i been through this site nearby a few times. to those who said there is no smell, probably you are lucky enough not to be facing an oncoming wind. the oxidation pond smell definitely will reach this location as i have smelt it before the few times i have passed by not inside the comforts of my car but on foot. the smell is.. terrible. and this smell is strongest when there is heavy winds or come night time after 9pm.

actually, for the people who mention about will they go to that place to shop? yes, it's possible because in door wise everything is air conditioned, so no worries there. BUT you think the parking will be air-conditioned ah? once you step foot from your car, you have to risk the chance of the possibilities of smelling something foul. and that my friends, is a big no-no for me. i for sure will not want to purposely go drive to this area and risk the chance of having to smell something putrid every now and then. i'd rather put in a few more distance to go for mid valley instead.

how about the residents of future said SOHO? when you walk around from one block to another or through the gardens or go for swim, etc etc., you want to buy a property to stay where you will risk the chance every now and then to smell something awful? maybe you won't smell it non-stop that kind but even smelling something bad minutes within an hour for X amount of hours for X amount of days is a big turnoff in the long run. sooner or later, you'll still move out eventually.

for those who bought for investment flipping, maybe you'll be lucky enough to offload to people who didn't do their research or who are buying for investment purposes. for those who bought for stay, i say good luck to you and would want to know your endurance of holding your breath for how long and how often for those who bought to rent out, i also say good luck to you trying to maintain renters in the long run. scott soho is a pretty risky buy in my books. i'm not saying 100% fail mind you, just more riskier than i am comfortable with.

cybermaster98: ur insider is it jackson ah? anyways, he and another insider i use also confirmed what you mentioned. currently there is a stalemate in discussions. tesco at this point in time is NOT confirmed to be moving in. it can change in the future but anything is possible. hope bro and gals investors here didn't buy solely on the assumption of tesco moving in, otherwise..
