check my first comment again. .i stay near Presint diplomatik, shop is aplenty over there. u can google "presint diplomatik" just in case u dont know where is that. walking distance to mamak, nasi arab, malay food, tutti frutti, snogurt, mydin. and less than 1-2km to alamanda. can go watch movie etc etc.
free house? i never heard of that. its just lease to them, contract over and off they go. thats why many retired gov servant stay at pinggiran putra once they finish their term with the gov.
they can opt to buy house in putrajaya but they cant buy gov quarters. Anyone can buy in putrajaya (im not working for gov, still can buy, my parents as well stay in putrajaya, both not working for gov). Like i sed, chck my first comment. my neighbours is chinese, taiwanese, mat salleh, dutch, and a few malay.
thats why, to buy cyberjaya/putrajaya, its better u ask someone staying there. outsider input can be so so, but to understand the community and more about the place. better ask the locals.
I had survey that area before to be honest before i start surveying cyberjaya...
