Can anyone comment on whether it is true that there is business restriction in selling alcohol and pork in cyberjaya ?

Do u mind share where are the shops ? Tks

I am surprised n concerned of the scarcity of the non halal joints in cbj esp the nature of the corporationsin cbj. Was told Dengil has better options. Btw I only know of 1 joint that sells alcohol but it was conducted in discreet manner.

Setia Haruman understands it for sure - but will they take real action to change it to reflect the life style of the mnc workers aspired to live and work in ? I am afraid it may require the fundamental authorities to debate if this will be allowed here in CBj enclave (just like in putrajaya enclave, non halal is not allowed).
It is really weird to say the least after 10+ years, there is no open pub in CBJ. Food for thought. I love to see CBJ to grow into a vibrant to international city to work, enjoy and live - but something underlying is not encouraging it at the moment.

There is still not a F&B in the new Shasbury that offers non halal food.
What u heard about non halal food is really just a dip in the ocean. Go and see for yourself. There are more middle eastern food on the contrary.
I think the buyers of CBJ have to pose this question to the sales agents/developers collectively so that this city will be built with all in mind.

Re Setia Haruman list -
There are only 6 Chinese food outlets amongst the many in the list. I believe all are halal except Teochew - but then again I tend to believe it is also a non halal.
There are other Asian foods, but my money is they too are non halal.
On the contrary you will find a dozen middle eastern outlets - I am sure you can figure out. (not racists here but just state the facts based on what is provided).
Bistro Cascada and Karma are parts of Cyberview lodge hotel. No brained here why they exist but then I don't think people will go to hotel and drinks, unless you have guests there.
Rahim is not bistros.
Cooler bar is in a strange locale hidden and very discreet. Wonder why.
There used to be Hops and Grapes bistro but not in the list now. I assumed it is now taken over by Rim Bistro - this is a kopitiam joint at best.
The only bet is Rock and Bull. I hope it stays on.
All I am saying is if you are buying into a particular life style then you need to check out the reasons why things are not happening. Otherwise, you will be very disappointed and disillusioned not getting the stuff you need.
As said, I too want CBJ to be a truly international city to work, live and enjoy as it should be.

The above 2 comments very much hit the nail. If the current profile remains status quo, then the current landscape (i.e type of of food, amenities, etc), will not change drastically either.

CBJ is a purpose built IT hub and commercial area and hence it makes sense the road infrastructure has to be wide to accommodate the future volume when township is fully developed and operational. (As a matter of fact, I think the roads should be far wider). We have often seen too many township and commercial areas developed without due consideartions and proper planning with regards to supporting infrastructures (proper road systems, amenities, etc).

The reason for the lack of residents (emptiness) in CBJ today is simply because there are not many 'properly built' houses built or available in this area. But this will change as we see it now.

I am not here to convince anything - I don't have the desire and motivation to do that.
What is said is simply sharing what I know to my best knowledge. We need impartial views - both positive and negative.t's pertinent people knows the best to their knowledge and make informed decision. I hope this is the reason for this forum, no ?

Also, please don't pre judge if anyone here is flipper or not. No one should make judgement here. Debate yes. Agree to disagree. Disagree to agree.

Not many people knows abt Gitabayu and not many people talk abt it. Any idea why ?
