March 22, 2012 at 2:10 PMi: in the contract its written that the developer has buffer to take up to a year to do the renovation work. if they don't they will compensate the buyer with RM100.

Lets keep our fingers crossed they will keep their promises. i am sure most of you do not want the RM100.

ps : they probably give u back RM100 to buy a sledgehammer!
April 7, 2012 at 9:04 PMLi Fei: They build the swimming pool now.

May 1, 2012 at 4:03 PMAnonymous: yes Poh, it sounds good, but hope it wont create traffic congestion at the place
May 1, 2012 at 11:09 PMSifu: any news on the completion and VP date? Initial plan date was on June 2012 but now it's already May
May 10, 2012 at 2:58 PMUnknown: Anymore update photo to share?
May 17, 2012 at 9:48 AMFengel: I called Nusmetro office and personel told me OC will be ready in June/July. Then they will bill us for the remaining 20%. But after that, will still take 3 months for the renovation. I asked about the reimbursement for late completion, and the person said she didn't know.... asked me to check with lawyer.
May 17, 2012 at 9:50 PMHong: Fengel tks for sharing !
May 21, 2012 at 11:40 AMi: i doubt the OC will be ready in June or July. The building is not even completed! OC is usually upon FULLY completion of the building. OC usually take 6 months. And if they manage to expedite it, it will be at least 2 - 4 months. Tat alone is already in Aug or Sept. Look at the Pulse, its done its not even OC yet! Will check again with the person that sold the apartment. i think they are just pushing hopes to keep us happy.
June 7, 2012 at 10:46 PMVeniceSCS: Still can see the mesh on the building and not fully painted. Very doubtfull if it can be completed in a couple of months.
June 8, 2012 at 11:01 PMSifu: Can someone from Nusmetro provide a proper firm date on when the VP or OC can be obtained?

Every salesperson at Nusmetro have been telling buyers since last year that VP can be obtained in June 2012 but what's happening now?

If the completion date is not firm, then Nusmetro should not be giving false info to buyers. I think buyers deserved a more accurate info and now it's time for a proper explanation by Nusmetro
June 18, 2012 at 8:39 AMPoh-tography: i can see they start remove the green net and also put on the name at the car park wall which facing guard post.

June 22, 2012 at 6:44 PMSifu: After OC obtained in Sept 2012, there will be an extra 4 months internal renovation by Nusmetro to expand the area..meaning owners can only start their own renovation earliest by Dec 2012 or Jan 2013..

August 28, 2012 at 9:27 AMHasan.M.: How much psf is base on the area, but not base on the property type. If 600psf, I think better buy the BSG group new project Raffles Tower. Maybe you just want to "goreng" your property here. Wish your dream come true. :)
August 29, 2012 at 7:58 AMmelv: Hassan. Psf is based on location and not property type? So a low cost apartment should be priced the same as a luxury condominium if they happen to be built in the same area?
That's very interesting. I never knew that. You must be very smart.
Thanks for educating us.
August 29, 2012 at 9:59 AMLEE: Hi ! Melv , agreed with u on the feedback to Hasan .......
August 30, 2012 at 9:17 PMKen: Any unit left? What is the price per s/f currently??
September 2, 2012 at 9:56 AMUnknown: Just attending the OASIS Opening last night on 1/9/12. The lanscaping very beautiful, Some more have Lobby for every building, like 5 Star Hotel.
September 2, 2012 at 3:39 PMVeniceSCS: Yup, very impressive to the landscape design. Unfortunately is the master room apparently very small.
September 2, 2012 at 8:30 PM@crazy@: ya...agree..landscape is nice and lobby is luxury....just the master room only....but had anybody see the squa court?
September 2, 2012 at 8:40 PMUnknown: i wonder y lobby for Block c are......block a n b very nice..i c the squa court ..it just beside block c ground floor...
September 2, 2012 at 9:14 PMlim: Did u guys notice the timber floor different from the show unit at numestro office? Quite disappointed with the size of bedrooms but landscaping is very nice.
September 2, 2012 at 9:55 PMLi Fei: 2 issues to highlight :

(1) Did ur realise there is 2 diff. type of tile in the kitchen area after extended work. Developer will change the tile as same type like the hall during 4 mths renovation or the owner have to find & buy from outside market and replace it ?

(2) The quality of ceiling work no good. Owner have to spend money for the ceiling later.

I'm new to house purchase. Now that the VP is ready, when should I start servicing the loan?
September 9, 2012 at 6:58 PMPeter: Has anybody ask Numestro about the reimbursement for late completion?
I'm one of those early buyers. Anybody ask about that yet?

Thanks a lot
September 9, 2012 at 7:48 PMDT: I did. Just write in to claim for late delivery. they will calculate and send you a cheque.
September 11, 2012 at 2:27 PMAnonymous: hi DT,
regarding the late delivery, to which date it should be counted for the compensation?tq
September 11, 2012 at 4:14 PMDT: CK, It is to the VP date. I believe it is Aug 23.
September 11, 2012 at 10:22 PMBrandon: how much is the property now, heard from developer sold at $620k?
September 12, 2012 at 10:53 AMAnonymous: facing bridge is more expensive than facing pool?
September 12, 2012 at 12:11 PMalvin: By the look at the Lobby of each block and the facilities, in deed is fascinating, BUT start to worry about the maintenance and housekeeping in all the public area by the management, it really required professional and manning to maintain it. As I would think that in short term there will be an increase in maintenance fees.....Maybe you all can share your point of view...
September 12, 2012 at 3:57 PMUnknown: Hi for the early bird

I have ask the developer about the compensation for late delivery last day,
The clerk told me is the date where your SPA agreement is stamp until 22-Aug-2012.

I take my SPA and the info to my lawyer friend and he have advise me as below.

The calculation as below:-

Say your SPA get stamp at 7-3-2008.
The VP date is 22-8-2012.

Base on SPA, developer should handle your unti to you at 6-3-2011.

So, you are able to claim the late deliver penalty from 7-3-2011 until 22-8-2012.

Delay ->7-3-2011 - 22-8-2012

Number of days = 366 (7-3-2011 -> 6-3-2012) + 31 (7-3-2012 ->6-4-2012) + 30 (6-4-2012 ->6-5-2012) +
31 (7-6-2012 -6-6-2012) + 30 (7-6-2012 -> 6-7-2012) + 31(7-7-2012 -> 6-8-2012) +
16 (7-8-2012 -> 22-8-2012)

= 535 days

Base on SPA document, our SPA agreement belongs to Schedule H(Condominium, apartment of flats )

Let say your purchase price on said parcel stated in SPA on page 20 is 240,000

On SPA document, point 24, damages for late delivery are based on 10% per annul of the purchase price,
from the day immediately after the completion date to the actual date of the delivery of vacant possession

Vacant possession claim due to late delivery = (535 / 365) * 0.1 * 240,000
= RM35178.08

In a Schedule H agreement, an additional claim for liquidated damages can be made
for non-completion of the common facilities.

In SPA documents, it should be point26 (2), 10% per annum of the last twenty per centum(20%) of the purchase price.

Common facilities claim = (535 / 365) * 0.1 * (240,000 * 0.2)
= RM7035.62

Total of claim for late delivery = RM35178.08+ RM7035.62
= RM42213.70
September 12, 2012 at 4:02 PMUnknown: You can refer to
http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/conveyancing_practice/law_realty_purchasing_a_new_property.html

Damages for late delivery

In a Schedule G agreement, damages for late delivery are based on 10% per annum of the purchase price, from the day immediately after the completion date to the actual date of the delivery of vacant possession. In a Schedule H agreement, an additional claim for liquidated damages can be made for non-completion of the common facilities.

September 12, 2012 at 4:37 PMAnonymous: Hi Eddison,

how we submit the claim? we just write in to the developer?

HAve you submitted yours? I just want to see if the developer will follow sch G and H to make the late penalty.

pls let me know. Appreciated.
September 12, 2012 at 4:51 PMUnknown: Hi CK

You can write in a simple letter, stated when is your SPA stamp date, your address, IC no, and the block you purchase. Attach your photocopy on page 20 SPA documents that stated the above info.

Send your letter to the clerk in nusmetro PG office and they will submit to KL main office.

Not possible schedule G lah, that is for landed properties, if we follow schedule G, we will get big compensation as schedule G is count for 24months for project to deliver.

By the way how much your purchase price, you can use below formula.
September 12, 2012 at 5:18 PMAnonymous: Hi Eddison,

thanks for your input. very helpful indeed. btw, have you submitted your letter ? I just want to see if the claim from the developer will be as what you statement, especially the liquidated damage in Sch H. pls let me know. tq
September 13, 2012 at 1:22 PMDT: I was informed by Mr Lee that we can only claim for the late delivery and not the liquidated damages under schedule H which is for the common facility. The facilities are all done so there is no claim. Maybe someone can counter check with him again.
September 13, 2012 at 2:10 PMUnknown: See your SPA documents first page, it is stated as Schedule H.

Common facilities cover common property, to get common facilities approve, it should be later or same date 22 AUG 2012. According to lawyer, the developer send the last bill to bank for the charge of electric and water supply to building, this mean the deliver of common facilities should not earlier than 22 AUG 2012.
September 13, 2012 at 2:54 PMUnknown: Hi DT
What Mr Lee inform you is not correct, my lawyer for other project (that I have ask her to advise me) told me this is not the case. Mr Lee is try to protect the interest of developer.

As stated black and white in SPA document point 26 (Completion of common facilities), the common facilities is part of the agreement, the common facilities which cover common property is not possible done before electric and water supply is connected to building which is the last billing from nusmetro to your bank. I'm curious the word from Mr Lee as say by you, in 1.5 years before, 6-3-2011, the common facilities is done?

As per lawyer advise, you can make aduan to KPKT and Tribunal Tuntutan Pembeli Rumah if developer refuse to make payment for late delivery of common facilities. She is quite sure we will get the compensation for both since everything stay clearly black and white in SPA document.
September 13, 2012 at 7:08 PMDT: Thanks Edison. You are right. I will call him tomorrow and seek his clarification.

Anyone else have this same thought and comment?
September 13, 2012 at 7:35 PMAnonymous: Thanks Eddison for your input.

DT, pls let us know yr discussion with numestro, I will go to them as well next week for this matter after I back to Pg.
September 14, 2012 at 10:56 AMDT: CK, I was asked to write in again for the liquidated damages. They claim the facilities were build on time. I did ask that although the facilites were ready but there were no power or water supply thus it cannot be used. To us it is still not ready under clause 26 in our S&P. The power & water were only ready during the VP. Mr Lee requested us to write in so he can bring it up to Nusmetro Mgmt.
Perhaps when u see them next week, pls push this forward. I will write to them today.
September 14, 2012 at 3:27 PMAnonymous: Hi DT,
thanks for your feedback. In fact, how to verify if there is water or electricity supply since we have no permission to enter ? anyway, is the liquidated damage will be calculated until 22 Aug as well?

Hi Eddison,
where is the Sch H in page 1 of SPA, I couldnt find it.
September 18, 2012 at 8:34 PMPeter: Thanks DT for the information. I called them up and receive the same information as you do.
September 21, 2012 at 1:57 PMUnknown: OC Obtained...
September 22, 2012 at 11:52 AMUnknown: oc obtain but key is not yet pass to us...zzzz..
September 25, 2012 at 11:00 PMM: alvin,

About the increasing of maintenance fees.

Let us do some calculation.

OASIS is high density condo.

Block A & B total having 80 units each.
Block C total having 376 units.

Total Unit (Block A+B+C) = 536 units.

Total Maintenance Fee Per Month = 536units x RM200.00 = RM107,200.00/mth

Total Sinking Funds = 536units x RM20.00 = RM10,720.00/mth

I think should be enough.
September 26, 2012 at 2:50 PMUnknown: I think should be enough la.. the maintenance fees...
Need to setup committee so look after the money lo...
else dunno where the money will goes....
September 30, 2012 at 10:47 PMLi Fei: LAST CALL......

For those who interested/planning to buy OASIS condo unit, Quick...

Still left a few units below 500k publish in mudah.my

Quickly, the price going to increase to another level.

I think lately a lot of OASIS owner received phone call from a lot of agent and asking whether u want to sell ur unit ?

Based on my survey, currently, OASIS is high Demand > Supply.

You also can make a comparision with other new project just lounged in Penang Island.
Most of the project is selling above RM480.00 psf now.
Some Studio Unit <500sf is selling RM550.00 psf.

In the future, very hard to find a new project built more than 1000sf in Penang Island.
We are follow HK and SG, start built more Studio Unit concept, less than 500sf.

U just walk around any coming Property Fair, u will understand more what I'm saying.

Some more building material price keep on increasing lately.
I believe in 2013, the housing price in Penang Island will reach another new high.
October 1, 2012 at 5:35 PMM: Li Fei,

I agree with ur survey.

I believe the price will have more than 600k soon after distribution of key.

This is the BEST Location.
Near to Pg Bridge, Tesco Jelutong, Tesco Extra Sg Dua, Lipsin Morning Market, Jelutong Morning Market, Batu Lancang Afetrnoon Market, Penang Airport, Bayan Lepas FTZ.

No traffic jam and Gelugor this area become the best resident area now in Penang Island.

Agree ?
October 1, 2012 at 5:43 PMUnknown: Agree,

From Gelugor to anywhere in Pg Island is consider near.

Because Gelugor located in the Center of the East Area in Penang Island.

I also received a lot of calls from the agents recently.
Offer to buy RM570k wuth ready buyer
October 4, 2012 at 11:56 AMDT: Have anyone received their late delivery claim? I submitted my claim 1 month ago and have not heard from them.
October 10, 2012 at 11:23 AMUnknown: still no news on the delay compensation? They just keep on ask us to wait but don't know until when... Anyone call them for update also?
October 11, 2012 at 3:02 PMTropical Fruit Juice: Dear

The Oasis Landlord/Owner,

Now a day this condo price already rised up to $620K for 2unit cars park with 1111sqf / 1113sqf seem like very good beginning growing up...
October 11, 2012 at 4:23 PMPositionT: Wondering if this is something new... A signboard set up right opposite Oasis (the bare land) stating to build a double storey community hall (not the ready koperasi building), mean to be community library & badminton hall and multipurpose hall. It is an usahasame btw penang state goverment and private company.
October 12, 2012 at 3:39 AMUnknown: Hi position T,
This is not something new, your info is known since beginning of the year. ECM libra is giving 4million to build Badminton center, Library, and language learning center, PG government DAP sponsor the land for the mention facilities. This is good news for OASIS and PULSE owner. With those facilities around, that is one of the reason price for OASIS is increase. see this http://mykampung.sinchew.com.my/node/209333

檳城）檳州第一所學習中心及羽毛球學院正式動土，預計18個月後完工！

檳州首席部長林冠英昨日（9月27日）為豆蔻村檳州學習中心及檳州羽球學院推介時說，耗資400萬興建的檳州學習中心及檳州羽球學院將費時18個月完成，占地2.9英畝。

“這項計划包括一個圖書館、7個補習及語文課室、6至8個羽毛球場及一座食堂。除了馬來語、英語、華語及淡米爾教學，我們也會注重在其它外國語。＂

他說，做為將檳州打造成為一個適合居住、學習、工作、玩樂及療養的地方，檳州學習中心及檳州羽球學院會通過強身健体栽培心靈。那些把孩子送到學習中心的家長可以在等待孩子的同時打羽球。如此一來，家長可以帶著健康的身體回家，孩子則可以帶著知識回家。

林冠英：ECM Libra基金全額資助
三管齊下吸引私立高教機構M

林冠英指出，檳州政府接受教育由聯邦政府管轄。他們的努力是為了确保檳州擁有最好的教育設施或精明學校，不論是頂尖的國際學校或頂尖的私立大學，檳州政府已經在吸引私立高等教育機構方面採用三管齊下的方法：

“第一，一個成功的例子是美國史密斯學院興辦的國際女性大學入駐檳州。這所大學是本區域首屈一指的女性大學，以栽培亞洲、非洲的女性成為未來的領袖。

第二，我們成立檳州科學理事會，以讓檳州轉型成為科學工藝中心。檳州政府將出資种子基金給科學理事會及科學中心，但是由私人界主導。

第三，最後就是為學習能力較弱的孩子提供補救方法。這是最具挑戰性的，因為我們將尋找自願老師來協助學校所不及之處。我有信心，檳城人會有辦法，找出一個方法補助學校的不足。＂

林明春：建學習中心和羽球館送檳人

ECM Libra基金代表拿督林明春在受邀致詞時也說，該基金會全額資助400萬，希望把這座學習中心和羽球館送給檳城人。

出席者尚包括檳第二副首長拉瑪沙米、行政議員曹觀友、州議員鄭雨週、黃偉益、拉文、雷爾。

林冠英：招收數理較弱學生
業界人士可指導學生課業

林冠英前晚（26日）在貴都酒店與工業區代表對話時，也建議業界人士義務到檳州學習中心指導學生，當成履行企業社會責任的一部份。

他說，有關學習中心將招收數理掌握能力較弱的學生，而業界人士正好可以利用本身的長處，指導學生解決課業的問題。

“業界人士平日把數理知識運用在工作上，相信必有心得。由他們來擔任老師，務必能夠很生活化的指導學生，讓他們掌握好數理科目。＂

October 14, 2012 at 1:13 PMUnknown: Another reason for "OASIS GELUGOR" price increase :

From The SUN Daily -
GEORGE TOWN (Oct 11, 2012):
The local authorities are considering building a 12.5km coastal bicycle lane around the Bayan Baru and "GELUGOR" area leading into Georgetown.

The dedicated bicycle route, which will begin at Queensbay Mall in Bayan Baru and end in Georgetown, will allow cyclists to enjoy the sea breeze and scenery while pursuing recreational or training activities along the route.

MPPP Building Department director Yew Tung Seang said the council will cooperate with five developers – IJM Land Sdn Bhd, Tropicana Ivory Sdn Bhd, GSD Land (M) Sdn Bhd, CP Landmark Sdn Bhd, and Asia Green Group – to build parts of the coastal lane.

"I have been asked at many cycling events when a dedicated bicycle lane for cyclists will be built in Penang. We have earmarked this project for them," he said at a press conference today.

The lane will be built on state-owned land and Penang Development Corporation (PDC) land along the sea coast, he added.

Yew said the project will also include features like green parks, toilets and bridges, and will boost Penang as a cycling state.

Also present were Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP) president Datuk Patahiyah Ismail.

Patahiyah said RM30 million project will take up about RM5.3 million from the council's funds, while the rest will be funded by the developers as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme.

Lim lauded the council on the effort and encouraged the public to provide feedback on the project.

He said the public had until Nov 15 to give their views.

He also said the proposed plans could be viewed on the MPPP's website at www.mppp.gov.my and an exhibition will be set up soon to display the plans.

"We hope to carry out the project by next year," he said, adding that the project will see completion within two years.
October 15, 2012 at 8:27 PMRedswenzz: I've already started my first payment with Hong Leong bank. But still haven't got the key :'(
October 16, 2012 at 2:12 AMLi Fei: Key Distribution and Maintenance Fee Collection will be held on 1st Dec 2012.
October 17, 2012 at 9:59 PMAlise: Is this info from a reliable source? Called Nusmetro but they do not want to confirm date of key collection; only mentioned roughly Dec 2012/Jan 2013. Need to move in asap as I am renting a place now and need to give notice.
October 19, 2012 at 6:52 AMOasisResident: Did some 1 know how nusmetro control the outsider especially to use the facilities in Oasis???? We have to pay high maintenance fees RM220 every month, if some 1 simply enter OASIS and use the facilities for example Swimming pool, worth we pay for it???? My previous BOSS who live in Gurney SXXXXXtone, I heard from him that the security and control is good, u have to always show resident card when u pass by the guard house. Even u r resident, if u forget to take ur resident card, u have to put IC in guard house and then take ur resident card to prove u r the resident in that condo. If you fail to do so or u fail to show that u r the visitor for the resident there, ur IC will be recorded and next time u will be blocked to enter the area.
October 19, 2012 at 11:05 AMsokohaw: RM220 maintenance fee is considered standard lah, where got high? How to compare with Silvertone? People paying 4, 5x higher maint fee.....don't forget it's supercondo some more le.
October 20, 2012 at 1:28 AMCK: Haha... Bloody good point.... :)
October 22, 2012 at 6:05 AMUnknown: Hi all,
I saw in some apartment post, some of the residences have create a close group discussion on their apartment in Facebook, we should do the same. That is very useful to gather a useful info so that we will not get behind if third party i.e. developer give a separate info from one to the others.
We should do the same on gathering the info and discuss the status of Oasis i.e. when we get the key, report on defect lists, renovation, latest progress of Oasis and etc. I believe some one may have more experience in some field compare to the others, so for someone are new in some field can get the share info from experience one and vice versa.

I have create the close group discussion in FB.Please join close group discussion in

October 22, 2012 at 2:38 PMInternetpayee: Eddison,

some one already created the link at facebook.

October 22, 2012 at 3:06 PMUnknown: Internet payee,
Thanks....I'm not aware.. anyway the link you give is common page that everybody can see, I'm thinking some of our discussion topic can be more privacy. That is the reason I create close group discussion in FB. Probably for some discussion that we don't want third party to look on, we can use that link. Anyway thanks for that.
October 31, 2012 at 3:16 PMskipper85: anyone have update on the delay compensation? Seems no news ;(
November 4, 2012 at 4:55 PMkarisma28: what actually happened to the late delivery claims??? y took so long to release ??? whats the problem ?????????
November 6, 2012 at 11:44 PMM: Refer to mudah.my, very hard to find a unit below 500k now. Market Price now is about 530k~630k
November 7, 2012 at 2:33 PMPeter: Have anyone received the compensation yet?

I submit my compensation letter 1 month+ ago, still no words from them.
November 8, 2012 at 8:00 AMinfinitium: @Max: anyone can offer units at >$500k... the real question is, what is the actual transacted price?

I bet very few units are sold >$500k... it's too high a price given the fair valuation for that area & leasehold esp in the current buyer's market w/many choices.

If sellers are not willing to nego down, transacted rates will be very low... nobody wins.
November 8, 2012 at 2:48 PMInternetpayee: according to my agent, valuer said oasis condo is currently rm478 per square feet.
November 8, 2012 at 9:10 PMVeniceSCS: When the OC go be obtained? Any confirm date?
November 10, 2012 at 8:25 AMSifu: The reason Oasis price is above 500k now and will keep on increasing is because of the environment, strategic locality and one of its kind landscape which stands out from other existing condos now. Those who have seen the condo would know but those who does have not, will not understand why the price is going up. Wait for the OC coming soon in Dec and when more ppl have a chance to see it, everyone will understand
November 16, 2012 at 11:49 AMUnknown: for the delay compensation can try call the KL main office.
http://www.nusmetro.com/contact.php
November 22, 2012 at 12:02 PMUnknown: Anybody knows when we can get our OC?
Looks like a few families had just moved into Pulse recently. When will be our turn..hmmmmm!
November 29, 2012 at 1:33 PM@crazy@: did any one receive letter for Key Distribution? izzit true that 1 Dec we can get the key?
November 30, 2012 at 2:57 PMUnknown: I just call up Nusmetro and key will distribute in mid month of January 2013.
November 30, 2012 at 9:03 PMVeniceSCS: To obtain the key is like awaiting for election. The date keep on postponing.
December 1, 2012 at 11:14 AM@crazy@: Today i also call up Nusmetro, Key will distribute in mid of january of 2013 due to renovation just compelete 70%.Haiz....
December 1, 2012 at 1:20 PMSifu: The initial date to collect keys committed by developer is by end Dec 2012, exactly after 4 months renovation period started in 1Sept 2012. Now postponed to mid Jan 2013. I think just hear and don believe 100%. Maybe after CNY also cannot get keys because nobody making noise and complaint to developer
December 1, 2012 at 5:20 PMAlise: We have started to pay the bank loan installment since Oct and don't know how long we have to wait. I understand tt they are only installing the room floor parquet now ???
December 1, 2012 at 8:34 PMChloe: Anyone has received any delay compensation? pls share it. Tks
December 4, 2012 at 4:44 PMUnknown: Buyers of block C becareful, only number 1,2,3,3A facing the sea. 5,6,7,8 facing the swimming pool. But I find every unit design very wierd. More like the Pulse design where they have an area built outside of the house, exposed to the corridor.
December 4, 2012 at 5:16 PMUnknown: Ok. I'll be careful. Although I am 100% sure you are wrong. Never hurts to be careful though. And yea, the layout is weird... kind of like you in a way. Lots of weird ppl in the world nowadays. Better be careful.
December 4, 2012 at 6:41 PMUnknown: Yea, never hurt to make buyers more careful. Cost\waste more than RM500k for a unit with bizarre extended built area outside the build-up house! The design do not take the residential privacy into consideration.
J mis, your retorts were short and without any arguments. First thing come to our mind, you maybe one of the thoughtless sales/agents.
December 4, 2012 at 6:57 PMUnknown: Yes! You are right. Anybody looking to buy Oasis outstanding units, please look for me. =)
You are very observant my friend. My retorts were short and intentionally so as there really isn't much to say to someone who is misinformed and yet has the galls to be saintly pretentious and act as if you are here to save our souls. A simple visit to either the Nusmetro office to look at the building plan or even just visiting the actual building itself is more than sufficient to expose you for the fraud that you are. As for the "weird layout",...dude read la some of the previous post....explain so much d still wanna bring the same topic up. You sound like a broken record. Samething bring up so many times....read properly la adui.

PS: Long enough for your liking? =)
PPS: Be careful,...be very careful
December 5, 2012 at 1:54 PMUnknown: No, I don't like it mis desperado. Your winding retorts have reaffirm this scam-like least offer. We will be careful and won't be deceived by the glittering display of your elaboration.

PS : We will be extra careful.
December 5, 2012 at 4:48 PMUnknown: Ooo...That was short. Lost for words? Cat got your tongue? By the way, whats this "we" business? How many of you are there? Is Eric one person and Vanstraten another? Are there two of you sharing one account or is it more like Gollum in Lord of The Rings where you have like 2 personalities and is abit crazy? "We likes our preciousssssss!"..."We will not be cheateddddd"..." We's wills be carefulssss"

Btw, I noticed a lack of facts or arguments in your previous post. Whats happening man?!
=)
December 24, 2012 at 11:08 AMUnknown: Just call up Nusmetro,they start to distribute the letter to collect your house key.
December 24, 2012 at 11:11 AMUnknown: If want to settle your TNB & PBA,u need to have 2 copy of S&P ,IC and witness IC too.
December 24, 2012 at 1:33 PMHong: Tks Poganeswaran for the info !!!
December 24, 2012 at 5:42 PMAlise: I just called up Nusmetro and were told that they have sent out letters to collect keys this morning! Hope we will get the letter after Christmas.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
everybody !!!
December 25, 2012 at 1:19 PMSifu: After get letter only can collect keys? Why not walk straight to office and collect anytime after Christmas? What if letter delayed arrived or lost intransit?
December 25, 2012 at 1:50 PMUnknown: anyone received the letter?
December 26, 2012 at 6:49 PMAlise: Exactly...the last time I recd my invitation to the open house after the date. Lucky I refer to this blog. Until this evening, I did not receive the letter !
December 26, 2012 at 9:55 PMKeene & Kenn: I ady get the key and I ady bring my family to the new house. My lover and I so happy... :p
December 26, 2012 at 11:40 PMUnknown: How much did you need to paid during collect the key?i means including maintanance fees,sinking fund ,car park access card and etc...
December 26, 2012 at 11:58 PMKeene & Kenn: We pay ard RM1200...
December 27, 2012 at 11:18 AMChloe: anyone receive the letter yet?

also, anyone has any news on the late payment claim? pls share out. tks
December 27, 2012 at 11:24 AMAlise: Just got my letter this morning; need to pay RM1118. Maintenance fees charged from Dec 2012 to April 2013. Why Dec 2012 when we just got our letter ???
December 27, 2012 at 11:35 AMAlise: Just recd my letter; need to pay abt RM1118. Why do we charged the maintenance fee for Dec 2012 when we just got the keys ???
December 27, 2012 at 12:09 PMalvin: Same question from me, why from December.....will be going to make payment today, will ask them..

By the way, have anyone found defect to your unit, how do we go about?
December 27, 2012 at 6:03 PMUnknown: I have make some photos in http://www.facebook.com/groups/354938724600194/

Key can be collected, just straight go to office. Early bird not necessary to paid RM1118, Nusmetro will deduct from Late Delivery Payment.

Visit Oasis, the environment is nice, I can feel quite windy in my unit.
December 27, 2012 at 8:04 PMKeene & Kenn: Pls read the handbook, we need to pay some extra charge for some facility. @,@
December 27, 2012 at 8:07 PMAlise: Went to my unit after getting the key this afternoon. All the facilities are OUT except the lift, so why charge us for Dec's maintenance ??? Can't even open the snooker room with the facilities card. The floor tiles are lack of quality control (some part are uneven). True enough, there is a inhouse renovation contractor..
December 27, 2012 at 10:08 PMy2ssk: Alise,the snooker room need to use special card, coz if u want to use it u need to do reservation 1st
December 28, 2012 at 9:46 AMSifu: According to developer, we must pay charges for snooker room usage per hour and squash court also. I think this is ridiculous because all these charges should have been included in the monthly maintenance fees already and we should have the rights to use ALL the facilities for free. We should all object to this regulations!
December 28, 2012 at 2:19 PMKeene & Kenn: Yes, I agreed. Why should we pay for the facility since we ady pay RM220 every month... @,@
December 28, 2012 at 11:27 PMKevin: dear gunners,

not all facilities are FOC. If you take a look at other apartments, the residents have to pay also.

for example, N park badminton courts, i dont' think the residents there get to play for FREE. :)

cheers!
December 30, 2012 at 9:47 PMPeter: Went to look at my unit today. Some comment after looking at it:

-Master bedroom looks smaller than what it is shown in show unit.
-Bedroom wood tiles are different from what is shown in show unit. The brown color is lighter in show unit.
-Tiles connecting the kitchen and dining hall is very uneven. Maybe it is just my unit that have the uneven.
-Bedrooms and toilet doors need to be change to something better from my POV. (I will change)
-The jacuzzi and sauna are good and the snooker/pool room is nice.
-lobby looks nice.
-I notice a lot of sofas and sitting area around 1st floor and 14th floor.

Just my observation. But all and all, it is okay.
December 30, 2012 at 11:43 PMAlise: Same with mine, tiles near this area are uneven. One of the tile at my entrance has a quite a big chip, do u think the contractor will change. Anyone of you went to enquire abt renovations work with SRE contractor on the 2nd floor? Can we fix our own lightings, kitchen cabinet, wardrobe, iron grilles,etc?

December 31, 2012 at 11:36 AMLEE: Hi ! Alise ,
Understand from Nusmetro salesperson regards to the renovation issues we need to refer Ms Goh for approval before we can proceed with the renovation .
December 31, 2012 at 11:37 AMLEE: Hi ! Alise ,
Understand from Nusmetro salesperson regards to the renovation issues we need to refer Ms Goh for approval before we can proceed with the renovation .
December 31, 2012 at 11:43 AMLEE: Like where to install d air-cond. compressor etc.
December 31, 2012 at 2:21 PMSue: Understood from Ms. Goh, we need to buy cements, sand, bricks and etc from the appointed vendor. She will have meetings with them today to request for the price list and also understand how much we need to pay if we don't buy anything from them (since I don't need any of the things that they sell).

I brought 2 contractors in last 2 days and the security guard told me outside contractors are not allowed which is not same with what Ms. Goh told me. I have requested her to liase with the security to make sure we can bring our own contractor into Oasis for viewing.

If the "appointed contractor" would like to charge a high price for nothing, one of my contractors recommendation is... gather 4 residents and file a police report to get rid of the "appointed contractor".

I will wait for Ms. Goh confirmation in Wed to decide what to do next.
December 31, 2012 at 2:30 PMChloe: hi Sue,

this is the first time I heard about buying things from the appointed vendor.when I was collecting the keys, the salesperson just told me we are free to hire our own contractor, just need to submit the drawing to them.
December 31, 2012 at 3:29 PMSue: That's what they told me when I collected my keys. I was a bit pissed off when the guard don't allow my contractors go in.

I'm suprise that Nusmetro didn't settle the 'agreement' with the 'appointed contractor' before letting us collect the keys.

Anyway, I'll get the quotation from the 'appointed contractor' before assuming they are expensive for now. Hopefully it is reasonable...
December 31, 2012 at 5:34 PMLady Birdie: Is it also true that all grills and plaster ceilings must be done by the appointed contractor?
January 1, 2013 at 12:11 AMSifu: Hi Sue, thanks for sharing your experience with us and once u have more info, please share the outcome from Ms. Goh's discussion with the contractor n how much should we pay the in house contractor if we don buy anything from them. Or if we do buy cements n sands only, how much they r charging?

If they r charging damn expensive, I believed u can gather 40 residents to lodge police report with u, not only 4 :)
Happy New Year!
January 1, 2013 at 10:33 AMUnknown: Yesterday went to see my unit,finding:
balcony glass little bit break,small room sliding door lock screw loose,master room toilet sliding door break a hole. one more thing do you guy realise that the shower tap is not install?when i see the show room during i make the booking, the sales person say will install as per what they show in show room.
January 1, 2013 at 10:46 AMSue: I have revisited Ms. Goh again after her meeting with the "appointed contractor" and confirmed that they can't do anything but to suggest we consult the "appointed contractor" for renovation matter. Basically Nusmetro not going to do anything on behalf of us unless the situation really get worse.

I visited the "appointed contractor" show unit in block A. My personal thought is....
a) The price of the work generally reasonable and transparent. They have a price list to refer to for every item that you interested and it is same for everyone. There was a 5% discount for first 56 units that signed up. I only pay attention to a few items e.g. plaster ceiling, grill and etc. The plaster ceiling & grill price is same or even lower than my own contractor and the workmanship looks alright. Suprisingly, I have also paid some deposit for the plaster ceiling and grill already. :-p

b) If you have concern about anything, e.g. you have purchased any item prior, your family business is overlapping with their biz e.g. doing plaster ceiling, can always negotiate with their boss Mr. Faan. He is negotiable and approachable too. I don't feel bad dealing with them although I know I should have more choices. Not a bad experience so far... the quotation is even clearer & faster than my current contractor.
January 1, 2013 at 11:44 AMChin: Hi Sue,

You means you placed some deposit? I thought SRE will submit the quotation list where we pick, then just place deposit?

I visisted the contractor at block A, the price list very itemised, so I can pick the item that I wish and sum up the price. I not yet compare to outside contractor yet, is it almost same price?

My unit is type B where I found the master room having the two "pillar", one at left, one at right, in almost center of room where make the master room very hard to design. :(

The toilet bowl location are not as per design that we see in the layout plan (refer layout in this blog), the shower location too near with toilet bowl and it so narrow, it hard to take shower. I try relayout toilet bowl nearer to basin, make the shower area can be wider, anyway I don't sure is it the piping of toilet can be adjust or not, it seems a big change.

Living room, Dining room, medium and small room are spacious, nice lobby, swimming pool. Basically I like this condo just headache on how to layout my master room and toilet. :)
January 1, 2013 at 5:07 PMSue: Hi Chin,

Ya, I paid 1k booking fee to lock the 5% discount.

My unit is block C. Master bedroom is very small too but my problem is a beam and a pillar. :-( The beam make my ceiling very low after making plaster ceiling and the pillar takes up half a feet of the room size d. ai...

I didn't pay attention to toilet but overall looks alright for me. I'm fine with the entire unit except the size of the room. I re-measure the room and it is exactly same like layout plan but many ppls do feel that the show unit master bedroom is larger. Nusmetro has demolished the sales gallery so I can't go back to prove that...
January 1, 2013 at 5:08 PMSue: Something to share... curtain is something that you can probably save a lot because I found that IKEA sells affordable roller blind that fits our 2nd & 3rd bedroom window. I will just buy that instead of custom make them..... which is awfully pricey.
January 1, 2013 at 8:45 PMChin: Hi Sue,

So fast can place 1k for deposit already? I thought only to place deposit next week?

Is the living room (balcony) and master room custain also can buy from IKEA? Thanks
January 1, 2013 at 9:28 PMSue: I'm still searching for 7ft ready made roller blind because our master bedroom window quite big. The IKEA n home harmony one don't have 7ft width roller blind. As for sliding door curtain, our sliding door seems a little bit longer than IKEA curtain measurement.. Tell me if u find one :-)
January 2, 2013 at 10:27 AMmeatbag: I went over to the showroom in oasis. I felt that the price is way above the market.

I'm also dissapointed that there are so called " appointed" contractor that had been assigned to do the renovation works. It seems not right at all.

We, the owners have the rights to choose who we wanted to engage for the renovation jobs.

Has anyone approached nusmetro on this?

sigh, this teach me well to be more cautious on such projects, especially from nusmetro in the future.
January 2, 2013 at 11:41 AMAlise: Although my scope of work is only basic; like fixing iron grilles, lights, fans, a/cons, w/heaters, kitchen cabinet and wardrobe but I was told that these are still under "renovation works" !!!
January 2, 2013 at 2:16 PMSue: I have relative that do grill and he told me that power coated grill for 2.4 m width door quoted for RM 1k is fair price. He might reduce a little bit for me but won't be too much as well.

Aircond piping price is way above market rate I agree so I negotiated with the boss if I do plaster ceiling and grill, I will get my relative handle the electrical works. They are fine with my suggestion as long as my electrician doesn't handle the wall hacking part. They will charge me for wall hacking separately but my electrician can do other installation that doesn't involve hacking like installing air cond, water heater and etc.

I suggest you talk to their boss because their workers can't be negotiated at all.
January 2, 2013 at 2:20 PMChloe: when I collect the key, the sales person told me we are free to choose our own contractor for the reno work, if u use our own, just need a 3k deposit to nusmetro. I dont understand why the appointed contractor still charge us for hacking wall???
January 2, 2013 at 5:25 PMAn: Hi, I from block B, went to appointed contractor, got the quotation of iron grill, normal iron door grill rm 780, master room window grill Rm 850, room 2 window grill rm 350, room 3 window grill rm490, kitchen window grill rm 490, wash area grill + bird case rm 1500, awing rm 490, balcony rail rm 700, total rm 5650-5%= 5367.50, air con piping without installation without point rm 490 @, pls advise me is it reasonable price?
January 2, 2013 at 10:54 PMLEE: Hi ! An , thanks for sharing . May I know did the appointed contractor advise on the standard design for the iron grill door , window etc. ?
January 2, 2013 at 11:40 PMAn: Heard the appointed contractor said all the Oasis owners
not allow to do door grill, window grill and wiring by themselves, MUST let them do..
January 3, 2013 at 12:02 AMAn: Found the appointed contractor good price on lighting points rm 55@ and 13am power point rm70 with 5% disc, BUT high price on tiles and cabinet , etc...
January 3, 2013 at 11:35 AMSifu: Then this is not right and forcing owners to comply with their wishes. Nusmetro Ms. Goh told me that we can just buy raw materials (cemements, sands) from the contractor and the rest we can appoint our own contractor for wiring and iron grills. What if we can get much lower price for iron grills and electric wiring from outside? For those refuse to comply, should we meet together at Nusmetro office to talk?
January 3, 2013 at 2:26 PMJOYCE LSC: My understanding from my contractor is police needs at least 4 residents to lodge police report to take action.
January 3, 2013 at 2:27 PMJOYCE LSC: Those who defy them will have problems completing their jobs. And its a disgrace that Nusmetro allow this to happen in their first prestigious condo.
January 4, 2013 at 1:21 AMAlise: Sue,

Did u check the cost of the lights and wiring for the plaster ceiling? U mean we can just get the 'appointed contractor' to do the plaster ceiling and we can fix our own lights?

I wish I could get my own contractor but I am in a hurry to move in. In fact, my own brother/ nephew is also in this line, sad...
January 4, 2013 at 10:18 AMSue: Hi Alise,

I suggest you talk to their boss Mr. Faan.

Most likely he is alright as long as you let them do something e.g. Grill or Plaster Ceiling.

In my case, he allows me to use my own electrician as long as we engage them for anything that needs to hack the wall. There will be charges for wall hacking for sure.

However, I might be considering letting them to handle the electrical works too because their price for electrical work is reasonable except for Aircond Piping.

I would buy my own bulb, fan, water heater and etc and let them do the installation.

If your own relative is doing electrical business, I think he would let your own electrician handle that as long as you let them do some business.

According to Ms. Goh, you better inform them before assuming they are ok to avoid any unexpected incident. :-p So... talk to them first la~
January 4, 2013 at 10:55 AMAn: Sue,

As per appointed contractor told me, we are not allow to haw the wall for electric work, of course we can buy our own lighting, fan to install by ourself provided they finish the wiring job.
January 4, 2013 at 10:59 AMAn: Due to that, air cond piping rm490, air cond point rm 180 ( for room 2 and 3) and installation fee rm 120 with total rm 790 @ is chargeable by them.
January 4, 2013 at 11:07 AMAn: I had called ms Goh, said I only agreed to buy cement, sand and also the rubbish charges (with max rm 1k), deposit of rm 3000 (refundable) as per their early letter mention, coz I prefer to use my own contractor but still awaiting for her reply.
January 4, 2013 at 11:17 AMAn: I requested nusmetro come out the spec and pattern of grill for us to follow, so i can use my own contractor.... I am rushing to move in, but now pending, got keys but can't do anything...
January 4, 2013 at 11:21 AMSue: Ya, that's right. They just want to make sure they handle the wiring work and Air-cond piping is really expensive. SenQ air-cond piping for 10 ft inverter pipe is RM 260.

I would try to get my relative to do Air-Cond piping and letting them handle the rest since their price is reasonable and I'm not too worry about the quality of work for wiring stuff too.
January 4, 2013 at 2:27 PMAlise: Sue & An,

I have submitted my 'renovation' proposal on Monday to Ms Goh and she said she would come back to me on the items that I can use my own contractor but until today no response. I have no choice but to let the 'appointed contractor' to do my grilles, plaster ceiling, floor skirting,but I bought my own lights, fans, w/heaters. However, I bought my aircons (Panasonic) fm them as I think the price is quite reasonable. I am in a hurry to move in too as I have been renting since I moved back fm KL.

Sue, are u getting yr own lights for the plaster ceilings; or did u check the costs - it's around 3K !

My unit is at Blk C facing the sea.
January 4, 2013 at 4:24 PMUnknown: i just got my key today.

Ms Goh said we can use our appointed vendor and purchase our raw materials.

But we have to pay deposit to management for RM3,000. (estimated to be charged RM300-RM500 for rubbish collection $$ from the deposit). THen balance will be refunded after renovation complete.
January 4, 2013 at 5:10 PMSue: Hi Alise,

I would be buying my own lights for my plaster ceiling.

If you are doing the L box plaster ceiling, I found 15 m LED light strip at about RM 360.

Downlight is about RM 18 each.

As for ceiling lamp, pendant lamp, try get it from IKEA, it is soooooo cheap. :-p

I think all my lights added up should be about less than 1k excluding installation fee.
January 4, 2013 at 5:12 PMSue: Hi Ang,

My thought is letting them do some of the works then I can save the RM 300-RM 500 rubbish fee. Hopefully the quality of the appointed contractor is alright. Keeping my finger crossed!

Gangster Contractor In New Condo At Batu Lanchang, Penang

April 11, 2012 Property News

10-04-2012 ~ Police have set up a task-force to zero-in on in-house contractors who are muscling for renovation jobs at newly completed apartments and condominiums using their links to triads in Penang.
An initial police probe found that many of them, who charged exorbitant prices for materials and workmanship, were protected by secret societies.
In the latest incident, police nabbed an “in-house” contractor, 34, after he had barred another contractor from starting renovation work at an apartment unit in Batu Lanchang here.
The suspect, said to have close links to the ‘08’ underworld gang, insisted that the house owner engaged him for the renovation or buy construction materials from him.
The victim, 59, lodged a police report on the matter.
George Town OCPD Asst Comm Gan Kong Meng said a suspect was picked up in Jelutong at 10am yesterday.
“He is now being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.
“We have received four police reports of such similar cases at the same newly completed apartment block,” ACP Gan said.
“We will not tolerate this. House owners who are threatened by such contractors can come to us. House owners can engage any contractor they like,” he told a press conference at George Town police district headquarters.
He advised those who faced similar problems in Jelutong to contact ASP Azhar Abu Bakar at 012-9065999, Insp Megat Shafril Emran at 019-4100400 or lodge a police report at the nearest police station.
The in-house contractors who monopolise renovations at newly completed high-rise residential buildings are mostly linked to secret societies active in the district.
It is learnt that house owners who refuse to engage them would be posed with all sort of problems, ranging from stolen or broken window panes, or having their unit doors, or walls damaged.
House owners were also forced to pay exorbitant prices for a wheelbarrow of sand or a bag of cement.
