so what are you implying? that it's "okay" to stay in sovo soxo sofo?

mammoth empire products are split into completed and under construction properties.

since you quoted majority staying in these units, presumably you are referring to completed units and not "intention" of the purchasers to do so in the undercon projects.

empire subang is soho. whether or not it is under hda or not, i don't know and i don't care. there have been also reports of empire subang disallowing residents staying. again unverified.

empire damansara consist of soho as well. or so it is marketed. again whether or not it's under hda is none of my business as i'm not vested. but it makes perfect sense for purchasers to do own due diligence and check properly.

so can you kindly confirm which mammoth projects that is not under "soho" category that have people staying in it please?
am sure nearby residents would be more than happy to lodge their proper complaints to the authorities for illegal usage of the building as stated in their title and dmc.

as for upcoming empire city. strangely enough propwall also picks it up as soho.

so which projects of MEH are you referring to as sofo and sovo then? 

to further examine this, do you realise the true implications of granting soxo products for residency purposes?

what it generally does, is shift the entire scale towards the benefits of the developer.
developer does not need to conform to HDA for their products. risk of abandonment increases by multiple folds.

there are also a lot of other issues at play but in the big picture, soxo ONLY benefits the developers.
