I was myself around Desa Coalfields area yesterday. Was trying out the old road from Kapar to Sg Buloh via Puncak Alam....

Surrounding of Desa Coalfields does looks rather bland...very secluded kinda environment BUT of course a few down the road it'll improve...

We debated this in the BSC thread. Got comments from DC residents there.

I stay near the area. Go there every week to check on the progress of my "house" in BSC. (Tiang also not up yet)
So far smell nothing.

Anyway, this one RRIM thread. Let's not hijack. I like this part of outer KV, so watching RRIM redevelopment keenly.

That's true....lets stick to the thread's title.

Yesterday took a drive along the RRIM Road (pretty much still jungle) till Cahaya SPK then continued till Kg Budiman exited at Jalan Paip and came out at Meru Town. Continued driving till Bukit Kapar and then used Jalan Iskandar/Jalan Meru Tambahan to enter Puncak Alam and the finally exited at Desa Coalfields before heading back to Sg Buloh area.

Why I did that? Just for the fun of it and to see what road options we have around Sg Buloh after the RRIM project kicks in....

You on wrong road lah taiko. That sounds like the Batu Arang Road leading to Puncak Alam.

RRIM entrance is on the Sg Buloh Rd. That area quite well developed.
No more jungle, just many acres of rubber trees waiting for their last days.

Short distance to Subang airport and Kota Damansara.
Immediately before RRIM is Mah Sing's up and coming Star Avenue shopping center.

Dude I know that....

I just took a stroll drive around the whole RRIM project to the know what is happening and also the road options that there is once the project materializes.

Agreed, actually i really like the Latar highway scenery connect to PLUS but the faint smell, plus the not so good fengshui at exit to Latar plus have topass so many small kampung road turned me off especaiily at night...but i defunitely think Sg Buloh has far better potential

MRT stations coming up around Sg. Buluh area: 1. Sg Buluh/KTM Stn. 2. Kg. Baru Sg. Buluh Stn. 3. Kota Damansara Stn (along Sg. Buluh to Batu Tiga road.) 4. Tmn. Industri Sg. Buluh Stn. 5. PJU 5 Stn (not sure about the distance from Jalan Sungai Buluh) and on to Dataran Sunway, the Curve and onwards. The first four stations are close to RRIM. The RRIM land which is about 3000 acres in area is a goldmine destined to be a new growth centre of Greater KL. The population within 10-15km radius of the present RRIM would be well served once the proposed development of the RRIM land and beyond is up and running. Could be better than Subang Jaya. Just my 2 sen.

Agreed...its just a matter of time...

Hope this wont b like bkt beruntung or proton city, when announce big promising n hu ha everywhere...
But I beleive EPF are filled with smart people, so can trust them.

I definitely agree SG Buloh going to be big in the future, coz unlike Bukit BEruntung, Rawang and Proton City, it is just beside Damansara, u dont have to go so far to reach the area...Bukit Beruntung Is actually a very nice name and good potential but screwed up by people sitting in the gomen

Any news on the RRIM development? Patiently waiting for it.... If it's too late maybe i need to check some other places as well.. What'sthe price range for the 2-storey terrace going to be?

why do you have to blame people all the time but not urself? It was never certain the KLIA was going to be in Bukit Beruntung. Investors took the risk. No deal has been sealed. So, this is what you get for gambling.

Make decisions based on homework. not hearsay. not marketing people.

Bro, i did not blame anyone, just stating the facts...wasnt that what happened?? And i never said that teh buyers were conned, as u said, every gamble has its risk, but im sure u know our gomen flip flop actions...A goemn that flip flops could cost us big time, didnt u read the news about the recent foreigners registration asking businessman to purchase expensive machines than suddenly the gomen chg their say going to befree etc...thats the generql story if im not wrong...

Sometimes its not the rakyats fault, look at the shares sold to the indian community

And we all thought gomen issued bonds or shares etc are the safest...

In this case, everybody studied and make decisions on homework, was well informed...and this was the gomen, not marketing people..

Now tell me, is that blaming everyone else??

yes, ur blaming everyone else.

It's been quiet here lately. Thought of contributing some updates on this project. Looks like it will take a while for those waiting...

EPF finalises RRI land buy for RM2.28b

PETALING JAYA (Aug 27, 2012): Kwasa Land Sdn Bhd, a unit of the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) set up to manage the pension fund's multi-billion property development investments in the country, has finalised the purchase price for 943ha of prime Rubber Research Institute (RRI) land in Sungai Buloh, Selangor at RM2.28 billion.

In a statement today, Kwasa Land said the development planning of the proposed Kwasa Damansara township development is at an advanced stage, with construction expected to begin next year and take 15 years. The proposed township will comprise residential, commercial, recreational and educational facilities.

"The master plan is being finalised for submission to the Selangor State Planning Committee for approval," it added.

The land will be divided into parcels, developed in phases, and sold to developers according to plot ratios, development components and in conformance with the urban design guidelines by Kwasa Land.

"This new Kwasa Damansara township development will incorporate plans that are befitting of a city replete with infrastructure and modern facilities, both residential and commercial that aim to serve the entire Damansara region, if not the Klang Valley," said Kwasa Land chairman Tan Sri Samsudin Osman.

"We will soon be calling for the pre-qualification of developers to participate in the creation and building of the iconic township.

"We are looking for experienced property developers with strong track record and who have successfully completed developments with a high gross development value for the past two to three years," he said, adding that a key aspect in the evaluation process is the design concept plan which will be evaluated prior to the tender price.

Samsudin added that the proposed Kwasa Damansara township is expected to create abundant opportunities for developers and contractors to participate in developing residential and commercial properties, main infrastructure and public amenities for an expected population of 150,000.

It will also incorporate an integrated transportation system that includes the mass rapid transit to the rest of the Klang Valley. A 7.5km green park of 65ha will also be among the highlights of the new development.

As the master developer, Kwasa Land is responsible for obtaining all the necessary approvals for the master layout plan and for the construction of the main infrastructure.
