*** The More REFRESHED & VIBRANT Discussion Thread on Denai Alam - from the legacy of the initial THREAD***

"The most prestigious neighborhood in the Klang Valley."

OVERVIEW

Denai Alam is located along the Guthrie Corridor Expressway and about 5 km north of Bukit Jelutong. The Denai Alam township is planned according to unique “Denai” concept which is a 4.8 km continuous green space surrounding the development.

Planned as mixed development, the 920 acre Denai Alam consists of 5967 freehold mixed residential and commercial units. The township which was launched in November 2004, is a low density development with only 8 units per acre.



Denai Alam was inspired by the traditional Malay kampong that stresses on communal living in a modern neighborhood with traditional charm. A place where landscaped footpath or denai serves as dedicated path for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles.

This development was awarded 2003 Planning Innovation Award from the Malaysian Institute of Planners.

DASH Highway Update



The Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (DASH) is a 20.1 km, 3-lane, dual carriageway expressway that will commence at the Puncak Perdana U10 Shah Alam intersection and serve as a link for Puncak Perdana, Alam Suria, Denai Alam, Kampung Melayu Subang, Jalan Sungai Buloh, RRIM, Kota Damansara, Damansara Perdana and Mutiara Damansara. It will end at the Penchala interchange, linking road users to LDP and SPRINT highways. 12 interchanges will be built along the alignment. The proposed expressway is expected to support rapid developments along the alignment covering U10 Shah Alam, Subang, Kota Damansara and Damansara areas.

Proposed DASH Highway Route

Benefits of DASH
- As an alternative route for Persiaran Surian at Kota Damansara which has capped its road capacity
- The rapid development along Shah Alam and Jalan Batu Arang corridors require an additional road capacity
- As Subang Airport becomes the main low cost carrier terminal in 2015, DASH will become an alternative and easier route to the airport
- It will act as a link between east and west of Klang Valley by crossing over NKVE and linking existing highways namely GCE, LDP and SPRINT
- RRIM’s development in the area is expected to increase population by 300,000 which will cause congestion to the existing routes. DASH will be a solution to this problem

Very nice detail facts on DA. Thank you for starting this Denai Alam thread.

Anyone knows if the DASH highway by prolintas has been approve yet? Last I read from the news in march that the mutiara damansara folks were protesting against this highway passing through their development.

If this DASH highway is approved, denai Alam residents can travel to PJ within 10 mins.

Well done and great job for starting up the new thread! Really can't wait for the DASH highway to be up!

Thanks for starting the new thread

I would like to just share what I know after studying DA before and after purchasing my house. DARA is registered already, and they have done the surveys etc long ago. But for some reasons, finally each phase was advised to hire security for their smaller area/phase. It is a lot more easier to manage that way. That's why now, phases that are sharing entrance/exit points may want to joint force . It is most convenient if your phase only has single entrance/exit point.

I had a wishful thinking to have a decent security in our neighbourhood not long before moving in, a few neighbours and I had gathered, met with DARA AJK, SD people even before we received our keys. Then everyone busy with reno, then we have to wait for other neighbours to move in. This takes time and we are still in the process of gathering enough support.

Hopefully you can get enough force. My Phase is single entrance/exit . So hopefully it would be easier (I would say 1 year after VP to get full force is good enuf already)

Anyway, saw on DA FB page some kinda of mamak to watch football/lepak2 have recently open. Niceee...so not so quite there anymore at night. Not sure the exact location anyway. Can't imagine since I dont live there



Anybody?

Added on June 18, 2012, 8:24 pmI visited the iproperty show at KLCC yesterday. Most of the big boys are there. Most of the terrace house being offered are pushing the 1million level. Almost all offer Gated and guarded. Unfortunately, our SDP Denai alam and I&P alam impian are the ones that don't offer G&G. (Sigh!!!Sigh!!!) And yet our terraces are reaching the 1Million level already.

They should offer G&G, otherwise they will loose their competitive edge out in the long run.

Of course, we can implement the G&G ourselves on our expenses. However, this will be more difficult as most of us are busy in their daily lives and more $$$ from our pocket.

Nevertheless, when each our phases are ready, we can get together to get our place Guarded at least.

DASH HIGHWAY

Thank you Xai-V-iaX for the new thread

reporting in from Opulenia

My pleasure Mr.Muffin and just FYi - have added you to the top list as well

Have you already moved in?

yep, couple of months ago

...any feedback thus far? I was very close to getting Opulenia actually but opted for Fern Lane instead

There were some comments from our fellow Denai Alam'ers on the security of our housing area. Your take on it?

Sime Darby’s 9-month net profit increases 30% at RM3.1b
Thursday, 31 May 2012 10:24 Anuja Ravendran 0 Comments



Sime Darby Bhd is confident that it will surpass last year’s financial performance, having announced a 29.7% increase in net profit at RM3.1 billion for nine months ended March 31, 2012 (9M12), compared to RM2.4 billion in the same quarter last year.

Its president and group chief executive Datuk Mohd Bakke Salleh said up until April this year, the company had already chalked up a net profit of RM3.4 billion whereas net profit for its financial year ended June 30, 2011, was RM3.7 billion.

“The stronger performance was on the back of commendable results from the plantation, industrial and property divisions,” he said at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

For its cumulative nine months, Sime Darby posted a 16% rise in revenue to RM33.5 billion compared to RM28.8 billion in the same period last year.

Mohd Bakke said the plantation business, which recorded a 20% increase in pretax profit of RM2.4 billion for the cumulative nine months, had benefitted from higher crude palm oil (CPO) prices realised at an average of RM2,881 per metric tonne (MT).

The company expects oil palm prices to hover between RM3,100 and RM3,200 per MT for the next few months depending on factors such as spike in demand during festive periods and more traders buying palm-based products, he said.

Additionally, Mohd Bakke said Sime Darby will venture into the palm oil refining business in Indonesia by setting up a RM350 million facility in South Kalimantan with a capacity of 850,000MT a year to mitigate the 20% export tax that Indonesia imposes on CPO exports.

Its plantations segment contributes about 55% to 60% of the conglomerate’s total earnings, industrial machines contributes 20%, motor and property segments contribute 10% each and the rest are from energy and utilities and healthcare segments, he said.

The industrial division recorded a growth of 41% at RM986 million for its cumulative nine month period on the back of strong mining, logging and construction activities in Australasia and Malaysia, he said. The division’s current orderbook is at RM4.6 billion, spanning over a period of five months to 20 months.

Meanwhile, the property division showed a 50% increase in pretax profit to RM315 million in its 9M12, buoyed by higher sales contribution from its various sales project, Mohd Bakke said.

“The take-up rate for high-end products is slower but normal linkhouses are selling like hotcakes,” he told reporters.

He added that the company will launch a new township called Elmina comprising commercial, residential and retail properties adjacent to the Denai Alam township in Selangor in the next financial year. The details of the project is being finalised.

Added on June 19, 2012, 11:41 pmFrom the report above, looks like we will be getting a new township elmina east adjacent to denai alam starting next year. Apparently, it is suppose to be a green township. They are promoting more green pockets in elmina east. Looks like this area is getting very exciting with so many new developments. DASH will fit in nicely here as the population starts to increase.

Added on June 19, 2012, 11:45 pmTake note that the DASH passes by denai alam right at the southern tip. Possibility quite close to those house with red roof nearer the big lake. Luckily, it is not that close to maple and aster grove. It is buffer by the MBSA hall and sports complex.
