 14th floor with jacuzzi... make the condo wet everywhere and mess...

 
July 14, 2008 at 11:11 AMAnonymous

yes. if jacuzzi move to pool side then will solved lift wet issue, coz most of the ppl go swimming + jacuzzi at the same time.
with such plan it will also save cost for jacuzzi pump & pipping cost and in the same time 13floor ppl will not worry bout the water leaking.
any suggesting on the BBQ area??
if the BBQ area move to pool side this will prevent visitor simply walk in high rise building and more privacy for high rise resident.

 
July 16, 2008 at 10:49 AMAnonymous

Ya agreed... the BBQ area should also be move to other place instate of at 14 floor as it will b a havoc that ppl will walking up & down and smokes will all over the place and for the floor near to 14 will deeply affected...
The 14 floor should reserve as gym room, multi purpose hall, or etc.. for relaxation place for residents only....
Those BBQ N' jacuzzi will jus create alot issue where alot of outsider will b in N' out. N' residents will hav no privacy.

 
July 17, 2008 at 9:40 AMAnonymous

any news updated?i go around the site everthing since like same.....not much different..have u all sign the loan d?i stil not yet sign..any recommance???

 
July 17, 2008 at 11:10 AMAnonymous

Dont sign yet, we dont know what will happen after the hearing n future.. juz wait n see. if still no confirmation i think better you take your money back.. i think that is a better way for you..

mayling

 
July 17, 2008 at 1:09 PMAnonymous

dont worry,loan application is very fast 1,for current condition either redraw or wait and do nothing until we realy see the starting of the ground work then only proceed for nxt step.

 
July 17, 2008 at 1:39 PMAnonymous

ya... of coz... not loaning from bank 1st... else u will lose the customer bargaining power. Don't worry,
When developer start the ground work then alot of bank will start calling u for loan from their bank!
And loan normally will approved very fast if u provide all full details that they request and meet their basic requirement.

 
July 17, 2008 at 1:59 PMAnonymous

ya dont worry, dont sign the bank loan...becoz u dont need it at all, this project will never start!!

 
July 17, 2008 at 2:56 PMAnonymous

i think Ah Long it self also have attitude problems,i found that he always drop by diff projects blog & leave -negative comment (with no point to support) eg : ask ppl dun buy this project,this & that is bad,this project wont start...

 
July 18, 2008 at 4:10 PMAnonymous

hi,
ah long,pls behave yourself..hehe..just now i pass by again the site..stil same..once i free i alway go and have a look..hehe..hope that the developer will start soon...

 
July 18, 2008 at 5:34 PMAnonymous

hi ester,

i think developer wont do anything until the court hearing by end of this month,is better that you went there after the hearing else there will be wasting your time.

 
July 19, 2008 at 12:15 AMAnonymous

July 19, 2008 at 10:33 AMAnonymous

This developer just gif blank promises.. lier just nothing will start on 22 july. they think can still hold you money n if the court not success they just take our money n disappear.. We got nothing....

 
July 20, 2008 at 10:49 PMAnonymous

The damage is already done. Just hope for the best.
