A good JMB is crucial. Get enough residents to form a JMB which can creatively and quickly do something that would positively reduce foreign student population. Meanwhile get management to record details of foreigners such as number of occupants in each unit, their personal details such as where and what they study or work, their thumb print, how long have they been in the country, etc. Such info would help JMB to devise appropriate counter actions. And the most important of all, Malaysians must be educated not to fall for such rare but often expert, casanova/tricksters! Also get JMB to ensure SW management receive and compile residents' reports of any suspicious characters. Investigate on them if needed. Somehow devise ways to get owners of units with many foreign students to pay extra service charges for all these precautionary work. I think even the foreign students that ultimately get to stay in SW, would also appreciate the effort to makw SW a better and safer place to live.

Does management has the legal rights to get personal details, thumbprint etc??

Btw, a little proud fact, apparently the beanieplex concept was the mastermind of TGV Cinemas, possibly first of its kind on the world

Interesting! Basically setiawalk is a commercial place.. It is getting happening n foresure more n more sosial issues coming up!

I suggest your lady frien complaint to the management b4 any unforeseen circumstances happens to her

What is the basis of her complaint ? Complain people make greetings to her ? Complain meeting the same few people in the lift ?

What can the management do about this bro?

The only other thing she can do is try to avoid the timing of going out from her unit or leave 15-30 minutes earlier.

In countries like Austrialia and USA, its government cannot even force its citizens to have a national identification card. Race and religion in particular, cannot be made mandatory in any application form. Some how it works in their society. In Malaysia, its a different story. Security guard often demand our driving licence, other wise cannot get in. Until and unless it become a big issue, getting applicants for access card to apartments with serviced facilities, to provide basic information for security purposes has not been an issue so far in this country. I am refering to information such as apartment unit No., name, country of origin, birth date or age, college or work place and contact tel no., number of occupants per unit, car registration no. and model, etc. NRIC and thumb print readers are readily available in Malaysia. If a foreigner does not have a NRIC, then he will have to submit thumb print into data base for verification purpose. Personal information that are irrelevant to apartment security such as bank accounts, income tax no., course of study, etc should not be requested. There should be a balance between reasonable requested info and security. The apartment residents JMB got to decide how far to go and its purpose. Otherwise how to have reasonable security? How to discourage crime by preveningt bad hats from commiting it and then vanished? Reality is, apartments cannot bar anyone from staying there based on nationality or race alone. However service charges for instance, can be raised if there are too many families staying in a unit. Cost of staying at any apartments, to a certian extent, dictates the quality of residents living there.

i'm actually disappointed with sw progress and how they maintain it
it is not from a small developer so there is no excuse
design wise is already questionable
cinema goers all use 2 lifts
the same with r2. 2 lifts only. 3rd one is dirty for moving bricks. i have seen condo with 4 lifts
if every morning meet the same PH is kinda scary

no cctv
i can only try to go on a different timing.
will PH say hello good morning to guys? i doubt it
only to ladies


i bought brio but now the main entrance is blocked by an ugly brick wall with workers hangin around at the back. now this PH issue

i joined and wrote in this forum hoping to find out from other owners whether they face the same situations.


thanks davkong for the invitation

jacqueline, tell your friend to cover herself
it will be safer
eg use a cardigan or shawl cover her shoulder/front temporary in the lift with PH

Vio,Brio and Solace, which one is better if it is for own stay ?

chris chew the party maestro
what is your take now on the night scene in sw?
did party at the top become the hottest scene?

vio , solace better front view
solace best come out bbq korean with shooting water to the sky

i hardly see cars on a queue now at sw. could it be goin downhill?
hope sw do more
there is still no official openin of sw
saw setia city mall promo now win trefoil

So, Wow. There is so many negative issues for SW. We can foresee there is no much potential for investment in SW.

ya, in the meantime, SW current owners need to bleed a bit especially its commercial shop units

Blame it on desperate owners who are not selective about their tenants......

Shortage of CCTVs and ugly wall at Brio's main entrance with workers hanging around it should be issues that can be more readily remedied by SPS if they appreciate the concerns. I think it was DavKong who made a good suggestion of getting SPS to build a water feature at or near the wall. The question is whom in SPS should we approach? Perhaps we can try to get more Brio and commercial lots owners around the area to discuss with SPS. I have enquired, but SPS refuse to provide contact details of owners of the empty commercial lots there.

There are limitations as to how much SPS can do regarding PH/student housing concerns. My guess is JMB must also work very hard to minimise this issue.

Whether SW is going uphill or down - it will happen gradually over time. Neglect and lack of concerns/cooperation between owners and managment is often a factor.

I would suggest Solace as it is bit away from PH and noise pollution from beer factor.

The row facing LDP having more units being occupied. A furniture shop, Sushi Restaurant and a Chiropractic Clinic taking up 2 lots.
