From the tenants list so far, seems quite promising. Don't think it will fare so bad IF there is support from Puchongites...

Tesco Extra is the largest Tesco format, it caters to business community as well as household with more selection and facilities... check out Tesco's website.. So it should be an upgrade instead of downgrade..

Well, this is what the website says http://www.tesco.com.my/html/extra.aspx?ID=4&PID=13&LID=1

Anyway, it's just a matter of rebranding and the enhancement of goods selection and services, size wise it will remain the same, don't see the point and logic to downgrade Puchong branch to a smaller one if they are profitable..

Don't think that will be true.. LRT will be at the empty field next to Tesco, that space is sufficient for the station.. Tot Tesco Puchong upgraded to Tesco Extra d?

There's a thread on this going on now http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...9466&hl=puchong

Actually, what do you guys think if this Tesco Puchong really closed? Will it affect you guys in terms of convenience? I am hoping there will be some higher end grocer coming to Puchong, where you can get more imported/ organic/ niche goods and foods.. I think Puchongites are ready for this

Setiawalk still can't get a grocer it yet... but yeah, hope there will be one there.

Talking about Tesco Puchong, that piece of land can be considered as prime land, just next to LRT and of substantial size. Can't discount the possibility some party might be interested to buy over it for some mixed use development..

I dun see any problem being in national school... was educated since kindy, primary and secondary in national school... dun see i'm less chinese than others. In fact, i listen mostly to chinese songs and speak mandarin mostly even in school. Some chinese educated friends i know listen only to english songs.. Irony

Maybe u r right, maybe u r wrong, i have my own thinking which i choose not to voice out here.. i am one of the silent majority probably. Cheers!

Nolar.. i never said that fighting for more Chinese school for future generation is wrong. In fact I fully support it as this is what more Chinese wants. What I didn't agree was that you said those who are not Chinese educated (like me) disregard Chinese culture as our root. Maybe I read wrongly, I meant no offence ya

Pangurban, I like what you wrote on ppl wearing taditional Chinese costumes. I see Arabs wearing their abayas and the guys wearing their kanduras everyday everywhere they go. These are not backwater but modern people in one of the most modern cities inthe world. I remembered asking myself why we Chinese with thousands of years of culture and heritage fall to wearing jeans and t-shirt and flip flops just like any other ppl you can find anywhere. I respect the Arabs for respecting their culture and identity and preserving it into modern days.

Lol... going to work in Putrajaya on time, come back to Puchong time jam jam..

Hi puchongites, wanna ask if the new road system at Persiaran Wawasan/ Setiawalk already running with the traffic light in place? How is the traffic like now with the new system? Before there are protests by RAs regarding 9 danger points with the new system...

Not only Skypod.... looks like there are more projects coming on this stretch of Golden Mile... http://irdkgroup.com/future/ .... also the possible redevelopment of current Tesco land..

Nicing~~

Lol... it's actually event for launching of SP Setia's other project in Klang called SetiaNgle, not really opening for SetiaWalk...

What was that? Signboard collapsed?

Supposedly there will be a development there, but after PR took over Teresa Kok promised that it will never be developed. I think that is what the residents of Wawasan want.

Hehe, it's always human nature to resist anything that will disturb their lives. Yup, the cemetery plan was off and that piece of small forest already gazetted as AHFR2. But not all protests can be successful, eg. the incinerator at the existing cemetery.

Anyone going tonight??

Looks like wholesome good time..
