«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 1372 Newer› Newest»all agents & speculators are eagerly waiting to making big bucks from this project, probably another 100-200k 'clean profit'??.....good luck to those genuine buyers....hahaha
KS_rev: I guess you must be a potential buyer who's angry with the current second hand price, which is beyond your budget. However, prices of all properties in Penang are getting dearer...
I read an article in ST last week that the reason is not because the old properties are getting valuable, rather, the cost of land and construction material for new launches are getting more expensive. Perhaps that's because new land in Penang are sold through tender, rather than selling at the cheap to crony?
KS_rev: The same with properties in KL/PJ. I find that buying old properties (and reburbishing) are cheaper than buying new launches. Perhaps you should look for older buildings in Penang.
william,
yes i am very regret that i did not buy a house last year which i found out the price have been different by >60k in 6 months in recent hike, for speculating reason.
You mention about buying a older house and refurbish, yes that idea is good for landed where after u refurbish it's still 'like new'. But how can you apply this to a 10+ years apartment/condo, yes you spend big $ refurbish then your unit is like new, but what about the overall building structure and it's facilities? Is still aging (unless the management is doing good work all the years). Somehow you know what renovation fee is PG island is WAY EXPENSIVE than even in KL, it's just not worth to spend these $$ for few years, then start looking for another new house because your current condo will go into 'run-down' condition...
KS Rev,
There are well run older condos. These condos has proven to with stand the ravages of time. Avoid Condos that are poorly maintained as some condos has poor ability to collect monthly fee or sinking fund. A good example from my personal experience is Gurney Park Condos. Owners expect $3000 a month rental and sale price of 500K and above but the common areas is run down, gym is barely serviceable, pool is dirty and elevators break down are the way of life there. Beside it is very "chup". Low class service apartment caters to sick Indonesian who arrived here for treatments!
KS_Rev,
Read this article, you may be able to find one that suits you:
http://blog.intproperties.com/
Personally my suggestion to you are If you are looking for investment (passive income), freehold/leasehold may not be so important as long as the area is matured or with growth potential. Tenants will not care whether it is lease or freehold anyway. Looking for projects with commercial lots (shops/eatery) nearby and best if within walking distance, easier to find tenant. Looking at current popular cases such as bayswater,putra place, gold coast, marina bay,tg park all fulfiling this criteria). Summerplace could very well fit into this category as well as long as Lot-28 and maritime square take-off sucessfully. Choose the "worst" unit within the "best" location could be another option, this is how Gurney parks stands out among the rest, not difficult to understand but somehow this appeared to agitate Penang Fan quite a bit. As for the hot location, i would think along the whole Lim Chong Eu expressway from batu maung to Macallum as this goes inline with the government focus growth currently with the 2nd bridge construction, SME parks, existing industrial parks, and perhaps The mega integrated development such as bayan indah new reclaim, Light Waterfront and southbay. George Town is too congested, as for the tourist belt along gurney to batu ferringhi, existing price already too expensive.
And last if you are looking for long term own staying, don't wait, as always there is no better time but now. Look for what you like and within your own affordability, move in and enjoy, that's all!
Saw the logo days ago, it looks ok... But the guard house is still way far from elegant. Can we do something to let IJM knwos that this higher class condo has a lower class guard house as compared to Ocean View or The Spring? Does anyone has the same feeling too?
Hi mohd hafiz,
Yeah, can't trust anymore unless until we are really informed and got the keys.
Penang Lang,
Do you encounter any late payment charge? What can we do about it?
Regarding lift lobbies:
- Tower 3 (Type B) has the most beautiful lobby.
- Lobbies in Tower 1 and Tower 2 are very ugly, for:
1) They are smaller, but most importantly,
2) There are 3-4 utility doors built insider the lobbies which are covered with security glass doors. The utility doors are and looked cheap. The yellowish door color is the one most common used in cheap flat.
Could anyone make a complaint to IJM?
If I'm not mistaken, this is a medium cost apartment as stated in SnP... I think IJM does not treat it as a high class condo.
To me, how elegant of guard house is not that important. The most important is the security is good and strong. I still can accept the current guard house.
Anyway, it will be good if there has the shielding at the scan in/out entrance/guard house. This is more convenient for the resident while scanning through the system especially in rainy day.
I have no chance to go lobby to take a look. Don't know how ugly of the lobby in Tower 1 and 2. Again, for long term, most important to me is we must have a very strong management to do the maintenance. No well maintain, no matter how beautiful of your building or landscape... it would be looked like a cheap flat at the end.
Yes, you are absolutely right. Even we have high class facilities, most importantly is the maintenance that plays the part in long run.
Guardhouse has its purpose. Do we want fanciful guardhouse for the guards to relax in? The maintenance cost would be fanciful too. I've pop in last month and delighted IJM is installing wood panel at the lift lobby. Dont expect hotel type of lobby cause again, the maintenance will be costly. Guess we have to be realistic.... luxury comes at a price.
just got a reply from ijm, vp letter will b send out by this friday or next monday..once the bank release the final drawdown by 1st or 2nd week of Jan only we can collect the keys.n then the OC shud b end of Jan or after CNY already...
so disappointed with them..tot that hand over the keys will be this month.
Smile & Jimmy,
Fully agree with both of you.
"most importantly is the maintenance that plays the part in long run".
Hi Smile,
I do agree that strong security is a MUST. But why do The Spring and Ocean View have an elegant entrance, but Summer Place doesn't deserve one while we're paying more? It does matter to make Summer Place a more elegant place.
Hi William,
Of course we know the purpose of guard house. I'm not talking about the fanciful kinda guardhouse, but at least a more presentable one as compared with the lower cost The Spring and Ocean View. It also serves as the MAIN and ONLY ENTRANCE of our place. Why don't we choose a better one, if IJM is willing to fix it better? :)
I notice that IJM has removed the dead tree :) However, the contractor's banner is still there?
a Christmas gift from IJM as we got VP by today, better than nothing :) cheers...
Got eh key already, how come i am not informed yet? Only selective people or what? Anyway, thought there suppose to be a Key hand-over ceremony normally?
Ya....Everyone is excited....So, should be all informed about collection of keys...
HL,
Your sales call you??? Look like not much puchaser been informed for that.
However is a really good news for the Christmas!! Ho!Ho!Ho!
TM: yes, i received my VP letter from IJM, and i believe you should have it by 24 Dec or else next Monday. cheers... (*going to collect my key by tomorrow and enjoy the facility first since maintenance fees is start now)
I understand VP has just been issued. Would love to hear any comments on the finishes, please post some.
HL,
Very bad, i did not any received the letter yet.
Which Tower you bought? Mine one is Tower 2.
Hope to receive on Monday as you said :D
Cheers....
TM,
is tower 2. but we have to call ijm before we go to claim the keys. the reason is, have to wait the bank release the final payment to them. they ask me to call in by next week, either Wednesday/Thursday.
No worries, you should have your letter soon. Merry Christmas!
Yup, received the VP letter on Xmas Eve. Two payment need to be clear before key collection. 1st, the remaining balance that need to be release from bank. 2nd payment is 1 month (deposit) & 3 month (advance) maintenance fees + 3 month sinking fund.
yup received invoice dated 24th December 2010. have even started to receive phone calls from real estate agents .... so clever that they always seem to be able to get the owners listing.
Thought the real state agents already have >10 units to sell, what for still calling the unit owner??
I still yet to receive the letter..:( :(
TM, more agents call is good news. It show good demand ma.i dont mind if agent call me provided they act professionally!! Anyway im buying for own stay. looking forward to collect keys this week. Cheers!!
No rush. Hundreds of unit up for sales.
there is going to be a large percentage of subsale for this property. Yeow did you have a look inside ... is it nice?
WoW so cheap...
Platino, why dont you just call Suzanne since there's a contact number given. Let us know after you bought it with cash.
it is typing error la. not 299 , is 399 la. dont get too excited!! hehe
I have just received my VP letter today, very happy. However i am not very clear on what to proceed next, especially on the bank settlement part. Do I suppose to follow with someone myself, or IJM/lawyer would follow up and keep me updated on the status?
Hi Summer,
1st, you need to call to IJM see whether can collect the key or not. They will check for your payment see whether your bank did release the payment for them or not.Then they will let you know can or cannot get the key.
If they say your bank already fully released the payment then you need to call to your bank and ask when is your 1st installment start. Before go to collect the key, pls buy the bank draft or what stated in the letter to pay for the sinking fund and the maintenance.
After you get the key, pls do your QC by yourself.
1. Check every tile, see is that solid or not.
2. Check your wall, see got any gap or break line or not.
3. Check your water, toilet bow/water pipe got leaking... etc
This is what I understand.
Hi, any subsale buyer? What shall we do? Follow owner to view the house?
Thanks Smile. Anyway, hoping that fellow owners who have done the inspection can share on what are the findings or defects detected, is this case the others can learnt and be more cautious in those areas..
Please check if we are starting to pay the maintance fees right now starting Dec.
Hi Summer and all the owners,
I visited the house with my friend that got her key and she asked me to act on behalf to comment. So far, the furnishing is acceptable and the area of the house is space effective even only 1012 sf. No major renovation is needed. The bridge view is nice even at unit 1 10th floor. Not much comment on the house itself except the balcony's and the viewing deck's fench are rather unstable and not solid. The letter box's lock are mostly rusty. The Poolside Shelter with timber decks are surely not enough and propose to add 2 more near to the gym and 2 more near to the Children’s Wading Pool. Hope more comments to be posted for sharing and highlighted to IJM.
hi Jimmy,
i am also Summer place owner. When did your friend gotten her key? IJM sent her a letter?
I have not gotten mine.
VP obtained? How about OC?
hssf
Anyone know of a wet market close by ; within walking distance ?
Hi hssf,
She got the key few days ago. You should call IJM to check for t as I believe most of the owners already got the keys. Good luck to you....Happy viewing...
I still haven't got the letter for key collection yet....:(:(
Did received the letter from legal regarding released the lum sum for VP processing.
Hope to get the letter next week from IJM.
Hello TM,
Who is your lawyer, i think your lawyer must be in holiday and not so professional. Not delivery their job on time. Please complaint.
Warner,
Probably i should call to IJM and ask when is my turn to take the key.
Jenny. Your statement is so religion-biased. You are saying that a mosque will de-value the surrounding property. Your thinking is so unacceptable. Maybe you have forgotten that you are residing in a muslim country.
It may be true that low cost units will affect sub-sale...but a mosque....i'm so damn pissed off with such statement.
just inspect my unit today, the only comment i can give...perfect! good service from the management staff on helping to point out some of the effect which we cant even see it. Thanks a lot!
Adil, dont bother those religion biased comment. As for myself, i dont think what is the problem with a mosque nearby our unit.
Went few times to visit my unit since getting the keys. Haven't really gone through thoroughly for the defects, but found only few dented tiles, room door cracks at the side of the lock, wall cracks a little only. All in all, the finishing is quite ok :) However, in terms of facility wise, there're some problems:
1. guard house - discard the fanciful guardhouse mindset, there's not even zinc roof or awning there. I purposely visited yesterday to try to scan in at the guardhouse (thought it's ok if it could be scanned from inside the car without winding down the window, but it couldn't) in the rainy day, I got it all wet :| I have complained to the management, and hopefully they'll put up at least zinc roof (for those who dislike fanciful).
2. There is NO SAUNA room as stated in the house rules :| I asked the management, but the management said there's NO SAUNA. I have even shown the management the house rules talking about the SAUNA usage, but the management said they can't do anything. We gotto enquire directly from IJM about this.
I couldn't find Summer Place's link in ijmland.com.my already (not sure why they removed, but The Spring is still there) May I know who's the right person to enquire this?
looking for an unit in sub-sale now..anyway, understood that type-C pool units are the most popular and first to snap out during launch, can anybody tells me what are their strong points over type-D?
Hi Jeff,
type-C pool units selling like hot cake as it is the nearest to type-A and just 30-50k higher than type-D and there's only 2 units each floor. Of course, pool view is the most demanding view among all.
A,
thanks for sharing.
Do your Brochure show Sauna??
please try the IJMland website under "track Record".
I have been waiting for a week but IJM yet to receive the final payment. I just called my lawyer and they said they have sent the letter out last week and the bank will take around 1 week to process, anyone from Ibrahim & Kim and apply for CIMB loan got the key already?
To those lucky ones who got their keys already ... please post some photos for all to appreciate .
Thanks .
Jeff, just to share after viewing all types.
Type C should be a good choice.
As compare over D
1) More spacious in Living Area and kitchen/foyer - extra 2 ft wider
2) Master bedroom n 3rd bedroom also wider by 1 ft
3) Price different only about +- 40k ( about extra 380 psf )
4) Limited units - ratio 1 : 3
5) All stand alone balcony - all type D facing outside view ( balcony joint with next unit )
6) Better demand / during launching
7) nearer to sea
As compare type B
1) Size are the same except type B got extra room
2) This extra room will cost about rm80k-100k
3) The demand will only best suite for those required 4 rooms unit
anyone clever enough to make a quick and rough estimate of the amount of units at summer place that is out for sale? so many listings but could be many repeats.
generally how many percent of the units would have changed hands say withing the next one year? 30%? 40%
over here in Kuala Lumpur some of the completed ijm projects continue to have high turn over in sales but lag in rental yield and yet is not occupied by buyers.
in one instance the property prices transacted were up 40 percent within obtaining keys. and continued to rise another 8 percent during the following year.
HOT units and HOT sales advertised as above is it referring to the unit very HOT as facing WEST?
Hi David,
Think sure face north east side as meantioned morning sun.....
Hi David,
Sorry. Thought you referred to Mr Goh's ad.
boring... almost everyday also see the sale ad here. forum become ad -_-|||
Mac, thx for sharing ur photo. Big unit.
Owner, any defect to share? Agree what A mentioned in item#a.
I just gotten my key & ran through the agreement that SP management gave upon collecting the keys, noticed that the facilities stated sauna but I don't see any sauna around??Anyone going over SP tomorrow can ask the management??Thanks
there are a lot of crack lines in the high units. i would say out of four rooms the lines are running across three rooms. i notice that they have taken some effort in pressure grouting. and are observing for leakages.
maybe as an RC structure it is too long and the allowed construction joints are not working well. i will post the photos if the administrator accepts them.
otherwise the defects are mainly minor and the finishing is rather good. tiles look ok, some rushed painting on the door so a little uneven and bare at times. lighting positions rushed and ceiling lights too near the wall. toilets generally ok, a little small.
i guess as an engineer i am not so frightened by cracks. they start freaking me out when i start seeing structural ones or when i can see through one. ha ha
one owner mentioned flimsy barrier at balcony. mine was ok. nice big balcony.
i have been there morning and evening and so far from the pool i don't smell sungai pinang. the unit i have is on a high floor facing penang bridge and the butterworth port. it is really nice. the wind though can be really strong, howling away.
while the roof was not locked i went up to look at the metal cladding and how the finishing is up there. looks tidy enough. hopefully the waterproofed the rc floor before putting on the brackets and metal cladding. then any water that comes from the side wind will not then be susceptable to ponding sufficient for the water to seep through the cracks.
as i was not able to see the cracks from the top of the slab i am assuming that they are one way slabs and so the crackline formed where it did.
all in all quite comfortable with the layout externally.
i have three car parks one the ground floor itself and they are side by side just in from of the management office. happy. i even got a tag for a motorbike park. cool.
expect to see settlement surrounding the piled structures within one year but it looks like the designer as made allowance for them... maybe one day they will enlighten us on how the are hanging the sewer pipes etc.
I just wanna reconfirm is the sauna facility stated in our S&P agreement?
i am wonder what is the rental could summer place be? anyone willing to rent his unit?
wah a lot ceiling cracks.....it doesn't seem to be hairline crack, and definately can't be covered by painting. Will IJM rectify this sort of crack defect? It is so obvious..
it does not say that sauna facilities are provided.
I double checked SnP, sauna wasn't there. Can someone check the hardcopy of the brochure to see whether it's there or not? I failed to get one from the office. However, the house rules have it. lol
Awning at the guardhouse is till an unsolved issue while rainy or sunny day. May I know the way to channel this to IJM?
Anyways, I still aware of the sands/cement banner there. If we're forced to buy expensive materials there, will IJM do something to help?
looking at the subsale prices, it would seem that summer place is being pushed to a somewhat middle-upper class kind of place.
irrational exuberance or value for money. looks like an IJM success story.
Looking at the design, build quality&material, landscaping, summerplace is somewhat a replica to bayswater. Except the guard-house can be improved, the security system, lifts, pool, gym, are very much similiar. From convenience and leisure perspective, bayswater out-gunned abit as having e-gate and tesco, however summerplace also have lot-28, future maritime square, and also my personal favarite the nice promenade. Summerplace is a leasehold that is the distinctive difference,but bayswater 1176sf furnished units and are asking >580k nowadays.
Summer Place condominium is overly priced. Do you think that this area will boom? Just look at Lot-28 occupancy rate.
i don't think its irrational exuberance or value for money, rather its pure greed...wannabe investors hoping to become instant "millionaires" and as for middle upper class kind of place..sure...the malaysian variety...no class or breeding ...just have "two cents" and want to show off...n oh don't forget...third world mentality n behaviour totally unsuited for condo living.
Hi just get my key and view my unit type C.
I'm quite happy with the workmanship.
But a bit disappointed the shower area and Kitchen. it is too small. the shower area just even smaller than the "First World" hotel shower room.
Guy, how about the Type B and D shower room and Kitchen?
AndrewPg and k, in the art of trade it is always the simple suppy v.s demand, what is there to do with greediness, 3rd world country (Malaysia is developing country, come on) or showing off? The owners can ask for whatever price they want but ultimately it is still depending on buyers to decide if that's the fair deal to accept. I have sources from agent friend that he is currently handling >20 subsale units and so far already closed 6 cases with average selling price >380psf, most of them were type-C. Time will tell whether the sales can continue to trend up. Anyway, he also revealed another information that he also handling >20units in platino at the same time but 0 deal closed to date. Maybe you should go and post at Platino blog that it is over-priced.
Last but not least, maybe both of you can recommend what are the better choices over Summer Place in Penang currently and the reasons behind, this could be more constructive.
AndrewPg and k, I suppose both of you see the potential in Summer Place, else you wouldnt have reacted so strongly to the positive comments in the blog. You should direct your anger at the speculators, who price you out from buying a unit, instead of running down the development. I'm looking forward to moving in and happy for the price appreciation, although it dont affect me since I'm not selling.
Ya William I am at your side as I am not selling too. We are ready for stay there happily enjoying....
stop it!! hot unit hot unit. what does that means. hot hot hot. if it is hot, why is it still unsold. over 100 units for you to choose? this bloody developer is so well known for speculators. Buyers choose wisely. many units still available from speculators. take your time and burnt their ass.
Totally agreed with you!
I heard The Latitude were sold closed to 70% (Block B). Blcok A expected to lauch during 2011 Chinese New year?
Andrew,
Lot 28 was bought by one bumi owner who is letting out the units like e-gate. He is choosing carefully the tenants and is not desperate to let it go. If someone can buy en-bloc from IJM, i think money is not their issue.
Hope this fact clears your clouded judgement.
Mac ,
Nice photos , nice place . Hope to have nice neighbours .
There should be 3 layer security . But , can anyone from downstairs walk up the stairs to any floor ? Or , someone from (lets say ) 3rd floor walk up the stairs to 7th floor easily ?
I have also checked on the S&P and hard copy brochure regarding the sauna facility and confirmed it's not stated. I guess the sauna facilty stated in the house rules are just their standard house rules copy which they use for other condos as well.
I went and collected my keys for my Tower 1 middle floor C9 unit today and I have to agree with you all who mentioned that C9 has the best view of all, no regrets choosing this unit. Only a few defects on workmanship found on my unit.
1) There is a part of my balcony railings(top part) unpainted and it was rusty.
2) Dry yard's corner tile has a crack.
3) Balcony and dry yard wall paint uneven.
4) Glue stains on all bedrooms window frames.
For those who has been following this thread since long time ago would know that I have been fighting for the shortcomings on our external condo wall paint(brown paint columns as per our hard copy brochure) with IJM. IJM's Wan Zahrah has given verbal promise that IJM will paint back the missing colors. I have already begin to doubt her words as nothing has been done still. But I am too tired to follow up with IJM anymore as I have spoken and also emailed to 4 different person more than 10 times, and the last was Wan Zahrah who was supposed to be the right person with authority in charge of this issue.
Our condo really looks no difference from our neighboring flat's white/beige colors and it also looks like a hospital! Probably they wanted it all white in order to blend in with the surrounding flats....
Today I have highlighted 4 issues to Mr. Chow, our management office person in charge.
1) The missing brown columns paint on our external condo wall.
2) The guardhouse issue.
3) The missing water tank roofs(wings design)
4) The missing water lilies on the water lily ponds.
The water lily ponds at the swimming pool entrance is suppose to be one of our 5 special features of Summer Place Condo. In our brochures, it's stated very clearly that we have 5 special features, they are Poolside Wi-fi facility, Community Halls, Viewing Deck, Contemporary Tropical Garden and Water Lily Pond at Swimming Pool Entrance.
The reason why I voiced out on the missing water lilies is because one of the management staff told me that the water lily pond is already completed without the water lilies. It will just be the ponds with stones in it and they won't put in any water lilies.
Mr Chow said all these are not within his control, all he can do is to help us to emailed to IJM regarding all these 4 issues and cc a copy of the email to me. I am not gonna put high hopes that he is even gonna email to IJM, but to all those who will be collecting their keys, please do your part and voice out on the shortcomings.
Thank you neighbours and have a pleasant evening.
Summer Place has:
A nice pool but no sauna??
Half sized basketball court!
While Spring has:
Nice big saunas, oversized basketball court
Lots of rooftop space, NO POOL but lots of ponds
My oh my, what on earth is IJM thinking during its planning for both these projects?? Using the lure of Bayswater to hype-up customer response but offering them only bits & pieces of facilities?
Longkang Gang,
yes, thanks for your effort. I understand this kind of complaint is not 2 days work. It's OK.
I will look at my side and see anything can voice up to IJM or not since I have not yet to collect my key. I need to take time to look into my SnP... only will voice up the thing which missing in our SnP. NO black and white, difficult to argue.
Smile,
Yes, I agree with you, it's very true that it's very hard for us to argue on all the 4 issues I have highlighted which is not stated in our S&P. Hopefully with their goodwill, they will make the changes based on our response and feedback.
Thanks Longkang Gang.
Yes, in IJM brochure, there should be water lily ponds.
And now the ponds are there but still without water lilies! What a joke :(
Although it has no legal binding, the brochure was an official promise IJM committed. Yet they failed to deliver them.
This should be seen as cheating if IJM has no conviction to deliver their promise.
some of these sellers are really hardworking, i like.
Good news! OC obtained!!!
I need help to clear my mind.
I brought my unit from sub-sale. And the vendor agreed to let me move in once the oc obtained.
My questions are:
1. should i apply to Tenaga and PBB for electricity and water? or the property management will do it for me?
2. if i want to carry out renovation now, what should i do?
thanks in advance.
Hi Vivian,
You mean today IJM let you know OC obtained? You bought cash from vendor?? Thanks.
hi jimmy,
my friend learned from ijm that oc has just been obtained. it's been confirmed.
did i pay cash? i don't want to disclose lah ..ha ... but it will need a few more weeks to settle everyting, i mean legally.
Hi Vivian,
Thanks for your info. Sorry about it as this is personal. The reason is I also bought from subsale recently. So let me ask whether I am allowed to move in too after OC obtained. Hope you can share the renovation details with us too.
Vivian,
Are sure OC obtained? I been to Summer Place at 6.05pm today. Guard not allow me to go in, due to VP situation only allow 8am- 6pm.
Vivian And Jimmy,
So happy to hear that your guy wanna move in once OC Obtain. If your guy looking for ID (interior Design), please contact me. My ID friend oleri agree to give me special price with good quality material renovation. he need to promote and advertise his company for the customer who move in first.
Contact my email below
suihon25@gmail.com
sadly though..i still couldnt get my keys..ibrahim kim sucks big time..they only proceed the letter this week..can't wait to move in once OC obtain..
I am interested at Typc-C pool&sea view > 10 floor, but seems the price already went above my expectation. Shall wait and see if the price gonna soften down after CNY..
Jeff,
The price is not gonna soften down, infact it's gonna shoot up again since OC has already obtained. I suggest if you wanna get type C, you better get it now as price appreciation is expected.
Do you think that the price would go up >450k after cny? This is already 400psf..Anyway, anybody has any comment on the units of tower 2 facing pool, would the afternoon sun be bad?
It has been a real bad design on the entrance of Summer Place by IJM and it look so so not grand at all if its to compare with Spring and now what, OC obtained? I expect them to be better or at least it would like the Spring but it is far from what i could have imagine of my dream house and I dont think we can do a shit thing bout it dy. It has been a real let down. I will definitely do my part by bringing up the matter to IJM when i collect my key next week. Huh.. Im a bit let down with IJM piece of shit.
Agree with you, Soulhealer. I mentioned before, but there're ppl think that a fanciful guardhosue is needn't for the securities staff to stay comfortably and prevent them from carrying the job properly (though what i meant is a proper guardhouse to increase the goodwill of the area). But at least, nice awning to prevent pouring rain at scanner and pedestrian walkway is a must. That is what I meant.
I have made a verbal complain to the management. Hopefully the management really channels what I said to IJM. Hope that everyone of us can cooperate and get what we should get, like what longkang gang is doing.
just went to view summer place today, mayb is due to low tide strong smell coming from the river beside tower 2. I can smell very strong longkang smell at Tower 2 18 floor. It will be bad if it is at lower floor.
Onw stay is OK. Not for rent. Nowadays, the tenents are very calculative and choosy. They just walk away if the rental is just merely RM100 higher than their target.
Worst still, the foreigners also know the trick.
Hello Everyone,
I know this is not Vista Gambier blog, but I am a very interested buyer of Vista Gambier. I was recently told that an expressway will be built in front of Vista Gambier. I am not sure whether this is true or not, that is why I am writing in this blog hoping someone can shed some light. Is this expressway, the PORR project? Any info will be most appreciated. This info is important for my decision about Vista Gambier - afterall, I can only afford one home and I want to be happy about buying it. Thanks. P.
yup i think it is all part of the penang outer ring road ... it includes a couple of acres of reclamation in front of gurney drive. PORR is a really old masterplan and most people do not even know if it is still part of the plan. many things were shelved during the 97 asian crisis, even the jelutong expressway was executed with initially much financial constraints. http://onthemove.penang.gov.my/image/porr_map.jpg
there have been plans for Light Rail Transit for penang ayer hitam george town but that was before the last general election.
May i knw is reading room,gymnasium,aerobic and games room under tower 3 missing??
and no fence surrounded the basketball court??
YY,
The reading room, indoor gymnasium, aerobic room and games room are located at the 2nd floor of tower 3. They are not missing. But currently only the gymnasium is fully complete while the other rooms are still empty. You can go and check it out, the facilties room labels are written on the glass doors.
YY,
You can also access these facilities rooms via the 2nd floor of tower 1 & 2 as they are linked. But you will need to use your security card to tap for entry. This is also the same floor which linked to your car park at 2nd floor, so you won't get wet during the rain if you wanna get to your car.
Reading,gymnasium,aerobic and games room are at 2nd floor of Tower 3 but just only gym room with equipments installed.
Thx for the information.
how about the basketball court??
If without fence, it will cause alot of problems...
Hi YY,
You are right. Maybe you can let the management knows about this too if you visit again? :) the Gym room at level 2 isn't well equipped yet. I saw only few treadmills are installed. Hopefully this is not finalized yet.
Thanks Maccy for responding. Thanks also for the map - I was trying very hard to get some graphical indicator about PORR. Is there a website of the whole planning and areas affected? I seem to draw a blank with my google searches. P.
Collected the key last week.
Cant believe what we have......... all the flooring do not come with skirting. What type of cost saving from a reputable IJM???
Hi, I want to get a Inverter Air-con.
Just don't know the build in air-con piping is Inverted ready?
Can we install Inverter air-con on the existing piping?
Did any of you read the Summer Place Condo House Rules?
The Sauna facility rules were stated clearly there. What does it mean? Is it Summer Place suppose with Sauna?
Can somebody find this out?
just went there at noon. Really... bad smell coming from the river. What can we do about this? close all window and switch on air cond for 24 hrs everyday?aiiii....
Hi Smile,
Will ionizer help? Need to try and see else it is non logical to turn on air cond for 24 hours. Sigh..........
Foul smell due to mud? Then you might consider buying more air freshener. :)
If Summer Place condo buyers can enjoy the aroma of the mud.... I can't image those who purchased the high class condos at The Light Waterfront!!!
that is not river... it's called drain... of course the smell is terribly bad..
The smell is stronger during the hot day. Because the heat from the sun is 'boiling' sungai pinang which is the source of bad smell.
As i said before, those facing river units (high floor units included) would be most affected depending on the wind direction.
The lower units, which are not facing the river, are also affected though lighter smell.
Those high-floor units in Tower 1 facing penang bridge is the best ones if one is sensitive to smell.
In other words, get a high-floor unit in Tower 1 facing penang bridge if you are sensitive to smell.
I understand that Summer Place's workmanship is much better as compared to The Spring. Then again both condo resides in between
1. Sungai Pinang (the most polluted river in Pg or maybe the world?) => http://eprints.usm.my/4907/1/Identification_Of_Pollution_Within_The_Sungai_Pinang_River_Basin.pdf
2. Huge Rubbish dumping area (Becoming a hill now)
My property property agents shared that Breeza (Tg Tokong) and Summer Place are the most traded property in the past few months.
Victor,
Unit in Tower 1 facing penang bridge is hot when come to afternoon/evening.
Hi Jimmy,
not sure ionizer would hlp or not. Need to spend more for this thg in long term... eco?
Hi Smile,
If ionizer can help, definitely good for us as nowadays most people are using it to purify the air too. The long term solution is definitely cleaning process that has been carried out by Government recently. (recalled someone talking about this in this forum).
throw more enzime ball into the river, ionizer couldnt help for next generation
Agree with Chia, we should take some effort to help the river and throwing mud ball is definately a good start.
"We human polluted the river and now we as a human complain the river smelly" Haiz......
hmm dun smell anything, may coz my unit on tower 2 is high and facing pool
pgites..
it's true..i went to get my key this morning and i spent my time there till 1pm..no smell watsoever..my unit tower 2 facing pool..
I been to the site quite often ever since the construction of SP started. Yes, there is smell during certain timing, at certain location, not really consistent. Sometimes it is coming directly from the shoreline, somewhat fishy and salty but definitely not stinky as I would comment, standard sea-breeze smell from beaches everywhere. Another smell is coming from sg pinang, appears during hot and stuffy day, but trust me it is not that bad. I have been jogging along that stretch of promenade, just a hint of muddy smell, I am sure you wouldn't need a ionizer whtsoever. Anyway guys, see the sg pinang with your own eyes now, it is no longer the 7 most polluted river in malaysia, it is now class III from the initial of class V. Base on definition "Water under this classification may be used for water supply with extensive/advanced treatment. This class of water is also defined to suit livestoick drinking needs".
thanks hafiz and summer, i tot for a moment my nose got prob as I been there many times on diff hours...
OC obtained. Thanks state gov 4 efficiency.
I will have the key on Friday...will spend sometimes there to look around too.
Agreed with those that we can do some mud ball to clean the river.
The smell will be there sometimes depends on weather too. :) :)
yeyy! can't wait to see the views at night, especially the compound with lights
Yeah, thanks for all the valuable sharings on the smell. Just hope the SG pinang class III will be class I eventually.
Low tide = smell of mud. Hot weather and certain time of the day = smell of the Sg. Pinang. The river condition will take time to improve. Maybe the Summer Place resident can organize a mud ball activity to improve the condition as well as foster 1Malaysia spirit. :)
At night enjoying the lights of the compound? I thought should be the view of B’worth! Then again there is not much to see at night. :)
Yes, I think for the good of every one. We should organize mud ball making and throwing activity as part of Summer Place resident get together activity. May be we can get IJM to sponsor the activity as part of their coporate service to community.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnHQ56wYHf8&feature=related
Can any on here share how to make the EM mud ball?
just got the oc.....yeay!!
Hi Smile,
For waterfront units facing Southeast like Summer Place, morning sun means hot. Because there are two sources of heat in the morning till noon: one from the sun, another one from the reflection of the sun by the sea.
Therefore those units heated up by (indirect) afternoon sun may not be as hot as the units having morning sun.
put up heat block curtain could be the solution...
Cant wait to renovate the place and move in soon. Anyway for those who are still looking for contractors, I have two to recommend:
1) Steve (0124431885). General renovation works including floor tiles, windows grill, wiring, eletrical fitting (lights,fans,heater etc), painting.
2) Lai (0124231379). Kitchen cabinet, built-in wardrobe.
I have engaged their service before, both are friendly and provide good follow up. Most importantly work quality is good and price reasonable. You can qoute my name if do call them, recommended by Mr.Tan from tower 2, 18th floor.
Hi Summer,
Thanks for your recommendation. Will consider to engage their service once renovation is ready. Nice to be your neighbour soon as my unit is tower 2 18th floor too.
@ndrewPg,
Mud ball making step is not difficult. Just mix up mud powder with enzyme but take time. Can contact PSDC for details procedure.
Thanks Summer! I presume they are not the "gangster reno"? Will there be any issue?
Future citizens of SP,
Do purchase less metal-based furnitures as you are living by the sea. :)
Summer, thanks! I really looking for contractor.
Thanks @ndrewPg for remind.
Thanks Victor for your advice.
Bad News, heard that the gangster contractors are shifting their base currently in Spring, to Summerplace. To share a bit on the basis of thier business, these people are,technically speaking, responsible/volunteer themselve in waste disposal. However in actualy what they will do is to setup a conhtainer in front of the building, and start to screen/pestering the contractors. For owners who did not "contribute" to them, their contractors would get hardtime by those gangsters. Also you will have to purchase cement or sands from them in the much higher price. They usually do not mess around with bumi, so its a typical chinese buly chinese case.
Normally nothing can be done against them, police/IJM/security guards will choose to close one eye, and they will roam freely n the building. This is not the day one problem but unique embedded culture on penang soil. Shameful but helpless.
Anyway, if they do really coming over, we as a residents will need to decide whatever actions to be taken, but we must all be united together.
Hi Summer & Jimmy
Glad to be ur neighbour too, tower 2 18th floor :)
According to my contractor, no gangster contractor in summer place...
Internally IJM will not engage those so called inhouse gangster contractor. However, those coming by themselve, un-invited, are the biggest threat. I think there will be as i also heard about the news as what Summer has mentioned. This is already the culture here in penang, and it is the standard practice by the local "tai Ko" to make some pocket money. Unless someone such as developer or authority willing to negotiate and come to term with them, or else i am afraid that we may have to see ther ugly face very soon.
As I heard from my friend from BayStar, his place had gangster contractor before. They voiced out to the developer, and the developer settled for them. They can choose their contractor freely, or engage with them (and he has heard that their workmanship is surprisingly good)
First thing first as of now is to identify whether there is any, and if there really is, can we write in to the developer to help us to settle?
Hi Gim & Summer,
Glad to be your neighbour too.
We should unite together to fight against these gangster contractor. If any encountered them, please share with us how they approached and confronted you. Thanks to all for cooperation and voice out to IJM.
买贵租廉●屋租房价如龟兔赛跑 槟岛房租10年不涨
二零一一年一月二十三日 凌晨十二时二十七分
（槟城22日讯）槟岛房价以火箭速度年年攀升，一间700方尺大小的公寓单位动辄超过20万令吉，不过槟岛的房租价格与屋价相比，则如同“龟兔赛跑”，十年如一日未涨价，地产领域专家认为过多公寓林立是导致房租价无法涨的主因。
据了解，槟城大部分地段的组屋或公寓房租价格，在过去10年来保持相同的平均水平，即使该房子的市场价格已比之前高了许多，房租却依然不见起色。
据租房人士表示，槟城房租大概有10年未涨价了，目前靠近市中心的一间700方尺大小、一厅三房的组屋月租行情介于500-700令吉，这与10年前的租价一样，有些屋主甚至会主动降低房租，避免租客走人。
另外，位于市中心外围的地段与上述房子类似的月租为450令吉左右，若3人合住加上水电费每人一个月就180令吉左右，这价格在吉隆坡只能与人合租一间房而已。
目前，一间单人房的租金约为150令吉，价格同样也是多年未涨。
屋多租客少价不攀升
房地产专家向《光华日报》指出，槟城房租价格无法涨升的原因，主要是因为有越来越多的组屋及公寓建起，加强了市场竞争，在屋多租客少的市场趋势下，价格自然就不会攀升了。
成房奴经济被绑死
同时，爱投资的槟城人买了房子不居住转手租出去，使到市场呈现僧多粥少的情况，原本想靠投资来缴付贷款的计划无法完美实现，一不小心投资者就成了另类房奴，本身经济状况将被绑死。
不敢抬高怕吓走租客
房产领域专家表示，从外地来工作或求学的游子一般缺乏交通工具，因此须寻找靠近工作地点或学校附近的房子，而这种情形在地方大、出入不方便的吉隆坡，是导致房租维持在高水平的因素。
反观槟城因地方小且集中，即使交通不方便的游子不会受工作或学校地点局限，较易找到居住地点，这让屋主无法仗着地点优势抬高价格。
另外，来槟工作的“外地人”一般来自吉打、霹雳或威省，当地房价本来比槟城要低许多，租金也便宜，因此屋主也不敢把房租定得太高怕吓走租客，有些屋主还以“优惠”的方式包付水费来吸引租客。
至于包家具与否也会在一定程度上导致租金不同，一般包含家具如沙发、冷气机及冰箱，房租会调高100令吉至150令吉左右。
由于冷气机及冰箱都很费电，租客一般都被要求自付电费。
Today I happened to drop by SP, I saw some india guys wear clothes and swimming in the swimming pool, are those guide blind?
warner...today also i saw few guys wearing clothes..but 1 thing i hope people can understand is for a muslim girl,they cannot avoid not to wear shirts..hope people can understand this cos even in 5 star hotel pool also they allow this..
Muslim girl do have their swim suit. This is about swim suit or t-shirt and pants.
I took some photos, if i post on the website, I don;t think those agent can sell good price for SP. Its sooooo disgusting.
Ya, good observation. We got to prevent this from happening in future to maintain the standard of SP. We got to raise this issue to management.
ya i was there too yesterday and honestly, it was disgusting to see ppl in t-shirts and pants swimming in the pool (water clean to swim already??). we do hv lycra for more modest wears. i tot at first were the cleaners. Well perhaps coz now it is not regulated yet (no residents) like the promenade last time dirty with ppl and children cycling sharing with many motorbikes.. so hopefull ppl will wear proper attire when SP starts to be occupied..
The swimming attire matters is not a big issue la. It happens everywhere in malaysia. We can make this as our agenda during our JMB meeting, impose strict regulation on the attire for all swimming pool users. With due respect, i think there should be no excuse for the muslim guys. Maybe for the muslim girls, we can invite those muslim committee members to share their opinion before any implementation. Or we can have a standard and decent attire for all muslim girl to wear when they use the pool. Im sure all owners also want to upgrade the living standard for summer place. Maybe mohd hafiz can help .
Previously i saw some comment about SP scan in card system, where we have to open the window scan in instead of scan through window. I'm currently staying in 200K apartment (not even condo) , our scan in system is much more advance than SP, how come ? Is the scan in machine try to match the lousy design guide house? Is there anything we can do.... so that raining day we do not have to open the window????
Yes, we got to a strong and cooperative management to handle whatever issues we have.
Yes..for Muslim guys should not be any excuses..for Muslim girls..normally they wear swimsuit as inner wear and wear t-shirt and short pants..but i can see few very religious family that are very strict..if I'm not mistaken..i saw few Indian Muslim as well, same floor as me..and one of the family brought the children and relatives..and their kids happily swimming in the adult area pool..they are just like 8-10 years old..and i think their uncle swimming with long pants and t-shirt..it's not that disrespect them..but me myself as Malay,feel disappointing with their mentality..best is, once people start to move in..we can have meeting to solve remaining issues as well..
Hi 2e-Was,
Open the window to scan actually is good for security purpose. Not all car window is transparent glass, without open the window, the CCTV not able to capture the face of driver.
I think what we should request is a roof build on scanning area.
Dear Penang Lang,
hmmm good idea.. never thought of that... this might help in security...
Mohd Hafiz / SP Owner,
About the swimming pool attire issue, this is exactly what happened in swimming pool at Ocean View as well, just behind Summer Place.
Those involve also Indian Muslims who stayed in the apartment. Few ppls tried to persuade them not to avoid wearing pants and shirt in the pool for hygiene factor, but the group reluctant to listen, end up with argument, the group even threathen to report to Jabatan Agama Negeri and a prominent local Malay political party at that time.
Since then no one dare to raise complaint again, since it is getting very sensitive when it touching on religious issue.
Yes, we must be sensitive and respect any matter that related to religion but please don't mix swimming pool hygiene with religion practice as this is totally two seperated items. I am not racist and have multi racial friends.
There is widely available swimming suit for muslim women at the supermarket. I believe IJM management is experience enough to put up signboard for swimming attire guide line. I would appreciate our muslim resident friend advise.
yes i agree..for my family..no problem..m talking here on behalf of our muslim neighbours..i'll try my best to talk n explain to them..hopefully they can understand..
Hi all,
That's great that we have bunch of people here who care about our living environment :)
There're issues that can be handled purely by the management, like the swimming suites stuffs, but I think we should focus on those that we need the developer to react immediately:
1. Guardhouse Awning/Roof to prevent rain
2. Water Lily Pond
3. Brown color columns painting
4. Water tank wings
Else, i guess it'll be forgotten and we're being taken for granted.
I've voiced out to the management, yet, no reply from them. Do you guys think that by creating a petition, and let's sign on together, will it help?
p.s.
1. May we add in the sauna issue since the house rule has it?
2. Can someone draft a copy (my command of English isn't that good) and I can do the submission?
3. After getting the letter, the desired residents who agree on what the letter is drafted can send me their unit number, and it'll be listed down to show IJM how keen we wanna solve the problem.
4. I shall CC the management team, and ask them to get back to us asap.
Thanks for the initiative AK Lim, my english also not that impressive else i would volunteer. Anyway to add on the issues currently:
1) Guard-house. Yes, we need a roof at least
2) Water Lily Pond. Yes, agree.
3) Brown colour stripe. Yes, it is missing.
4) Water Tank wings. I can see them from my units, they are there but a miniature version. The size doesn't match to what we see in the brochure.
5) There is no side-skirting tiles in the unit. I am not sure if this is normal, the Spring has it? is this a standard requirement for medium high cost condo like SP? But one thing I am sure sure is that the lower part of wall can easily get dirty and damage if no side skirting.
Thanks to AK Lim and Summer.
I would, however, suggest we separate the 4 requests into two sets of requests.
First, we shall focus on the three items that we all can unite, which are:
1) Guard-house.
2) Water Lily Pond.
3) Water Tank wings.
And the request for brown color stripe should be separated from the rest. Because reading through the forum, there were some residents who were happy about the existing color.
If we put the 4 requests together we will first be divided about the color. And the developer will take advantage of our division not to do the other 3 requests which I believe all of us would agree.
So write a different letter for the color stripe. Another ones for the other 3 requests.
Ya, victor. i agree with your idea, maybe you can suggest our next course of action, i shall participate to help upgrade summer place into a nicer place to live in.
Took some relatives and friends to show off my 1107sf unit at tower 2 last weekend, they really love the location, the luxury super big lapse pool, 2 gyms, the excellent pool + bridge view, and also the landscape. I cant be agree'ing more to them, as I have been looking for places to stay for quite sometimes along jelutong highway in this price range, and this is the best so far and definitely no regret with the decision to purchase. Gold Coast was my first choice then but building looks a bit old now. Putra place 2nd choice but don't like the view, built up and design. bayswater ad Platino totally out of my budget. Also don't like the neighbourhood and surrounding of Symphony Park, Serena bay, halaman krystal, and ocean view.
Feel pround to own one unit here, and hopefully we can quickly address and resolve some the issues brought up, and also the people can follow house rules when using car parks, pools and gym later on. Please don't ruin this beautiful place.
1. Can we request the management to hang a mirror on the car park pillar to reflect the incoming car? I found it dangerous when I tried to make a turn to the next level. Well, we have only 4 levels, so it wouldn't be costly for the management.
2. I have some connections with state ruling party. If the gangster contractor do exist, turn on your cell phone video camera and record it down, especially when they threatening you. YBs always enjoy themselves in holding a press conference, and I always believe that political pressure is much more effective than other means. Need all SP buyers cooperation in gathering such proofs and let us "Goreng" it. I not mean to bypass the IJM management but if they intend to get rid of this gangster contractor, they should act before we do.
United we stand :)
About the water wings - ask the fung shui experts if the lower v of the wings cutting into the block can be negative to the block .
Thanks Mohd Hafiz for your understanding and help.
Today I had complain to the management office about the touch n go area without roof and it will be problem during raining time. They reply that they are looking into that problem.
Hope you guys can complain to them incase drop by the management office. More ppl complain more effective.
yap agree with more people complaint more effective.
I had complaint all 3 issues as mentioned to management during my visit to my unit.
Together we make it happen and make SP a best place for living..
16 days has passed and I still don't see any cc copy of email from Mr Chow(SP management head) to IJM. I am going over to SP this afternoon to confront him again as he has promised me to write in to IJM regarding the 4 issues(guard house, brown column paints, lily pond and water tank wings) I brought up.
By the way, I just got back from Parkson last night and I agree with Leo, there are so many very nice varieties of muslim swimsuits for muslim ladies. Arena brand in particular.
Hi,
The game room was empty when i was there few days ago.
Have they put in anything to the game room?
At least they should put some pipong tables by now, I think.
Does anyone how to use the security panel?
I saw there have 2 show units in Tower 1 before. May I know are they available for viewing?
Or some1 can share the interior design of that 2 show units in that new created summer place FB?
Thanks.
Smile,
I heard that the show unit has been sold. So i guess it's not available for viewing.
I also interested to see how is the interior design of that show unit. Any idea how big is the show unit? 1109sqft or 1012sqft?
How is the subsale market? Hot, tepid or lacklustre?
Hi,
I just called up my banker from Hong Leong. He said IJM only paid the interest till 22nd of Dec, and we're not informed about that. So the late charges and the interest occurred are charged to my account. And by 1st Feb, I need to start paying the installment. Did someone aware about that?
Regarding the touch-and-go issue at the guardhouse, some ppl suggest building a roof to solve the raining issue. I think the best way to solve this issue is to just change the touch-and-go system to scan-and-go system. It will be more sensitive in detecting our cards.
AK Lim,
Yes, I think I have the same problem with Maybank as I am being charged interest for progressive release. This is confusing buyer, IJM should have at least inform us that they are stop paying the interest starting from which day onward.
Haiz.....
Hi Summer Tea,
If not mistaken, the show unit is 1414sqft & 1109sqft.
Hi AK Lim,
Yes, I received and already paid. What to do?
Hi Smile and Leo,
Hong Leong Bank told me that they're still working on it. Because IJM has to inform us and has to settle the full for that month =.="
SP,
I went to the SP this afternoon, Management already planed build the roof for the touch-and-go.
For the security purpose, touch-and-go is better then the scan-and-go. becos need to open door/window to scan. this can make sure the CCTV can verify the ppl.
Agreed to the article about rental market.
I just renewed the contract with my tenant. Instead of getting higher rental, the tenant (foreigner) asked for lower rental.
To save the hassle, I just gave in.
Just visited Summer... Saw a contractor container outside Summer with banner... is this the same gangster contractor that we are talking abt??? What should we do?? Seems like it jus set up there.. we better act fast before they do something on us...
ITS SEEM LIKE GANSTER CONTRACTOR WORKING FULLFORCE CHECKING AND STOPING ALL THE CONTRACTOR LORRY AND ASKING A LOT OF QUESTION.
ITS SEEM THE GUARD SUDAH KENA BELI AND HIRED BY THIS GANSTER CONTRACTOR.
WHO GIVE THE AUTHORITY TO PARK THEIR CONTAINER OUTSIDE .
NEED TO HIGHLIGHT TO SPRM AND RELEVANCE BODY TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST THIS GANSTER CONTRACTOR.
HOPE IJM STAFF ALSO NOT KENA BELI.
I went last saturday to summer place . saw 4 sea gulls flying and calling out . Then 2 eagles appeared . The sea gulls quickly went away . We are going to like this place :)
If IJM staff is scare and not taking action on this matter. we can call up the police to highlight this issue...can someone find out the right telephone number to report this issue...then each every owner here please call up . United is strenght...i believe if 10% of us were to call...the police will have no choice but to take action..... kindly do our part as a concern residence here. i have heard that they alraedy started to charge fees to the contractor...
yape. obviously there are gangster contractors with their container just outside summer place.
what can we do? I can think of:
1. Make a complaint to MPPP because they illegally put a container beside a road. Here is the url to complain:
http://aduan.mppp.gov.my/complaint_eng.html
2. Make a complaint to the police. The police station responsible for this area is the one at Jalan Patani. The phone number of the police station is: 04-2181884
3. Engage politicians. Get Jeff Ooi involve because this is 'his area'. His contact info:
Pusat Perkhidmatan DAP Jelutong at 88-1-1,1st Floor,Sri Wonder Complex,Lintang Sungai Pinang,10150 Pulau Pinang. Tel:04-2816308 Fax:04-2838812 Email:dap.jelutong@jeffooi.com
Make sure everyone make a complaint to the above 3 parties, then we may be free of gangsterism in Penang!
Victor,
Have you taken action yourself? Too many persons like you, always persuade, urge, demand others to do this do that, but usually the one who post the message like you will never take action yourself in the end.
Too much talking but no action. Better still instigate others but self just sit at home, watching the show from outside and see who take action first. During The Spring obatined OC that time, also got few heros like you shouting very loud in the forum, complaint this, complaint that, claimed want to report police, threathen MCA Minister, CM, Adun and etc... Urging fellow residents to United, blah..blah..blah..
But what happened in the end? Your guess is as good as mine.
Hi SP guys.
Income Tax is around the corner. anyone can advise Summer place entitle for the tax exemption for the 2009/2010 interest?
IJM paid for the interest, can we claim that?
"Interest expended to finance purchase of residential property. Relief of up to RM10,000 a year for three consecutive years from the first year the interest is paid. "
Hi Property298,
I believe if they can "buy" the guard, they can buy the police as well.
Hi Gerald,
In that case what do you suggest we owner can do?
Although the container is outside the SP compound but i believe the area still under IJM monitoring right? Can't the developer do something about it?
Yesterday my designer have to park her car outside because the guard do not allow her to go in, and she kena saman .. not from MPPP but from traffic police. So meaning all our wireman, plumber will have to pay for the saman as well?
gerald,
There are people like you that make gangsterism so rampant in penang.
Or are you one of the gangsters, agitating me so that i would reveal my real identity? forget about it, i am just a coward:)
Victor is not my real identity. what do i get even if i am seen as a hero? And, giving info and urging people to right the wrong can become a hero? what kind of world is this? so easy to become a hero meh? a hero would confront the gangsters directly. I am not the one:)
For those who read this forum:
I have made complaints to the parties I suggested. MPPP provided me with a reference number (No Rujukan Aduan: 1xxx/02/11).
Let's do the 'cowordly ways', making complaints to the relevent parties, instead of confronting the gangsters directly. Let gerald be a hero by barking at us:)
I will go in today and check out the situation. If their business basis is as what i have commented on 21Jan, my kind of renovation works will be greatly affected...
Pity those ppl need to pay high tax, bank loan and also gangster fees.
Does Malaysian really earn lots of money to distribute ???
Did MPPP approve the contractor to build the small warehouse in front of Summer Place?
Corruption????
" Malaysia as Second Home" for foreign? Bullshit come here and let gangster bully?
Bunch of crap..
Can owner start use the facility right now?? I just curious about
Sure, as you already started to pay maintenance fee after you got the key....
All the talk about the gangster contractors ; I am curious , anyone personally threatened by them ? If got , then he can report to the police .
