Hope to provide some info for PS :

mgmt fee + sinking fund: RM0.17/sq ft
strata title : obtained

Pak Hitam : much less now compared to last year. I personally think its a good move as the lesser of them, the better name Palm Spring will have and in long term, better market value for this property. The Pak Hitam's are one of the reasons which deter PS from having good market value. While Mgmt can only do so much as to ask owners to stop renting to them, only owners who see long term gain will avoid renting to them. We have to understand that some owners are still stubborn.

Security guards : recently changed and was impressed that mgmt actually hire the head of security a local guy who speaks our language. Before (ie 6 months ago), it was still some burmese head of security who speak very broken english and i had difficulty complaining to him for issues that occured at late nights. Last week the downstair unit of mine, some student tenants had music turned on till 12.30am. I called the security hotline when the guy picked up the phone, i realise he was a local. Told him the problem and he actually went to the unit and them to switch off. Then he actually texted me as a follow up to let me know he has met them.

Maintenance : i do see also improvements in facilities magmt in general although better effort can be done in terms of the lower ground floor-4th floor wall painting where many use the lift at those floors to access from car park to their units. Some inconsiderate tenants sometimes places shoe marks on the walls. And yes, the good thing about this place is, if you dont pay mgmt fees, they will cut the water off. This move have help in the collection of on time mgmt fees to maintain this property.

DOWN POINT :
Traffic : agreed that it is bad jam in the morning during rush hour and weekends!!....then again..i witness the same in mont kiara, bangsar, dataran sunway...etc. What to do lah...seems like a predicament for the rakyat now everywhere. Hoping the MRT will help ease a little of this issue in later years.

Car Parks : Limited.

PLUS POINT :
for families and for those with old parent's, this place is great thru my own findings. My friend's mother who is old...when my friend go to work, her mum are able to have lunch at the PS area easily as shops are within the compound. She can buy simple groceries at the mini mart and back then when there was a hairdressing place, she even have her hair wash there. It allows for old people to be independant in PS. For those with kids, its a homely place for evening walks and some play area for kids to play and swim.

amenities out of PS property : easily assesible to 7-11, massage centre, mamak just by walking thru a small gate between Block C to these places.

Hope the above helps.
