Let me just ask you a few questions.
Originally, there are lots of other squatters in that area, what happen to the rest of the squatters in that area? Where have all of them moved? Why aren's the squatters protesting against the people of Taman Kanagapura who objected their block E to be built? Why aren't they accepting the alternative offers by both the government and the developers? What do they actually want? How much compensation do they actually want? Who is going to compensate the 1120 condo owners if the project is abandoned?

Added on June 16, 2011, 11:13 amI've written this e-mail to Free Malaysia today and got a reply from their editor K Kabilan that they will send a reporter to cover tomorrows gathering.

With reference to your recent article “Developer yet to receive show-cause letter” by G Vinod of June 14 and various earlier articles on this matter. As a respected online news portal, I sincerely hope that Free Malaysia Today [“FMT”] will present a fair and accountable report on this matter. There’s always two side of the story and did FMT make any attempt to contact the developers and hear their side of the story before painting them as villains. Please refer to the recent announcement from the developer. You may access the announcement from the following website:-

http://www.1120parkavenue.com/timeline/timeline.html

I do not want to point this out but I find FMT have been overly sympathetic to the squatters and have sensationalized the issue. I really hope that I am wrong on this matter and FMT should prove that I am wrong by publishing another article about this matter after doing a detail investigation and verify the developer’s claims. If what is announced by the developers is the truth, please be fair to the developer as they have rights as well.

Please note that I am an interested party in this matter because I am a buyer of the condo project and my views might consider as bias from certain parties. What I want to state is FMT should also consider the rights of the condo buyers who are currently in a limbo because of the stop work order and any further delays could jeopardize the
developer’s ability to finish the condo project. Will FMT or the Selangor government compensate the condo buyers if the project is unfinished or delayed? Please note that the squatters are not victim here but the 1,120 condo owners who are not rich people as well. There will be a gathering of the condo owners tomorrow at 10.00 a.m. at the
developers office to discuss our options and to voice our displeasure on the way the Selangor government and the media in handling this matter. I sincerely hope that FMT will send some reporters to cover this gathering.

There should be a neutral 3rd party to mediate between the state gov, developer and the squatters. Actually, if what is written on peter's website is true, I think they have done more than enough to help the squatters. All their offer is rejected by the squatters. Demolishing the squatters house is the last resort and they got the court order for it so its totally legal. The problem is the state government got panicky because certain parties are exploiting this issue.

I thought its tomorrow Fri and not Sat? I already planned "sakit" tomorrow!

I called Peters as well yesterday and the say it will prob be lifted next week but they are waiting for confirmation from the Sgor government. Peters told me to check with them this Thu evening or Fri

I am staying at Sri Manja Court for more than 15 years and bought a unit at 1120 too. So this is my honest opinion and some tips about staying in this area.

I have worked in KL City Centre and Damansara before. The tip is you must know when to leave. If you leave your home between 7.15 to 7.45 a.m. and use Jalan Gasing to go to PJ or KL City Centre, the jam is not too bad. Yes, the new road leading to/from Puchong have greatly increase the traffic flow but I still feel the jam is still quite tolerable. If its weekend, no jam at all to go anywhere. The best thing is you do not have to pay toll to go anywhere. The only toll you need to pay is if you want to go to Sunway but you can avoid this as well by using Kg. Datuk Harun. However, if you use Kg. Datuk Harun, be prepared for heavier jams. For me, I pay the RM1 toll everyday to go to work. Lucky me, my office now is just 10 to 15 minutes drive only. If you are going to KL, you got another option which is go to KL through Old Klang Road. If you use Old Klang Road, go through Tmn Sri Sentosa. Old Klang Road is not too jam anymore in the morning but I find using Jalan Gasing and Federal Highway saves me around 5 to 10 minutes. As for coming home, jam is quite unavoidable. The major bottleneck area is the Jalan Gasing roundabout. My advise is always come from Assunta Hospital side if it’s between 5.00 to 7.00 p.m. because police will be manning the roundabout and they tends to let the traffic coming from Assunta Hospital side move faster. If it’s after 7.00, try to come from PJ Old Town side. If possible, avoid coming from Jalan Gasing. Try avoid using Old Klang Road after work because the jam is usually quite bad.

Other time that might be jammed at the Jalan Gasing roundabout is Saturday afternoon around 12.00 noon to 2.00 p.m. especially it’s a replacement school day. If it’s Sunday morning, don’t use Jalan Gasing to go to Federal Highway because of churches. Just use any other road because it will be very smooth. Since beginning of the year, the traffic leading into Tmn Sri Manja has become heavier because of opening of the road to Puchong. So you will encounter jams after you come in from the Shell petrol station. So please use the road coming from Wisma Peter. Most of the time the road is clear.

Yes, the building is right beside a Petronas station. But to me, there’s nothing wrong. In fact, it’s so convenient because there’s actually a KFC in the petrol station as well. There are lots of low cost houses around this area. Actually, the population at this area is quite 1 Malaysia. Most Chinese will be staying near Tmn Sri Sentosa area, Malay and Indians at Kg. Datuk Harun area. Therefore, you get a good mix of 1 Malaysia restaurants around this area. If you like Wantan Mee, try the restaurant called Fai Wong (Monday close) opposite Sri Manja Court. If you want more choices, just go to PJ Old Town or PJ New Town which is 10 or 15 minutes drive away. About driving in this area, just be careful of Mat Rempits. The way they drive their motorbikes tend to be quite careless and they will usually come out around 5.00 to 9.00 p.m. everyday. The Mat Rempits tends to linger near the futsal court opposite the Petronas station. However, I have stayed there for more than 15 years, I have never involved in any accidents before around this area. During Puasa month, the place near the futsal court is full of stalls selling buka puasa food. So, if its Puasa month, just come back after 7.00 p.m. and all roads will be cleared.

What about crime? Yes, this area is famous for body dumping. Canny Ong and Nurin was dumped near this area. I guess that is why this area has never been first choice for most developer. The reputation has tainted and this has caused the property price at this area become quite depressed for so many years. However, the past two years, the price have begins to move up. I am staying at Sri Manja Court. The original cost was around RM150K for a unit about 1,000 sg ft. Now the price has increased to about RM320K to RM350K. Yes, not a spectacular increase but I believe this area is beginning to be noticed.

The best thing about this area is the strategic location. It’s near to all major Klang Valley areas. KL, PJ, Damansara, Puchong, etc. Yes, this area is not as good as Bandar Utama, Damasara, etc. but I feel it’s better than most area such as Subang, Puchong, etc.

I stay at Sri Manja Court for more than 15 years and never had any break-ins or any trouble before. Tell me where in Klang Valley don't have break-ins? Heck, my boss who stay at Damansara Utama also got break-in.

All I can say is, if you got nothing good to say about this place, please keep your opinion to yourself unless you have ulterior motives. Yes, you have the freedom to post whatever you like but stop being a troll. In other words stop being a "kayu tahi".

I didn't say there's no break ins at Sri Manja Court at all. I am saying I have stayed there for 15 years and I did not suffer any break ins at my house before. What I am trying to point out is why people like you make this are like its a some sort of crime infested area. I am just trying to point out that in KL today, everywhere got break ins and crime.

Yeah I feel "save" at my house. If you feel not "save" coming to this area, feel free to go somewhere else where you are "save". Why be a busybody and stir things up here and there? I welcome constructive criticism but not criticism from people like you who have nothing better to do than to stir things.

There's ample visitor parking space inside the compound. The 2 parking in front of the guard house is for pick-up or temporary parking for registration purpose before the visitors drive in. Is it really a big hassle for you to just come out of your car to register for a few minutes? If you don't want to register, just ask whoever you want to pick up to walk out and wait at the guard house. You are just a visitor. If you don't like, then don't go there anymore. Its that simple. Small things like this also want to complain like its a big frigging deal. Different condo's have different rules and regulations. There are reasons why things are implemented. Somethings you might feel unnecessary but are welcomed by the residents staying there.
