In Malaysia,  a house is not only playing a role as a home for living, it also provide "Insurance protection", unlike Singapore, China, their currency is strong, Ringgit against Singapore has been devalued from 1.1 to 2.4, what about the next 30 years? improve or getting worse? See what happen in Zimbabwe, a bread which cost $1 in 2000 is  cost $70,000 now (in Zimbabwe note), if you are Zimbabwean and have $200,000 in 2000, what would you do? buy property or keep as fixed deposit in bank? obviously the later is a disaster , of course Malaysia would not go to the that extend, but I dun trust paper print currency notes, it is only paper.

Buying gold or property is alternatively the best instrument to safeguard our money in hand..just for sharing  

Kinrara Residence 888K (3317sf) = RM267/sf. Esplanad 1.0 mil (3180sf) = RM314/sf. Jalil Sutera 960K (3038sf) = RM316/sf. The fact is In Bandar Kinrara BK9 (Senja, Sinar, Spektra, cahaya) - 1745sf is selling 630K (RM361/sf), Hening 2000sf at 720K (RM360/sf), Permai 2024sf at 730K (RM360/sf)

Bukit Jalil should stands a class above Bandar Kinrara which shd be RM360/sf at least which means Esplanad fair value is 1.14 mil and JS 1.09 mil (-12% and -11.9% below mkt value), worth buying.

although Kinrara Residence is leasehold, given it's advantage in terms of the concept & benefits, fair deal shd stands at RM330/sf, which means it shd fetch a value of RM1.09 mil now (-18.5% below mkt value), worth buying..

Note : DesaPark City are traded at RM645/sf, 1 Utama RM440/sf, Putra Heights new hse RM310/sf, SP Setia Alam is selling RM270/sf now

To digress, since most of you can accept the leasehold condition, have you considered Sutera Jalil, especially those who missed out the KR purchase and is banging their head? Prices starts from RM550k.

In addition, some observers might wonder what is the deal with the craziness being experienced in Kinrara / Puchong areas. I attach here an article to share.

Hi Daryl, I met Mr Ho Chin Soon in one of the open conference speech in 2006, I mentioned this The next LCG article posted by hin in 2002, in that moment, Bdr Kinrara is not showing any sign of Center Gravity, I asked him opinion about it, he told me that is wrong judgement as too many factors that he can't predict, then he told me the development line has gone upwards to Kota Damansara and Sg Buloh, he was right.

I personally foresee that the center of Puchong has emerged, located in Setia Walk and PFCC, apart fr the college, PFCC will have 1 4 or 5 star hotel in Block B ajacent to the entertainment mall and the water front shopping bazaar of Setia Walk, otherwise IOI's next mega project "Intellicity" would have play the role as the center of attraction in Puchong, it will be something like the Auto-City in Seberang Jaya Penang.

I'm fr Bdr Kinrara 5. House prices in this area are expected to rise further due to opening of district police HQ and construction of BK LRT Station. I oso believe in due time they will open up a Klinik Kesihatan at the emply plot of land beside police HQ. U can see the signboard "Tanah Milik Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia" there.

Melodi area has a very nice linear park for residents and public. But I'm afraid that in future this park will be fenced up like what u see from the opposite side superlinks & semi-ds. Few years ago, public can still use the park but now it's fully fenced up by residents association.

I have a feeling that KR development will take BK to the next level in terms of popularity & status.

Way 2 go...BK
