MRT line? Be careful about Mah Sing marketing gimmick! When they sell M City/ M Suite, they also promote MRT in Jalan Ampang. Nobody knows exactly how the MRT circle line loop around. Because of this, some of the developers already harp on this kaw kaw.. Aman Putri also another example...exploit MRT kaw kaw!

The river of life got chance look like Singapore Clarke quay or big monsoon drain currently..

are u sure?? i cant imagine if i have a condo overlooking clarke quay

Stay tuned....



Mah Sing's proposed joint development of 4.08 acres of prime land along Jalan Tun Razak-Jalan Pahang faced a setback after the conditions were not met.

However, Mah Sing said it would explore options to move ahead on this. The project is a niche development – M Sentral -- with an estimated gross development value of RM900 million and it is part of the RM9-billion 58 acre riverside urban regeneration project.

I think more chance of being big monsoon drain than Clarke Quay.

Now Mah Sing Group takes legal action against Asie...hmmm...some hanky panky going on??

Discussion heats up on Pekeliling

THE decision to redevelop the Tunku Abdul Rahman Flats (Pekeliling Flats) into a commercial centre has received mixed reactions from the public.

Titiwangsa MP Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani has urged the Government to consider redeveloping the flats into an affordable housing scheme instead.

In its former glory: When the Pekeliling Flats, or Tunku Abdul Rahman Flats, opened in 1969 in Kuala Lumpur, they were considered posh highrise living for lucky urbanites. Now discussion rages on what to do with the land. - filepic

He told StarMetro that there was a pressing need for affordable housing for city folks.

“There are too many commercial centres in Kuala Lumpur and land is becoming scarce.

“The location is suitable for housing as it is easily accessible, with a bus terminal and monorail station nearby,” he said.

It was reported by a local news agency recently that Johari had questioned the redevelopment of Pekeliling Flats in Dewan Rakyat recently.

He had asked whether the site could be used to build PPR units or for 1Malaysia People’s Housing programme.

In reply, Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, said the location was more suitable for a commercial centre and would help boost the country’s economy in line with Kuala Lumpur Draft Plan 2020.

Johari said the Government should focus on providing residents with better and affordable housing.

He said the flats were on government land and not awarded to any private company yet.

National Housebuyers Association (HBA) secretary-general Chang Kim Loong, however, is supportive of the move to redevelop the flats into a commercial centre.

He said the location was not suitable for families as it was too near the town centre.

“It is not a conducive environment for children as it lacks basic amenities and they will be exposed to noise and air pollution as it is near a main road.

“I hope the Government will ensure sufficient housing in a suitable location for the people in view of the redevelopment project,” he said, urging the Government to expedite the project.

Non-governmental organisation Permas president Tan Jo Hann said the Government should look into upgrading existing flats before building new ones.

“There are still vacant units in some of the PPR flats and the Government should look into filling them first,” he said.

The Pekeliling flats were one of the earliest housing projects in Kuala Lumpur, with 11 blocks of flats built between 1964 and 1967.

Previous news reports had said the area would be redeveloped into a housing and commercial project called Taman Sari and was part of the Government’s urban renewal efforts to provide residents with better housing and living conditions.

Privatisation and redevelopment plans for the flats were announced in early 1995 and an estimated 8,000 to 12,000 residents were relocated in two phases.

At the end of 2005, Government-appointed developer Asie Sdn Bhd began demolishing Block A and B after most of the residents from the 11 blocks moved out, mostly to the Taman Sri Rampai flats in Setapak.

The 45-year-old building, which was supposed to have been demolished in early 2010, has been left to rot due to a legal tussle.

Any more updates on this? They are demolishing the flats now.

This was a proposal by Mah Sing last time. Hope you enjoy this posting.

The design intends to recreate an Oasis of tranquility in the cityscape, by employing thoughtful and strategic zoning to avoid the modern ills faced by developed cities, as well as setting a new layout to the actual area.

The free wave forms of the buildings refers to a mixture between modern and vanguards architecture creating in this way unique sculpture standing buildings.

The Wave shows pure and clean lines to generate organic curve forms, which are elegant and soothing.

Zoning for the different buildings have been carefully considered to enable beautiful views and also avoiding overlooking into other units.

The overall undulating platform level was set up at 20m above street level to set up a new ground level hiding in this way, the existing old city below, as well as keeping people away from pollution, traffic congestion, and carbon monoxide.

The incorporation of nature is one of its most important features. The proposal carries its nature heart openly. It has long skyline gardens and playgrounds as one of its main themes representing the development and its future.

Green spaces, ecology of landscaped areas and parks gardens are for the community to use passively.

The River is to be revitalized as well, and it will be of upmost importance to the city. It will flow into the site and will bring the most spectacular aquatic wildlife.

The new and poetic interpretation of the relationship between ground and water, architecture and landscape architecture, is clearly evident. The design also creates a microcosm of the world made up of water and ground.

Taman Sari can be resumed as an unprecedented development that will set up a new way of living. Retail, restaurants, shopping and entertainment uses will act as a magnet, drawing residents in the neighborhood to the site at all hours of the day.

The mixed use concept means that people can live, work, shop and find entertainment in one location, a true microcosm of a city “a city within a city”. The project will enhance people lives in many ways and will rice standards of living.

High-class and medium-class professional people will be attracted by the enormous spectrum of activities, leisure facilities and ambient created around this charming development.

Taman Sari The Wave, has fused the old with the future, the nonchalant area with the ambition of growing into one of the biggest connection Hub in KL.

Mass Transit City will connect the area with main points of the city, allowing people to have quick access to different locations.

“TAMAN SARI WILL CLEAR THE OLD, TO MAKE WAY TO THE FUTURE…”

taiko,
is this plan still on-going??

This should be non related to Mah Sing. The previous development plan was done by asie and rewarded part of the land for Mah Sing to develop only.

Now came out with new plan. Plan is still going on because it is a prime land but no 1 knows when will it starts to develop as they need lots of cash to develop. Pekeliling flats are in progress demolishing, river is in progress for beautifying too (but not sure River of Life can be success or not).

H86, true.. i know some other developers involved in pekeliling other than MS

Called Mah Sing today. It's no longer under them. Probably they have sold off to some other party.

So which developer take over? Will it be PJD Youcity@ Titiwangsa?

Last time i looked at the proposal was a diff developer pitching for it/working on it (cant remember though)..

Will Ekovest/MRCB take over?
