āWe too have lobbied for such infrastructures to be carried by the respective public-listed utility companies because they are business ventures,ā he said.
when msia govt short of $$ (due to corruptions, leaks etc), i think more and more developers need to bear the cost of infrastructures eg bridges, flyover, tunnels, new access roads, road widening (eg rawang by gamuda, guocoland etc ), drainages, lanscaping, subsidy the mrt/lrt land for schools, carpark, garden, masjid/surau etc. At the end the extra costs will pass to the new house buyers. So expect the home price go up more. it is just like the new home buyers subsidy the govt to build all the above infrastructures. (Msia boleh!)
The old home buyers will benefited the most as old days the developers do not need to build so many infrastructures (as the traffic is not busy/complicated etc) and they can now enjoyed the rocketed price rise. eg BU in 80s,90s--no brigde, tunnel, flyovers etc. Now the new house price from SHC, Berjaya, Mammoth, MK etc already include all the above facilities..(all developers need to share the costs). The more developments the more infrastructure needed to cater for the needs of resident (old and new). Unless they stop new launchs which is impossible. Expect to see more flyovers, infrastructure in Damansara (but the govt will not going to foot the bills, it is u..)
