Thanks, Weikee, for sharing your experience.

Passed by your house last weekend and noticed that your neighbour has also done massive renovation to his house. IMHO, your neighbour house is overdone, looks kind of ugly & has also spoilt your facade. The huge balcony and columns seem out of place and does not have practical use. I wonder how the authorities could approve the design. Cheers.

Hi Crystal,

She like the grand style. Each people have its own taste, so cannot compare lah.

I think she got the permit with the design as the facade on the first floor is open area, not cover. Ah well, is her house so let her be loh.

Drove by your house to fetch my child from tuition. It is really none of my business but there is a saying in Chinese "see can't cross eyes' and so I attach a shot to show how out of place your neighbour's house is in relation to the others' ..... The good thing is your house is now shaded from the hot evening sun.

Well, to be honest I don't know. I was only following weikee's renovation and decided to drive past a few weeks ago to view and appreciate his masterpiece (- my favourite pastimes is to drive around looking at new renovations and new houses). Then I saw the massive renovation which seems out of sync with the neighbourhood. 2 days ago I drove past again and decided to take a snapshot - a picture tells a thousand word. If you look at the house with the grand balcony by itself it is actually quite nicely done. But his/her poor neighbours will now have to renovate to match the facade.

in my opinion, balcony is a waste of space as we Malaysians don't normally like to go out onto a balcony (of link houses) to enjoy the views or the sun. It is a different story for high rise condos.

Think on the bright side, my house getting more low profile now, not worry of thief :-)  if you look on the other side my house not too bad. I feel her neighbor affected most.

I do understand your concerns as a few year ago my house was burgled just afew months after we did some minor renovation, my husband got a new company car and we bought a new car for my son. Nowadays it is never too safe to unintentionally attract attention - either robbers/burglars or the LHDN Officers may pay a visit. Yes, your side not so affected by your neighbour. Cheers
