May 25, 2008 at 10:09 PMAnonymous: To the owners, buyers with interests or investors, what is the market expectation on Palm P ? AA+ :) ? Just wondering how the value since it is about to complete soon.

At night it looks grand as the roof top has dim spot light reflecting upwards. Saw few buyers showing some interest, i guess they should grab it fast before prices shoot up again...owner here.
May 26, 2008 at 2:38 PMAnonymous: I'm also one of the owner of PP. What unit & which floor you bought? Another 2+ months OC obtain, we can start renovate our dream house :-)
May 26, 2008 at 5:00 PMAnonymous: why PP blog recently response so slow? any owners here. Please share some of ur idea how to renovate ur hse and any carpenter or interior designer to intro?
May 26, 2008 at 6:33 PMAnonymous: I heart that today, a minor renovation will already cost RM50K minumum.
May 26, 2008 at 7:05 PMAnonymous: Is there anyone know if PP will have sauna and jacuzzi facility?
May 27, 2008 at 12:36 AMAnonymous: I share this in other blog. My grading for houses in town in preference is;
(> means better than).

Delima palace > Bayswater> Palm palladium > the brezza > Regency height > I-Regency > ixora height > d-piazza > summer place > the spring > vista gambier > oasis.

Delima palance & palm palace are still the best as it is low dense and big size. Interior structure are very very nice. Bayswater, the brezza & regency height are in good grading but high dense with about 500units (500u * 3persons). The others are less prefereble.
May 27, 2008 at 7:52 AMAnonymous: Luckily I'm one of the owner for PP :-) Wah, minor renovation already costs RM50K :-(
May 27, 2008 at 7:57 AMAnonymous: No sauna and jacuzzi. Only normal facility like swimming pool, children playground, gym, BBQ pit, multi-purpose hall and maybe nursery.
May 27, 2008 at 11:42 AMAnonymous: How much the monthly maintenance fee?
I think most of the condo need about 50K minimum for renovation, unless you can accept to stay in a simple house.
May 27, 2008 at 12:08 PMAnonymous: RM0.14 per sqft. Are you interested on PP?
May 27, 2008 at 12:25 PMAnonymous: how about we find the same carpenter or interior design but with different type of design, so that we can get better rate or quote.
May 27, 2008 at 1:00 PMAnonymous: Can we use our own carpenter to renovate? Because Penang alot of places already booked by gangster.
May 27, 2008 at 4:31 PMAnonymous: booked by gangster???

i have no idea what ur toking abt...gangster also can afford stay nice place like pp..wahhh..these are high tech gangster...

what next..gangster move into multi million dollar "the cove condo"
May 27, 2008 at 5:32 PMAnonymous: The "gangster" is referring to renovation contractor. Most of Penang condo, you must use the appointed renovation contractor by developer. If you use your own contractor, your contractor workers might be threaten, or you still need to get the material from the appointed contractor with price higher than market price. There are already many cases in Penang. Still some of you not aware.
However, this normally only affected lower end condo/ apartment. High end condo should be gangster free.....
May 27, 2008 at 7:18 PMAnonymous: Hopefully no appointed contrator for PP. Did anyone already checked with developer this issue? If not, wasting our energy to survey around.
May 28, 2008 at 10:01 AMAnonymous: For sure there will be appointed contractor, so call penal. The thing is whether they are "gangster system" or "professional" one. If "professional" one, they may not stop you from getting your own contractor. Sometime, they could offer better service or competitive package.
May 28, 2008 at 10:02 AMAnonymous: I have checked with the developer sometime back, the developer will not appoint any specific contractor; it's up to the aparment owner to find renovator of their preference. however, need to pay some kind of deposit to make sure that the renovator does not damage the apartment when moving the building the materials; lift, floor, stairs etc and also to make sure the waste from the reno is properly disposed off.
May 28, 2008 at 11:08 AMAnonymous: any contrators or interior designers to intro? need to plan it because another 2~3 months OC obtain. at the time, we can renovate our dream house.
May 28, 2008 at 3:08 PMAnonymous: So many people want to sell? Is it because they buy it for fast earning, or something wrong with this condo and they regret?
May 28, 2008 at 3:36 PMAnonymous: 330K? too expensive
May 28, 2008 at 3:37 PMAnonymous: I think is fast earning. Anything wrong with this project?
May 28, 2008 at 3:43 PMAnonymous: I mean don't know actually how many PP owner go thru this blog because all only reply as anonymous and maybe all is the same people :-)
May 28, 2008 at 8:00 PMAnonymous: I just passby there last night. Very nice the light, I plan to use yellow color for my hse as well to match it.
May 30, 2008 at 8:08 AMAnonymous: slow response & no new topics for PP blog :-(
May 30, 2008 at 1:49 PMAnonymous: Is PP worth that high or some ppl are trying to fry the price high. No doubt PP is nice, but if compared to other condos, PP still loose out. I would be willing to pay a bit more for some place much more nicer, bigger landscape, bigger pool, more parking space, better assessibility etc.
May 30, 2008 at 1:56 PMAnonymous: I am also interested in PP. However due to my bank quota, I am not able to get any loan.

At the same time, I am expecting an economy down turn and less demand in property market.

Just look at our daily goods prices. It is double the price.

Meanwhile there are plenty of new projects coming up, the supply is over the demand.

Why buy a condo at the peak of property price?
May 30, 2008 at 5:18 PMAnonymous: anyone know exactly how high the ceiling is in PP condo? n do all the rooms have plaster ceiling and cornices?
June 1, 2008 at 9:51 AMAnonymous: Agree, why pay more to get PP while the buyers have more choices with better condo @ lower price???

PP is isolated with one entrance. Unless there is plan to wider the road or to have a new alternative route, else if anything wrong with the road, a lot of PP owners will be temporarily "homeless" !!!
June 1, 2008 at 3:22 PMAnonymous: Recently always concerning about PORR and Monorail. Anyone have any idea PORR and Monorail will go any nearer to PP? This is really a good concern point to discuss. I used to stay in KL where the apartment is close to the LRT, it will be noisy when the train passby.
I believe PORR and Monorail will not go near PP but i am still concerning because USM is just beside PP.
Any one has detailed roadmap?
June 1, 2008 at 8:55 PMAnonymous: (I'm PP Owner)
Not to worry my friend. It will not be near to PP. Perhaps, it might be more worrier for Vista Gambir owner or residents around that area. You may go to Vista Gambir link, they do discuss about this matter.
June 1, 2008 at 9:18 PMAnonymous: I just browsed GoogleMaps..

Looking at the landscape around PP, i saw an unoccupied piece of land(jungle-like/swappy area) infront of PP.

Did anyone know if that land belongs to USM or other party?

The area is quite huge though...I hope is belongs to USM but seeing Ideal Regency condo building on that area as well, i suspect it might belongs to some other developer....any thoughts?
June 2, 2008 at 1:22 PMAnonymous: Ceiling around 10ft.
Only toilet with plaster ceiling.
Without cornices but with aluminum window flames and tinted glass.
June 2, 2008 at 1:26 PMAnonymous: Unoccupied piece of land (Just in front of PP main entrance), that piece of land belong to USM.
June 3, 2008 at 11:29 PMAnonymous: I m a renovation contractor, in the progress of coming out with a few of interior design choices for PP owner, any one interested???Quality and Value For Money are our priority to serve your needs...
June 4, 2008 at 12:50 PMAnonymous: Anyone get quote from Verra Kitchen?
June 4, 2008 at 4:52 PMAnonymous: Hi renovation contractor,

Since you can get each type of floor plan from this blog, why not you list out ur quote for each type and the drawings. So we can budget it. Thanks.
June 5, 2008 at 12:29 AMAnonymous: To the anonym' asking about an empty land, I think he is asking about the one facing the swimming pool direction. That land is for sales. Anyone knows what type of property is liscense for that land ?

To the renovator, pls make sure your quote is a good one. And workmanship too.

Petrol price hikes again. I wonder will that bring PP prices higher?
June 5, 2008 at 8:02 AMAnonymous: Yup, petrol price hikes again :-( Please provide us better quote.
June 5, 2008 at 10:16 AMAnonymous: I think everyone right now could keeping their pocket ready for inflation rather than upgrading their home to bigger size or putting money into buying property. The money right now is to cater for the day-to-day living expenses... aiks...
June 5, 2008 at 2:38 PMAnonymous: if not because of petrol price hikes again, we can budget more for our renovation.
June 6, 2008 at 9:45 AMAnonymous: Let me tell u.

Petrol Price Hike 41%
Electricity Hike 18% - 26%
This is the symptom of Economy Crisis.

Now, the I hope the worst thing never happened. Bcoz Expenses of the Rakyat up. Mean their Saving lessen. Saving lessen means Bank will have less cash flow. THen Interest will Hike. I hope this wont happen. Last Crisis Interest rate to BLR 13%. If this happened . Ik now lar.. who can afford to invest in property and even had hard time to buy house to stay. I advise ppl who wanted to buy new properties now please look for Fixed rate Loan. Safe urself.

Economist
June 6, 2008 at 10:28 AMAnonymous: Hi, Economist,

U only listed the worst thing.

Petrol price increase? I have 2 car, and will get RM1250 yearly. With new petrol price, only increase ~RM1000 yearly. I actually make profit.

Electricity price increase. My current usage is below 400KW (average 200KW). Not many impact.

All other things price will increase due to petrol and electricity price increase. But most middle class people will no affected much. Their main concern is: where to keep the money? If keep in bank, the money depreciated over time. Option should be buy share of the company related to petrol, electricity or other commodity.

But not many people brace to take risk in share market. So, another option is invest in property. If price no good, still can rent to those cannot afford a property now. So, we can still cover the inflation.

This will happen after a few months later when people don't feel much paint by taking some re-structuring of their expenses. Otherwise if there is another increase in petrol price.

Your money is depreciating. You need to think of way to against inflation.

BLR will not increased in short term as announced by bank negara yesterday.

Rakyat
June 6, 2008 at 11:12 AMAnonymous: Nowadays, you can trust any annoucement made by anyone. The fuel price which is annouced to be revised on August 2008 but suddenly it increased near 50% overnight. So for BLR i believe the rate will increase very soon.
June 8, 2008 at 9:22 PMAnonymous: Anybody knows in which month we can move in? Can't wait till end of '08 because cost of renovation materials kept increasing. If 3yrs back needs $30K for reno, now you probably needs to fork out $40K~$45k to reno your unit...sigh!

Originally thought of selling but now hold back due to oil price hike. No point to earn some surplus where we need to spend more to get another one.
June 9, 2008 at 6:47 AMAnonymous: hi all, I am from other state and pretty interested with the this particular condo.
Can someone tell me if type C or B facing east/west (by taking the master room main window as reference)? Coz I have bad experience before where the bedroom is facing afternoon sun, it's really really bad... :(

I heard that there is a swimming pool somewhere in the middle of the building. Can anyone tell me which floor exactly it is?
June 9, 2008 at 2:36 PMAnonymous: Yalor, me too can't wait until end of the year but I know they are rushing to complete ASAP. My budget only RM30K for renovation.

Which floor & unit u bought?
June 9, 2008 at 2:39 PMAnonymous: Type B facing morning sun & Type C facing afternoon sun. But my budget only afford for Type C, I think is OK as long as we install air-con and curtain. 5th floor swimming pool.
June 9, 2008 at 3:13 PMAnonymous: I am really sad to hear that Someone actually think that he make profit from owning 2 cars? Really Retarded. ELectricity increase wont affect the Rakyat?
Please use a little bit of your brain RAKYAT~! This country is not only you in concern.

Maybe a genius thinking that you actually make profit from owning 2 car. CLEVER. Wat about the economy?
Logistic cost, Fuel cost, Manufacturing electricity bill, Hypermarket Electricity bill,
restaurant electricity bill, delivery of raw material bill, then everything will increase in price. For example an individual which can say 1k permonth will cut to maybe onli rm300 per month because of the inflation. then in longer term the Bank will be lack of cash to role. THen BLR will increase.

I dun know that this will somemore got ppl think as below :

1. I own 2 cars I profit rm1250 - rm1000 ==> RM250 profit ( retarded )

2. I use less electricity not much different.. ( retarded X 2 )

Economist
June 9, 2008 at 7:25 PMAnonymous: Please do not compare PP to the Spring la.. The market demand, rate of completion and developer strength of the Spring says it all.. Anyway, we should all be glad that both projects got completed before the current new wave of price increase sets in... New projects will sure suffer..
June 9, 2008 at 10:00 PMAnonymous: To...'Which floor & unit u bought?'; I am the owner of 13th floor type B.

Ya, time is ticking. I doubt $30K can do much of reno. If this include electrical appliances, that is even worst.

To the latest a'mous, ya agreed that we should be glad we safely and narrowly escaped from the oil price hike. I worry those project like i-regency, oasis and summer place. It is either workmanship worsen, unit price increase or materials reduced secretly....
June 10, 2008 at 9:50 AMAnonymous: Hi, Econimist,

Maybe you are right about what you said, if the world remian unchange afte the oil price and electricity price increased.

The reality is, every Rakyat will make necessary adjustment like me to fight against the situation, and a new optimal point will be established.

The example I quote is just to demostrate to you that there are always ways to overcome any crisis.

Please open your thought to all opinions different with yours. Sound not professional.

June 10, 2008 at 2:19 PMAnonymous: Finally I find another owner of PP here :-) Urs one is B1 or B2? I'm C1 owner.
June 12, 2008 at 8:17 PMAnonymous: wah, few days no any news from PP blog.
June 13, 2008 at 2:57 PMAnonymous: The impact only will be feel 6 months later. Then U will see.
Please investor. Try to cut your loans and debt. This is my advise.
try to lessen ur fuel consumption. Switch off air con if can. Yeah every crisis can be overcome like Rakyat said. I agree, but overcome with injuries cant be avoided. This is for ur own good. I am angry because u r giving wrong information to other people which might give them wrong direction. From what u have written it seems that u r still encouraging ppl to buy more properties. And i think this is not that good because u just wan to sell ur properties at a higher price. I also own a properties in Putra Marine. But at the moment i really dun wan anyone Malaysian to be too exposed to the properties market anymore. Many made profit from properties and that is true and I hope they will at least manage their risk exposure. My apology for the not professional note i have written. Forgive me. Take care.

June 13, 2008 at 8:01 PMAnonymous: Hi Econimist, thanks for your advise.
June 14, 2008 at 3:45 PMAnonymous: I am interested to buy PP type C high floor (2 car parks would be most welcome). Can anybody tell me about the estimated price for it? I need the info to budget for it.
June 16, 2008 at 6:00 PMAnonymous: Hi, Economics,

OK.

Just, don't keep too many cash. Cash will depreciated during recession.

June 16, 2008 at 8:20 PMAnonymous: any chances can get 1 unit of PP with price at 280K? lower floor preferable.
June 16, 2008 at 10:40 PMAnonymous: 280K? I also interested. Any sellers?
June 16, 2008 at 10:46 PMAnonymous: Any owners already plan how to renovate your unit?
June 17, 2008 at 10:47 PMAnonymous: ammar it is so clear that you are an agent trying to sell Damco unit. hahahaha.. MY god who would be so stupid enuff to buy thru u since for sure the buyer will have to pay 2% more (1% for ur agent fee and another 1% for damco since he will include into the selling price for this). might as well directly look for damco. If you are a serious agent get customers from somewhere else. Anyway PP is about 90-95% done. i think completion should be end of July. and if luck OC by end of Aug.
June 18, 2008 at 8:39 PMAnonymous: The Spring blog sharing alot of info regarding renovation. I think PP owners also must share their ideas from now onwards.
June 18, 2008 at 8:40 PMAnonymous: PP owners not active enough compare with The Spring :-(
June 18, 2008 at 8:41 PMAnonymous: Any update from developer when can we obtain OC?
June 18, 2008 at 8:44 PMAnonymous: Latest loan package from Alliance Bank :-
BLR-2.30% (Yr1-2), BLR-2.05%(TA)
June 18, 2008 at 10:35 PMAnonymous: Ya, it is glad we are moving in soon. Let us start sharing;

1. Anybody gone to view yr units ?
2. How is workmanship ? and overall satisfaction ?
3. Are they per show room spec ?
4. Let us combine to get a better rate for renovation...anybody can suggest a good renovator.

Hope pp residents can be more united.
June 18, 2008 at 10:41 PMAnonymous: Btw, anybody going for any second investment ? there is a property fair next weekend.

It looks like investing in property now is kind of risky even though interest rate looks attractive. I m a pp owner but also interested to get a 3 stories landed near my area. But the question is the price is $700++ and thinking of selling, it would be $900k & above. How to sell? crazy.
June 19, 2008 at 12:48 PMAnonymous: 1. Anybody gone to view yr units ?
>> Yes, I been there for few times but recently they are rushing to finish their work and not allow to visit anymore :-(

2. How is workmanship ? and overall satisfaction ?
>> Ok because is my 1st house and no comparison :-)

3. Are they per show room spec ?
>> I think so or else they sure kena complain by PP owner.

4. Let us combine to get a better rate for renovation...anybody can suggest a good renovator.
>> Yes, I can suggest you few good renovator. Can you please leave your email.

At last, which type and floor you bought? :-)
June 19, 2008 at 12:51 PMAnonymous: Btw, anybody going for any second investment ? there is a property fair next weekend.

June 19, 2008 at 7:20 PMAnonymous: IC, they allow u to enter?
What unit u bought? :-)
June 19, 2008 at 10:24 PMAnonymous: To...'I think so or else they sure kena complain by PP owner.'

To...'Yes, I can suggest you few good renovator. Can you please leave your email'

June 20, 2008 at 12:00 AMAnonymous: I can see it from U Garden. The photos in the developer website seems to be type A. Mine is type B.

June 20, 2008 at 5:27 PMAnonymous: ne pp owner 18th flr?
June 20, 2008 at 5:37 PMAnonymous: pp owner here..anyone thinking of getting kitchen/bedroom stuff from IKEA? in terms of pricing IKEA is still a good choice..only problem is the transportation n installation...altho' they can arrange all that
June 21, 2008 at 12:19 AMAnonymous: I just planned to go to ikea this coming Raya. It is open 24hrs daily. No shut down but transport is on your own and paid by yourself. Not arranged by them. Kind of disavantage. Self -serve item; cash & own carry. Full-serve item; ikea contractor with charge.

In this case, it is better to buy in penang unless you have a Hilux or van to drive them back.
June 21, 2008 at 2:42 PMAnonymous: actually i was at ikea recently n spoke to the kitchen planner/advisor n he said that they could arrange transportation n installation...for a fee of course ..
June 21, 2008 at 3:24 PMAnonymous: They already put on "TAR" road. I think almost completed or else they won't put on "TAR" road yet.
June 21, 2008 at 3:26 PMAnonymous: How much for Ikea kitchen?
June 21, 2008 at 3:27 PMAnonymous: If we need to transportation on our own costs for Ikea furniture, I don't think worth for it. Better find it here and more convenient.
June 21, 2008 at 4:17 PMAnonymous: Latest update :-
Previous showroom for Type B & C that located opposite in from of Palm Residence sign board, Harta Intan plan to built 3 bungalow units.
June 21, 2008 at 4:53 PMAnonymous: ikea kitchen depends on design..materials etc..starting from about rm8000.. what i like about ikea is that u get what u see...if its solid pine than thats what u get ..with local, smaller firms...they say one thing and u get another...i have heen to gcf in e-gate opp.tesco..not cheap...but designs and quality look good...with prices of everything going up..now paper products too anything thats wood based/derived will cost more...lucky for pp owners its completed
June 21, 2008 at 11:43 PMAnonymous: agreed. I served other blogs and looks like some ongoing projects are facing problems. Some with the fate of being stalled and some could get different 'spec' after completion. You know what i mean...

Btw, about ikea transportation arrangement, it is ikea's constractor, Mr Jaafar. Local delivery RM65 and to northen area it could be expensive.

An advice to Condo owners, never build wardrobe set fix to every rooms. Get a detachable type. It is movable and cheap. When we sell the unit, we can move it to new house. No new owners would appreciate what we built now as it will become old to them.
June 23, 2008 at 10:39 PMAnonymous: Anyone already bought furnitures for your unit?
June 23, 2008 at 10:41 PMAnonymous: Local delivery alraedy RM65, northen area sure very expensive because need to include return costs and 300+KM away from KL.
June 23, 2008 at 10:44 PMAnonymous: Yes,agreed with you never build wardrobe set fix to every rooms.
June 23, 2008 at 10:47 PMAnonymous: next month all mattress and furnitures price will increased.
June 23, 2008 at 10:49 PMAnonymous: This weekend Property & Home Show at PISA. Remember go there shopping :-)
June 24, 2008 at 4:42 PMAnonymous: anyone went to home n property fair last weekend? the trouble is if we rush out n start buying furniture without actually planning the interior deco of condo, we might end up with things that are not suitable etc and spend more
June 25, 2008 at 12:58 PMAnonymous: Not bad, so many buyers plan to buy PP.
June 25, 2008 at 4:07 PMAnonymous: Guys and Gals, Start Counting Down to your new resident... = )

they blocked the entrance ady so cannot enter anymore.
June 25, 2008 at 5:34 PMAnonymous: Any suggestion when OC can be obtained? I heard that The Spring wilbe next year near CNY. What about Palm Palladium?
June 26, 2008 at 11:43 AMAnonymous: Latest update is end of Aug or early of Sep.
June 26, 2008 at 11:44 AMAnonymous: When I asked the developer about a month ago, they said OC will be in coming Sept.
June 26, 2008 at 5:05 PMAnonymous: I just called Harta Intan office today, and one of the Sales person told me that they havent apply for any OC yet...Wondering when the OC can be obtained.
June 26, 2008 at 7:13 PMAnonymous: Too bad :-( I thought almost all completed.
June 26, 2008 at 10:52 PMAnonymous: Me too heard that in Sept the OC will be ready. So, the developer may apply OC in July as it needs 2 months for OC applicaiton and housing office to inspect the building.

Not sure how many residents will there be?
June 27, 2008 at 10:02 AMAnonymous: can the residents be there during the OC inspection?
June 27, 2008 at 10:11 AMAnonymous: Hopefully all la :-)
Anyone want to apply Penang Fon?
June 27, 2008 at 10:36 AMAnonymous: Okies..Lets gather all 2gether during the inspection.
June 27, 2008 at 1:55 PMAnonymous: Any idea when will the inspection be? If we know when, then all of us can be there.. :P
June 28, 2008 at 8:57 PMAnonymous: Inspection? After or before OC obtain?
June 29, 2008 at 4:04 PMAnonymous: PISA Property Fair nothing to see :-(
June 29, 2008 at 9:14 PMAnonymous: You are right. Nothing much but I saw few families were rushing frantically to the fair fearing of losing out. Perhaps, this shows how Penang ppl is.

Nevethesless, it is a sign of economy slow down with high inflationary and phasing in of early recessionary indication. Most developers will wait and see and so are the buyers. I guess the whole M'sis economy will start to plunge soon coupled with uncetainty in our political arena.
July 1, 2008 at 5:26 PMAnonymous: The Spring owner already doing quotation for the renovation aggressively. Why no people concern about renovation here?
July 1, 2008 at 5:46 PMAnonymous: For three extreme reasons why no people concern on renovation:
1. Too rich, dont bother to compare price.
2. Too poor, not even able to do renovation.
3. he/she is speculator.
July 2, 2008 at 8:04 AMAnonymous: haha.... but I'm not in one of the above categories.
July 2, 2008 at 7:05 PMAnonymous: any pp owner know when oc will be ready?
July 2, 2008 at 9:11 PMAnonymous: I heard its either September or October...Hopefully before end of this year :) Cant wait to move in
July 3, 2008 at 12:17 PMAnonymous: me too cant wait to move in..with the prices of everything going up the sooner we get oc the better...without doubt looking at the current situation come next year everything would be even more expensive...by the way harta intan is going to build 3 bungalows on the site where the showrooms for pp were located.
July 4, 2008 at 10:34 AMAnonymous: Last week I saw the road completed until the fench of the empty land. Have to wait for the construction on the empty land before the road can further connected to Bukit Gambier.
July 4, 2008 at 10:52 PMAnonymous: What? Sep or Oct just obtain OC? Too bad :-(
July 5, 2008 at 8:50 AMAnonymous: The OC will onlY Be Obtain The Beginning Of Next yeaR. January 09 before Chinese New Year.

Regards,
LandScaper.com
July 5, 2008 at 3:04 PMAnonymous: did u confirm with harta intan? if true that will be a long wait- half a year...pp appears completed already and every night its all lighted up..doesnt make sense to leave the condo unoccupied for so long
July 6, 2008 at 1:14 AMAnonymous: If tis is true that OC to be obtained in early '09, we can cliam late OC delivery charge. Well, some gain for our renovation cost. The developer will definitely try to complete PP asap.
July 6, 2008 at 9:20 PMAnonymous: Why not we just call up Harta Intan and double confirm the date when OC cab be obtained. I tried but the receptionist passed the call to the marketing officer whom's not willing to expose too much info to me..I tot its our right to knw this fm the developer.
July 7, 2008 at 10:12 AMAnonymous: The S&P only covered until VP. Developer will not pay for late OC. Normally, OC obtained about 2 months after VP.
July 7, 2008 at 5:56 PMAnonymous: rang up harta intan...wanted to speak to carmen...sales officer but she was on leave so asked the lady about oc n she said around august/september..anyone else called also?
July 7, 2008 at 10:31 PMAnonymous: To, '...S/P cover up to VP'.

Why restrict ourselves to this rule? haven't we learnt enough back in 1997 where buyers had been victimised? Do you want to accept procession which is only 80~85% in completion even if the developer notify buyers for key collection?
I will make it big if it is not as per spec and agreement. The developer don't have to think about setting their foot even in Malaysia anymore. Think about it, you have your right!
July 8, 2008 at 4:35 PMAnonymous: OC obtain on august/september still acceptable.
July 8, 2008 at 9:15 PMAnonymous: Harta intan group is a very responsible developer la brother, dont worry about the OC, definitely around these few months. PP is already completed, including the interior parts, so, why worry? Probably need some more time for finishing of the building only, or may be imposed tighter QC.
PP is the among the best condo, if not the best, around this area. Appreciate and be proud of it.
July 9, 2008 at 5:01 PMAnonymous: Hi, I've called the developer. They said most probably OC can be obtained either Mid Sept or early Oct 2008!! Hurray!!
July 9, 2008 at 8:12 PMAnonymous: Mid of Sep or early of Oct? Too late for me because rushing to move in :-)

Yes, I like PP. Everynite back home, I can see the light of this condo at the middle of the bridge (near Bayan Baru big roundabout)
July 9, 2008 at 10:33 PMAnonymous: It is good if H.intan sticks to the commit date. Early this year, they said mid-Aug or early Sept. Now they said Sept or early Oct. This is M'sian style. I wonder how many years will it take to fine tune our mindset?

Anyway, hope that H.Intan knows the contract is near to 3 yrs now.
July 10, 2008 at 8:14 PMAnonymous: yes, hopefully OC can obtain ASAP and we can move in. bside OC, any other topic to share at this blog? like renovator n etc....
July 11, 2008 at 12:46 PMAnonymous: I Bet They definitely Wont Obtain the O.C
Even the End of OCT.
Think Use ur Brain.
Since when they telling all of U that they going to Get O.C Obtained?

Ask Urself.
And Sept and OCT Is the 4rd Quarter. FOr a reliable company, they will Get is by August for for 3rd quarter account. If U all understand what i mean.

Regards,
Conned
July 11, 2008 at 2:35 PMAnonymous: u may be right but like everything else delays do occur especially with rise in prices, shortage of building materials,..so often projected dates not possible..dont forget delay could also be due to certain people waiting for "grease money"..u know lah..malaysia boleh...terrible social disease.by the way are u a pp owner or just want to make people feel bad...thats not nice
July 11, 2008 at 2:41 PMAnonymous: dont forget delays occur becos of price increase of building materials, shortage etc..developers will give projected date..anyway pp has been completed in good time...no delay in fact...by the way are u a pp owner or someone who enjoys making other people feel bad
July 11, 2008 at 5:19 PMAnonymous: yes, r u owner of PP? if not, pls dun simply make assumption and let ppl worry.
July 11, 2008 at 5:53 PMAnonymous: Have a look on the website http://www.higroup.com.my/ , I believe they have updated new pictures for us to view. It looks like it is more or less completed already. It should not be very long before we get the OCs. Normally the common area is the last part to be completed. I believe it is more on touching up here and there only. Be cool...
July 11, 2008 at 6:17 PMAnonymous: yes..pictures look good..in fact i live in the area so i can say that pp is completed...so just be patient...by the way anyone know of a good n reasonable interior decorator? also anyone thinking of getting things from ikea...they have a kitchen planner..that u can download...really good...go to www.IKEA.com.my
July 12, 2008 at 12:29 AMAnonymous: Ya, the swimming pool area looks completed. I strongly feel in love with this property as it is not crowded, low dense and secluded. No heavy traffic near this area. I hope everybody can have a nice neighbourhood when we move in.

I m going to KL during Raya. Mission is to Ikea. I have a catalogue but viewing the actual ones are better than those in the book.
July 12, 2008 at 12:43 AMAnonymous: By the way, anybody has made a movie of this nice property? can share with us?
July 12, 2008 at 12:57 AMAnonymous: Btw, anybody knows why the building colour had been changed from yellow to white ?
July 12, 2008 at 7:53 AMAnonymous: guys, there is a open house for Palm P today (sat) from 11am~5PM. I am going..see you there.
July 12, 2008 at 4:52 PMAnonymous: went to pp today..open house for some units type A still availble. didnt get chance to see my own unit as locked..but saw facilities etc..really good...looks classy..well equipped gym, pool room n function room..altho swimming pool is not big..its a good size...developer was there so spoke to him ..said applied for oc already..govt. dept is a bit slow as usual...checking bit by bit..anyway hopefully by august/september 08
July 12, 2008 at 8:44 PMAnonymous: OMG~ I also agree. I feel PP will not be able to get O.C on time d.
Make ppl feel bad? Who? I feel he/she is right. I think O.C to be obtained by end of the year. By 1st quarter of next year. Dun worry. O.C will obtain one. But I already seen the workmanship er.. quality er.. below my expectation. Hm... To COnfirm I am a "B type" owner. But it is still ok with me getting O.C late as long as b4 CNY next year. Bcoz I need to sell my Condo to get $$ for renovation.

Sincerely,
21-Cantoment Road-Avril Guard
July 13, 2008 at 10:42 AMAnonymous: car park really small.
July 13, 2008 at 11:52 PMAnonymous: A friend of mine just visited type A, price now is $580K! It is over $100K increase...but my friend said no ISO improvement...hahaa. He said door never change to a solid type and still sells at $580K. Well, quite true.

The empty land in front of PP is going to be bangalow/semi-d but different developer. At least no condo to be built in front of PP.
July 14, 2008 at 12:03 AMAnonymous: Agreed! the workmanship is so-so. If you take scotland villa to compare, PP will loose out straight! If you take bayswater.. it is quite near to it. When I went there, overall is quite good until we see our own unit then will I comment further.

Lobby was not as per the postcard sent to us. Supposed to be marber wall..Lobby was expectedly small,it is ok though.

We are the only block there. So, visitors or our 3rd car can park outside. Plenty of parking areas.

What i think Harta Intan should do is; replace the bars sorrounding swimming pool area to the aluminium type. At least it looks classy to sell the $580K!! Windows near lifts should change to sliding type. Now it is like the apt layers type. A surprise!!!
July 14, 2008 at 11:23 AMAnonymous: anyone notice that the lobby rain-shelter is not there per the postcard? It should be there.

Anyone did confirm witht the developer on this before?
July 14, 2008 at 3:33 PMAnonymous: They want to cut cost... everything also expensive so they juz use a cheap material to change it. they change alot of cheap material inside this condo but the price very Expensive! Not worth it!!

oWnerPP2
July 14, 2008 at 5:03 PMAnonymous: The lobby rain shelter will be installed. I saw the steel protruding from the wall.

This proj was completed before fuel price hike. Ya, hopefully the bricks and cement are materials not reduced. If not we will see spider webs like Pernas project.
July 15, 2008 at 12:59 AMAnonymous: I went to the open house, and saw there were already cracks which appear inside the show unit(Level 6) How come such a new place can have crack....

Also the window pane on each floor beside the staircase and lift, is like the low cost flat window...
July 15, 2008 at 11:15 AMAnonymous: What is the price for type C now?
July 15, 2008 at 1:38 PMAnonymous: well maybe cracks appear because of the reno/decorating in the showflat type A 6th floor..maybe after open house is over the cracks will be plastered etc...to be honest we cannot expect everything to be perfect ..up to our own expectations..given the cost of everything now..if pp owners nothappy im sure they will still make a good profit if they sell
July 15, 2008 at 2:22 PMAnonymous: Look at this blog's front page, it showed that Palladium captical ady increased 50% since 2006. sounds good huh?

Rgds,
-SoFarSoGood
July 15, 2008 at 2:33 PMAnonymous: I have chance to take a look at type C at 6th floor...a bit disappointed with the design for master room and living room...too many corners that u cant notice from the floor plan....and the window placement also different from floor plan....i did took some pictures for type C....anyone interested to have a look?
July 15, 2008 at 4:22 PMAnonymous: could u post the pictures of type c u took...would appreciate it tks
July 15, 2008 at 6:19 PMAnonymous: Type C
check it out!!!
http://palmpalladium.blogspot.com/
July 15, 2008 at 7:23 PMAnonymous: thanks for ur upload.
July 15, 2008 at 7:25 PMAnonymous: tks esther...actually the "corners" are not that bad...cant help it..cos of the design. as pp owners we should be positive and see "problems" as opportunity...maybe an interior designer will be able to help make it look good...anyone getting an interior designer who will do kitchen cabinets, bedroom, lighting plastering as a package?..
July 15, 2008 at 11:35 PMAnonymous: Just my personal view ya..I am sorry but palm palladium looks like a low-medium cost apartment from the outside. I could have sworn the initial artist impression looks better. At RM300K+ , shouldnt it look at least look more modern like the recent projects like spring, bayswater or time square?
July 16, 2008 at 11:00 AMAnonymous: I am not a PP owner but I think PP looks nice from outside. But inside quality is not so good, check the cracks and window pane(low cost window pane)
July 16, 2008 at 4:59 PMAnonymous: Esther,

The corners can be seen from the Type C floor plan. I guess you don't know how to read such floor plans.
July 16, 2008 at 6:13 PMAnonymous: Hi anonymous, mayb Esther din c it la. Anyway Esther did a good job to create personal PP blog to upload all the pics.
July 16, 2008 at 8:32 PMAnonymous: Gigi, probably you have not gone to the site of PP and looked at it closely. I think it is quite classy. Find a day and visit PP, it may give you a different view.
July 16, 2008 at 10:01 PMAnonymous: Can we sue or ask compensation from the developer since the actual place is different with floor plan? Feedback is most welcomed!!
July 17, 2008 at 12:05 AMAnonymous: pp kaki, pls send the contacts to kc.lim28@yahoo.com.Thanks

I took the picture of 5th floor, mainly the gym, swimming pool and open space. If you like i can email to you.

About the 'classyness'; well pray that the building has been completed. We are already out of fuel price hike danger zone. Look at i-regency / vista g., materials been changed to reduce cost. At least we will get OC soon. Anyhow, we still have our right to demand on the bad workmanship.

To a'mous, you can demand developer to explain to you why the floor plan differs but you need to measure in precise to contest their claim. Well, they will always say...'well,my project price surge 50% now and everything is the best'.

Anybody interested to hire a land valuer to check the unit size whether they are per spec ? I will get one. If you are interested just drop me an email, we can share the cost.
July 17, 2008 at 7:50 AMAnonymous: Hi Senior,
I am very keen to look at these pictures especially the gym and carpark. However, would appreciate if you could upload those pictures onto the blog so that all PP owners can view them...Thanks in advance!!
July 17, 2008 at 8:38 AMAnonymous: Well, i shouldn't say many corners cant be noticed from the floor plan..

Anyway, these corners create some limitations to me...For more details, check it out at http://palmpalladium.blogspot.com/

Please feel free to leave ur comments as well..:)
July 17, 2008 at 10:16 AMAnonymous: Esther, thanks for update again. Which floow and type you bought C1 or C2?
July 17, 2008 at 11:54 AMAnonymous: susie who told u actual size of condo is different from floor plan? esther says too many corners but as was pointed out corners are per spec. i must admit that when pp is viewed from the pool angle it is not that special regarding design but please also look at the front usm side...it looks good...n i like the water effect in front. by the way im a pp owner ..i think as owners we should not start finding fault with everything...boh song la ..to be honest if we want everything the way we want then we have to build our our house..lets be realistic..also the gym looks really good..the equipment..layout and even the washrooms for swimming pool..be positive guys...think positive.. things will be positive..dont be so kow cheh!
July 17, 2008 at 12:20 PMAnonymous: "dont be so kow cheh!" haha....
finally alot of pp owner go thru this blog. lets keep going post comments n etc....
July 17, 2008 at 1:15 PMAnonymous: we have our rights la, if you say just accept what developer give, then i can say that person money easy to cheat. u understand? Pls la, this is not few hundred rinngit things. We pay for it, and not cheap also. Of cos need to get what is promised by them.
July 17, 2008 at 1:26 PMAnonymous: Susie said actual 'place' is differ from the floor plan..not actual 'size'...
I think she means that what you see on the floor plan is not exactly what you will get..., is it?
Based on the pictures taken and the floor plan, we can see that:
-living room: 1 window is missing
-master room: 1 window has been moved to center of the wall...
so, in my opinion, these 2 points are considered as differences..
Any comments?
July 17, 2008 at 1:42 PMAnonymous: Yups, agreed with Susie. Suddenly added one extra window in the master bed room. Like the unit full with windows everywhere...The swimming pool size is too small, I guess. And the guard house area is so limited in space.I am just giving my comments. Correct me if i am wrong...
July 17, 2008 at 1:56 PMAnonymous: aiyahh..size of guard house also want jto complain...as long as it functions ok what is the problem?
July 17, 2008 at 2:56 PMAnonymous: Hi susie & pp owner, I just know the differences between floor plan & actual unit? Did anyone of u highlighted to developer? If yes, please share with us the outcome. Thanks.
July 17, 2008 at 5:25 PMAnonymous: I missed the open house! I have been waiting for the chance to take a peek inside! :(
July 17, 2008 at 5:52 PMAnonymous: Hi twm, you still can visit the show unit anytime during working hrs. As I know, few of their staffs station there for those type A potential buyers.
July 17, 2008 at 6:50 PMAnonymous: Great! Will drop by to take a look then, thanks pp kaki!
July 17, 2008 at 7:42 PMAnonymous: Hi twm, welcome. Hopefully u will b one of the PP owner very soon or u already one of the owner there? :-)
July 17, 2008 at 9:31 PMAnonymous: Susie, you are very miao la...always wanna kaka cau cau...let's find a good ID for our house instead of complaining this and that, the developer wont pay u your compensation one la...unless you have enough money to sue them la...
What i think important is that we have to be united and keep this condo in good condition...hope the miao ppl and lanci ppl dont stay in PP. Hate them!!!
July 17, 2008 at 11:08 PMAnonymous: SS, cool down. They have the right to voice up their concerns. U also one of the pp owner? Which unit u bought? Yes, we must united and I'm trying to call the owner contact.
July 17, 2008 at 11:20 PMAnonymous: haha, look at this blog really sounds fun. All the local ascent
samua pun come out la li lo... = P

Well, complain to developer is not a bad thing at all at least it did hilite to the developer that they have rooms for improvement and it basically didn't cost you anything except "cake ki" abit only.

Personally, i opted Palladium 70% due to the location(secluded, non-heavy-traffic) and the balcony spacing(*each balcony NOT even close to each other. I really can't find any such design in any condo or you may say apartment or flat :p)

So, my money goes to the above 2 points.

*Also, dont be suprise to find out that your office colleague is your neighbour =p =P =P.....

Intelian? Agilian? Motorolian? Avagoian? AMDian? Alterian? Seagatian? Lumiledian? indian? alien? hehee....

Have fun guys!

thanks
Abothen
July 18, 2008 at 12:10 AMAnonymous: yes, I'm one of the owners. The main point I like about PP is its low dens. My only concern is the road leading to it, I find it a bit eerie & insecure, especially at night. Hopefully the road will be lighted up??
July 18, 2008 at 12:15 AMAnonymous: SS, cool down.. cool down.. i not miao la.. just sharing what i see ma...
July 18, 2008 at 12:48 AMAnonymous: To 'PP owner' and 'pp kaki';

Pls visit my http://palmpenang.blogspot.com/ newly and painstakingly created blogspot. First time user and blog construction may seem a bit messy.

To all other owners, you are welcomed to view and hope you could share more comment.

So, about my question whether there is anybody interested to get a land valuer to measure the size if it is per spec? Email me kc.lim28@yahoo.com and we can share the cost. Have fun.
July 18, 2008 at 8:05 AMAnonymous: not bad, PP got 2 personal blog to share their pics. Gambateh Esther & KC!!!!
July 18, 2008 at 8:08 AMAnonymous: Hi All,

Its good that all of us, PP owners reunited again~ I think we shud alwiz gv our opinions and feedbacks so that the developer wil look into the matter for future improvements...Else, they will thought we are all satisfied with everything rite? No way rite? Desperately waiting for OC now...
July 18, 2008 at 8:09 AMAnonymous: hi twm, yes agreed with u the road leading to pp. hopefully another 3~5 years, another road link to bukit gambier.

hi Abothen, another new pp owner here. nice to meet u!!!! which "ian" u r? haha....
July 18, 2008 at 8:11 AMAnonymous: Thanks a lot KC.Lim for the latest pictures updates in the blog..As for the land valuer thingy, let me discuss with my partner & I'll got back to you soonest possible ya!!
July 18, 2008 at 9:18 AMAnonymous: as most pp owners would know there are two roads that u can take...one is the road leading to u grds..turn left just before the guard house then right or the road that twm says is a bit eerie..actually i have been told that the land next to it will be developed..double story link houses so i think when that happens the road will have lighting.
July 18, 2008 at 1:04 PMAnonymous: Hi all pp owner, how about we have small gathering this or next week to meet up together? To know each other instead of thru blog? :-)
July 18, 2008 at 1:05 PMAnonymous: double story link houses? who is the developer and what is the prices?
July 20, 2008 at 12:12 PMAnonymous: looks like a lot of intruders here. Some sound like owner and agent. I received an equiry from Esth, not sure if this is the same person Esther up there.
July 20, 2008 at 12:13 PMAnonymous: pp kaki, your suggestion sounds good. Where and when to meet up?
July 20, 2008 at 5:44 PMAnonymous: Hi Anonymous, can you please leave ur contact or email?

How about we make it next Sat or Sun at E-gate, Old Town or Starbucks? :-)
July 22, 2008 at 1:36 PMAnonymous: Hi All,

ALready 2 days. Any update for gathering? ON or OFF?
July 22, 2008 at 1:37 PMAnonymous: learnt that we have to pay rm5k for sinking fund b4 collecting our unit's key..then y we still have to pay another 10% of our maintenance fee every month as sinking fund? don u agree that we contribute too much for juz for sinking fund?
July 22, 2008 at 7:42 PMele: regarding sinking fund..i read in the spring blog that the 10% of monthly maintenance is new housing rule...becos if developer collects lump sum of rm5000 for sinking fund...the money may just disappear as happened with u grds, n park..so i dont think we need pay the rm 5000...someone please confirm
July 22, 2008 at 9:31 PMBB: did any of the PP's owner check their s&p? any part of the agreement mentioning this Rm5k payment? pls check!
July 22, 2008 at 10:24 PMthe thinker: I was told about $5K before signing s/p. I cant remember if there is any $5K stated in s/p.

As a matter of fact, there is a clause in s/p where developer will not form a committee upon OC issuance but will pass to residents to do it instead. If we can form a committee, we can manage the fund well. Just volunteer ourselves to form an effective committee.

But we can refuse to pay it since it is not stated in s/p.
July 23, 2008 at 8:22 AMLim: I believe that there is another document called deeds of mutual covenants and it is stated there. Is that applicable?
July 23, 2008 at 9:15 AMMoonLight LaDy: sure or not...better check the S7P 1st..otherwise, no money..no talk..no money..no keys..ahahha
July 23, 2008 at 11:03 AMYeoh: anyone already checked with developer? if yes, please share with us. thanks.
July 23, 2008 at 6:14 PMYeoh: alot of buyer want to buy PP now
