Hi seneador, the unit on the left is an end lot with extra land. By the way, noticed your 'work' in Panoramio. Thanks for putting BSC on the map.

Yes. We did ask and was told the cabling will be exposed. As for new tamans with underground cabling, tiang letrik mesti ada.
Otherwise, where to pasang the lampu bro?

Called KLK @ 4 pm today and was informed that only the semi-D's will have underground cable feed.

TNB probably chose to erect all the electrical/lamp posts first before they 'string' the cables later. Unless, which I sincerely doubt, KLK have a change of heart and decided to provide underground cabling to all precincts or I could jolly well have been misinformed too. As for your description of the water pipes, it could be High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes.

(first time posting images, please excuse any mistakes!)

Thanks for the info Ckyap. I think it's about 4 km to Econsave & about 7 km to 'Tesco'

I don't know the value right now, but this article @ http://www.kinibiz.com/story/corporate/103...b-says-bnm.html may interest you.

Ever since the forming of a Residents' Association (RA) was first mooted by awiva in his posting on Oct 18, 2011, there was never another whisper on the subject. While some other subject matters discussed in this forum are for the overall good of the BSC community, we should not worry too much about the hardly audible planes flying thousands of feet overhead, but should be focusing, at least for now, on the formation of a Pro-Tem Committee/Associations (PTC/A). This will open up a better line of communication between the buyers and both KLK and the House Buyer's Association (HBA).

Upon vacant possession, the Pro-Tem Committee, after due process, will lead the R.A. This is very important because afaik, you need to seek the approval of the Local Authorities (L.A) to set up security post/patrols and the L.A will only liase with the R.A pertaining to such matters. While I and some others may have the option of moving in at a later date, it is not only the early residents who should take the cue but everyone else should be proactive. So may I humbly call upon those future residents with R.A or leadership experience, to please do a noble deed and take the lead. Contributions, services, in whatever shape or form, will be greatly appreciated.

The R.A is formed to look after the interest of everyone in Phase 1, irrespective of the time of VP. I hope that the R.A Committee will be represented by residents from all the different precincts/sectors (like sub-committees). Realistically, since only Banyan I & II comes with guarded security, the others under their various "sub-committees" will be entrusted to organize and run their own security. This I think is unavoidable 'cos unless the monetary contributions in relation to the no. of residents in each precinct is the same, the level of security will not be on par, not unless there is cross subsidy. Does anyone see this happening? Have we reached this level of generosity? I think.........

Now this is where the R.A can help by getting the approval for a "Guarded Community" and, on behalf of the different precincts, in procuring the services of a reputable security firm. This way, not only will it lower the costs but most importantly, have a unified response during emergencies. Perhaps the sales personnel of KLK too can help by informing the buyers about this forum so that there will more input. For the time being, let's hear your views/suggestions on how to improve our future quality of life. Sorry for being so "cheong hei"

Right on BSCalex. Every homeowners please feel free to make suggestions even if the VP is still a long way to go (Areca)
For the info of those affected, Duranta & Oleander are within the same perimeter fencing with the only entry/exit at the point where Jalan BSC 1A/1 & BSC 1A/2 meets. Since Oleander's VP is at a later date, a temporary fence will probably be erected along Jalan BSC 1A/5.

Only housing developments with strata titles are allowed to have a gated & guarded concept and not because there
is only one entry/exit point.

We expect others to be committed but are we committed ourselves. My clarion call for an R.A.
went mostly unheeded except for the support from these future residents who I'm proud to
name...... sapphire88/Areca, sepusk8/Areca, alligator_28/Areca,biotin/Areca, Sher5091/Duranta,
BSCalex/Oleander, chris_tco/ ? (sorry mate, help me out here)

Yes, discussions on security was held earlier but it was more, if not all, about Banyan and Bromelia.
BSC Phase 1 is bigger than that. Whichever precincts we belong to, we should help each other
because security should be a coordinated and concerted effort by every residents. This can be most
effectively done under the auspices of the R.A. Exemptions, to have some semblance of a GnG, can
and may be granted by the relevent authorities if we have a strong R.A., backed and supported by at
least 85% of the residents. Even those who are speculators should be morally obliged to contribute,
at least partially, to the monthly security fees as a secured and peaceful neighbourhood can only
enhance the value and marketability of their property.

After reading this excerpt from awiva's posting on 2nd. Aug. 2012, "My experience from 4 years serving
as secretary on the RA in my taman" I was hoping he'll helm the R.A. (pro-tem for now) in the capacity
of any of the 3 important posts of Chairman, Secretary or Treasurer. But if he should decline, let's hope
he'll assist us by imparting his knowledge/experience. If I've to nominate/elect 3 people for the hot seats
or just as committee members, the 3 names at the tip of my tongue are awiva, kengwei and seneador.
Perhaps you folks have others in mind? Let's hear them. Hope it'll be a good representation of every precinct.

Lao-tzu once said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." So let's take the first step
together as a coherent community.

The DASH highway is only expected to commence construction later this year or sometime in 2014 probably
due to protest by residents, especially those from Mutiara Damansara & Damansara Perdana, regarding the
highway's alignment. While I respect their rights to protest, proponents of the project should not be ignored.
Can anyone imagine the nightmarish gridlock if Litrak did not build the LDP?. Hope good sense prevail.

In your case, your L.D should be on a daily basis (please refer to your S&P) from 14 May 2013 till you receive the
"Notice of Delivery of Vacant Possession" (posted by alice08). Heard that some developers were known to pay
the L.D on the date you collect the keys. However this is the exception, not the norm. All the best bro.

If I remember correctly, the incessant rain between Nov.'12 and Jan.'13 was a major factor for the delay. Having said
that, the delay is insignificant considering the magnitude of the project. By the way, a month's delay for a 300k property
is 192x3x4=RM 2,304.00. If your property is delayed by same period, your compensation would have been about
RM 4,600.00. Now you can salivate by the bucketful. Yuk!!!

Yes. Normally MDKS will only take over maintenance after about a year. As for the rate, it is subjective.
On the assumption that KLK will provide better maintenance/services, is it justifiable for the buyers to pay
RM450/6 mths.as against RM190/6 mths (approx.) for "cukai pintu"? Should we just grit our teeth, at least
for the first 6 mths, and hope for justification? Perhaps!

In my unqualified opinion, it should be the date the "Notice of Delivery of Vacant Possession" was issued and not
the date you receive the keys. Yes, for the sake of argument, the letter can be backdated. But can it be substantiated
with undeniable proof. On the other hand, if calculation is to end only upon receipt of keys, what is to prevent buyers
from delaying the collection until the last day of the 2 weeks' grace period? Mind you, RM192/week/Rm100k is pretty
tempting. For that amount, I wouldn't mind if KLK delay my unit by 6 months. Since my unit was not delayed, I'll be getting zilch!

An entry/exit road will be available at where the proposed petrol station is located (near "Hibiscus". The main entry/exit at the traffic light intersection is scheduled for completion by JKR by the end of June or July.

If you are interested in getting a unit in BSC, shouldn't you direct your queries to the Sales Dept. in KLK?
Ask for En. Farid. He'll tell you what you want to know and not what he wants you to hear. Big difference.

What do you want to know next? The racial and ethnic demographics of Selangor? As for the future residents of BSC,
please just introduce yourselves without the racial tags like we use to do. Let's make the safety and tranquility of our
township our unified objectives.
