Not too worry, once everything is ready, this whole Taman will be tagged as FULLY GATED & GUARDED AREA!!!
To answer non-paying maintenance fees, let me clarify, in the future, there are 3 groups of residents in KR, 1) Bungalow/Semi-D residents 2) link houses buyers who direct purchase fr TMS + Link hse buyers who bought fr Mahajaya + accept upgrading package fr TMS 3) Link hse buyers who bought fr Mahajaya (not accepting upgrading package fr TMS), the problem might come fr the 3rd group, those buyers (I dun no how many) will not hv clubhouse membership, I dun know how TMS handle them as they could possible end up didn't pay a single cent but enjoy the free security.
The real issue for maintenance in KR is since link houses is under individual title, it is free fr them to sell (without consent) their house even though they owe maintenance fees, as for Bungalow & SD, Under master title, no issue of owing fees, you can't sell if you dun clear all the outstanding (consent kenot get).
p/s : can someone who turn up 26th March pls help to ask TMS pertaining to those Mahajaya non-member issue

Precisely, security sure tight.
IMO, to form a gated and guarded community is very easy, but to ongoing maintain the common facilities is a big big task, sometimes I wan to blame developer for not perform their duty to educate residence on theirs' responsibility and duty in g+g area, we mustn't assume that all the g+g residences understand the concept, till today many g+g areas appear to hv problems after few yrs operation, some owners think that if their management office is not doing well, then they can still hand the maintenance jobs back to respective authorities to take care.....it really happen, no joke (frankly I dun like g+g b'coz of tis)
If KR has many investors buy to flip, then may hv problem also if hse kenot be sold, vacant & owner give excuse not to pay mthly maintenance, be prepare to face this ya
Another thing I worry is developer absorb the 1st 2 yr fees, it is gd can save money, but problem may arise when terms expire, to start collecting hundreds of mthly fees will be challenging, becoz to serve maintenance fees, one needs to make it a habit.
I always hv a "dream", if for the 1st 2 yrs, although developer absorbs fees, residence can still starts to pay a little bit fr day one (certain %) to a stakeholder a/c (FD), until the 3rd yr, it is easier to keep the pace...

Thanks for the info. Tis is the 1st time that a Taman appears to hv different set of RA, m trying to imagine wat could be the relationship be?
For instance, TMS only mentioned the fees for each & every household, but never detailed the allocation, as we know, there are a few items need to be make clear :
1. Club house maintenance - collective fund to maintain
2. Playground, street light etc - g+g needs to maintain by themselves
3. G+G has sinking fund - how does it be segregated?
4. Wat Wil happen if the number of link hse owners reduce?

Look quite complicated to me

Yes I know tis, I just dun understand how to manage the money? 2 different RA, 2 concept, 2 guard post, but only 1 common club house, so will 2 RAs share 1 account, if no, then how much suppose link hse owner pay for club house membership + guards fees?
If share 1 account, then all monies will goes to maintain club hse, security fees, g+g common facilities cost (including painting refurbishment), so if link hse membership reduce how? Confuse

Ok, link houses members are required to pay RM150/ mth for maintenance fees, RM100 is security guard's fees, RM50 is for club house fees. 2 separate a/c will be managed by respective household residents (RA & JMB).
As for g+g SD & bungalow area, they will hv their's JMB to take care the maintenance, their maintenance charges are calculated based on b/up sf area (like condo) RM0.10/sf. I am not sure 10 cent/sf is enough or not for maintaining the common areas (roads, street lights, linear park, guards etc) which is so big..., I roughly estimate (SD 2-sty RM300/mth, SD 3-sty RM400/mth, Bungalow RM500/mth), , after dedut the allocation for Club hse (RM50/mth/household), mthly collection is about RM120K, SD/ bungalow frens shd look into it now. .

Dun put high hope

Material used for building Qaseh is much better than KR Semi D / Superlink

Added on March 28, 2011, 1:59 pmMy fren went last Friday, book 1 Semi-D at 1.58mil, after viewing the show hse, she wrote in to request floor & frame changed, reply fr TMS SA is no more changing, my fren withdraw then

SA says management has final meeting aleliiiiiiiiiii, no more changes, stick to wat you see as per show unit, my fren brought a contractor to estimate if she were to change the flooring & quality frame at her own cost, 100K!! She then raised it to TMS, 30K discount was offered to her then. Finally still can't take it, chao quick quick bye bye to KR!!

Jangan-jangan a reputable ""TMS"" deteriorate become "tns" (t_u ni_ s__g) fill in the blanks pls

He purchased fr Mahajaya, lucky!!

Kenot say right or wrong, I think tis incident will happen once in our lifetime, I would say they are the lukiest batch of purchasers I ever see in my life, they shd thank TMS came into the picture.
I was at Mahajaya sales office suppose to buy 2 1/2 storey, but after saw the 2 1/2 show unit, I withdrawed (the show quality is terrible).
The upgrade offered by TMS is quite reasonable as many extra things have been added (modern facade, larger b/up, club membership, security intercom), I dun understand why still have many Mahajaya buyers didn't accept tis offer and blame TMS for doing that. For those units which didn't upgrade, TMS will still made some changes on the facade (FOC) to make it look a bit similar to the new design, but we can still differential it.
I know TMS is a very calculative developer, every single cent also count, those Mahajaya buyers who didn't take up the upgrade package shd be worry whether TMS build different quality hse for them, as I know the management is not very happy with these batch of purchasers, it will end up providing Mahajaya quality fir you.

Nolah...you probably misunderstood, 2-storey hse upgrade only cost the existing buyers 28K only, to enjoy all those benefits, dun you think it is not wise? Anyway this is personal choice

Yes I know that, my fren us one of those last minute, after seeing the showhouse, regret now. The best selling point for KR is the club house, in the future, the selling price could be easily 30K different.
Although many including me say the quality of the show unit is so so only, but has anyone of you saw Mahajaya 2 1/2 storey show house (at the entrance), I would say damn Jialat!! In my life I never saw a terrible show unit like that, if TMS 3-storey is 8 marks, Mahajaya's show unit is 3 marks.
Those who take up the upgrade package are in fact buying an insurance fr TMS, to ensure that theirs' hse are similar to new design. It is nothing wrong if TMS provide MAHAJAYA quality for non-upgraded hses.

Boleh happen ya, closing door operation, who knows wat will developer do.
Anyway, congrates to both of you, Huatlah!!

mine 3-storey fr TMS

extended balcony

ya no balcony, wat I mean is existing Mahajaya balcony being closed up and extend a little bit further, master room b/up shd be bigger

Look carefully the front portion, the decorative roof covering also considered part of the gross b/up. it does not form part of the master b/up.
Fyi, In KV developer's b/up is gross, In Northern Penang, the b/up mentioned is nett b/up (excluding car porch, patio roof etc)

Early bird price of 1.32 mil, providing these specs is acceptable.
But now 1.5 mil up, I tot Developer will upgrade the specs but very disappointed, too much
