IMHO, influx of population in one area may not be the catalyst for the properties in the area to boom. New projects/houses will still be built but the price will not appreciate drastically or shoot up like in BJ, Puchong or Kinrara.

Nowadays, most of m'sians are not merely taking their houses as just a shelter over their head, but treating it as a luxury after work life-style . For landed, it must be F+G, G+G with clubhouse facilities, linear park. For condo it must have multiple tiers security, privacy concept and etc. The vicinity area needs to have commercial shop lots for their convenience. That is why projects in BJ, Kinrara and Puchong are in BBB mode even though the price is sky high.

I believe all these while, new houses are still continuously being built in Semenyih and Kajang but the price did not appreciate that much until lately the over inflated properties price in KV split over. Developers also have noticed that to reach out for more wider range of potential buyers from different income bracket, they will need to explore further south or north with relatively cheaper land and build houses with new concepts and ideas to further entice the buyers as the entry price for those houses will still be relatively cheaper than those hotspots in KV but still able to enjoy the quality lifestyle even though it is further away from KV.

The presence of those big players with quality projects will definitely help to boost up the image of Kajang and Semenyih.

Should get the government to look into the public transport infrastructure instead of building more highway which is just prolonging the traffic problem instead of solving it.

What make you say so? Any big projects coming into Sungai Long?

That is why our country is always in the catching up stage. Government is always looking for short cuts (building more and more highways to solve traffic issue) to gain popularity from the people so they can stay in power. KTM has been in service for so many years but no significant improvement has been done so far.
