No drama la. I was just trying to clarify my opinion on this developer. No develooer is perfect. Some customers feel short changed .... some people are more easily satisfied....me . I only want to make money. I dont even live in klang valley. I am from kuantan.... btw. I also recently sold my tropicana avenue.... 160k profit. Down payment only 26k.( in case u r wondering.... no RPGT meh???..... i get away with that cos SnP to be signed at the end of the year... in the mean time we use a Power of Attorney...... so by Jan 2017 i dont need to pay RPGT.. but i have alrady taken my 10% and the balance will be in Jan 2017)

Whats the rush. Please take as long as possible.

I got a unit there too on the 15th floor. But gardens did not look so near from where i was looking. Anyways . Good pitcure.

Hi guys. just wanted to ask. considering that Arnica should be handed over soon. has tropicana corp requested any of u guys to give the deposit for water and electricity yet.?
i am asking because i got a unit at pandora , tropicana metropark and i had to give the deposit about 2 months back already. Cheers.

Called them yesterday. And they seem pretty confident that vp will be at the end of this month. About the water and electricity deposit, it will be collected during vp . Due to it being bulk meter and commercial rate. I do not actually remember, but wasnt it supposed to be under residential rate?

what was your snp date?
mine was 20 nov 2012. so few more days qualify for LAD already.... and some LAD would be nice. my unit at tropicana avenue , they gave me 30+k in lad. free renovaitons.

may i please know what was ur snp date?

Champion. u signed ur snp 4 days after the launch.... means u prob didnt even wait till ur loan was approved.... or u did not even take loan. Thumbs up.

Does anyone here know when if developer has gotten ccc for arnica yet...... i believe everyone waiting with high anticipation and anxiety already.some news would help.

I think a very large portion of TG buyers are probably in the top 10% if not 5% of the general population. We are not talking about the top 1% ma. paying such a premium for a smallish property, one probably does have many options.

i personally dont take public transport.... but our public transport is not exactly cheap also right?

i only go down to klang valley about 2 to 3 times a year. and if the past 5 years, every time i come down. i see drastic changes..... slowly but surely we are getting somewhere.( where i dont know) .... but maybe the pace of our development is slower than other developed nations. (due to lack of corruption). and with the comment about investors..... we need investors also to keep the wheels of commerce moving. maybe there are too many of them... but in times like these. we can separate the men from the boys.

when i was a in primary school.... people say " subang jaya where can stay one... near the airport, later plane crash on your house. and so far away somemore. when i started working. ppl say kota damansara.... where???? never heard before. same for ara damansara..... but now... some people think its somewhat attractive to live there.
our next generation... maybe it will be nilai or bangi.

by the way... does anybody have and update on the status of Arinca? should have gotten its CCC by now. but have yet to hear anything.

good work man. thanks for giving out of towners like me a visual update.

i think another 2 to 3 years also enough dy loh.

no need to call ppl ridiculous one. to each is own and it depends on where u stand. i suppose. in this discussion we are looking at the middle class and above only. but if you are in the 5k per month range i suppose, they would feel more of a pinch to maintain a car. but in more developed nations where there is minimum wage and the difference in wage gap may be smaller, owning and maintaining a car may be more difficult as opposed to just taking public transport.
in my opinion , car ownership is cheap. i cannot say about public transport because the last time i was on public transport was in 1998, taking the KTM commuter to class during my college days. even when travelling to places like singapore, bangkok, or hong kong where ( i hear they have fantastic public transport ) i have never taken.... cos i got 3 kids... and better to take taxi.
i drive a 4x4 to work. a passat when i am not going to the office and a 1994 2jz supra for when i feel like burnin rubber.
none are high end cars and i dont think i could be in this situation if i were overseas...... unless in an african or south american nation...... but what do i know.. i only lived overseas for 5 years driving old clunkers during my uni days.

100% true

Singapore is in a class of its own la.... thanks to govt... education... and so on..... and thus... though once part of malaysia.... has developed into a totally different culture. so a comparison is difficult to make. but i admit. we are lagging far behind in many respects to them..... but not for an instance would i want to live in singapore....... and that is my opinion.

Y not we get back to the main topic and talk about Tropicana Gardens.
