valid point
so called affordable housing for rakyat....yet price skyhigh
and now developer able to give rm100k discount and still make profit 

May I know the defect list of this project? Am tempted to booking but worried about the workmanship.

PR1MA is currently offering big discount for most if not all prima projects since 2 weeks ago if I'm not mistaken. On top of the 10% discount driven by the government, there is an additional discount given by PR1MA which varies with PR1MA projects. For PR1MA Alam Damai, an additional 15% discount was given so it is a whopping 25% discount in total should a potential buyer considers it. I would say it is worth it because earlier buyers including my daughter who bought at original prices have paid considerably more. Depending on type/size of unit, the reduction in price with the current discount is up to RM90,000 thereabouts for 1 unit.

For this reason, a petition was raised by existing owners who have paid at higher prices as PR1MA homes which are affordable homes created by the government should be seen as a fair entity.

Considering the huge discount for some of the PR1MA projects I do think it is worth it for those who are considering a property especially if it appeals to you in terms of location which to my mind is most important, other than other considerations such as facilities, quality of workmanship and size of unit etc. since the price has been slashed considerably and much lower in comparison to other similar types of apartment or homes around the same area.

The overall surrounding of PR1MA Alam Damai is actually rather nice. The landscaping around the area, central yard and entrance look good. It is only the quality of the interior inside the unit is not so good but those defects can be rectified. Also, another negative is the common walkway from the lift to the front door entrance of the unit at all floors do not have tiles and is only in cement render. For this reason is looks cheap but low maintenance is cited for not using floor tiles.

In summary it depends on your priorities. If looking for a decent affordable home, at the current low prices with discount offered, i feel it is worth considering a PR1MA property if it appeals to you in terms of location and other features. One good aspect I like about Pr1ma Alam Damai is the location which is surrounded by greens and many trees and located at a distance from the main road. At higher floors, the interior is cool and one does not need to switch on the air con to sleep at night. Traffic noises are also acceptable even with Windows open unlike other apartment or condo which are located very close to highways where the traffic noises are disrupting sleep. I think i read someone complaining about having difficulty in sleeping with loud traffic noises in a thread here.

Hi Guys, Would like to ask, is there anybody who already buy the unit and live there? I want to ask about the environment, is it ok for a family with 1 child to leave there?

Units are all fully booked since few days ago. Discount comes with caveat, was told no defect warranty is given & buyer also cant view the actual unit apart from the show unit.

Highly unlikely that there is no defect warranty provided in that the developer will not honour the repair of defects during the liability period. I don't buy it.

Also interesting that all units are fully booked. With the current slash in prices, I think most people would be wary because if they can just slash the price just like that, who knows 1 year down the road there will be another round of price reduction if the units remain unsold.

Despite the recent articles of complaints sent it to The Star by disgruntled early buyers of PR1MA mostly the Jln Jubilee project(none from Alam Damai yet) I was told that Zuraida has brushed off attempts from those seeking for compensation and losses up to RM100,000 for the current discounts given.

So do you think the price may go down further for Alam Damai?

I thought with the current price, it's one of the lowest for a home in that neighbourhood already.

I maybe missing something here lol.

My remark was a tongue in cheek. It is certainly true that at current prices, PR1MA Alam Damai is one of lowest in this segment considering its features which include good location in a relatively matured township. Buyers who have bought at the current discounted prices may have hit a jackpot as what you suggested is true. One will not be able to find a new unit apartment with this quality at this price range unless perhaps one go deeper into Damai Perdana which the location is less ideal to me (older houses with bad quality roads with many bumps and potholes) and not within Alam Damai.

If PR1MA can give such huge discounts now, there is no guarantee that they won't give another round of discount, provided there are unsold units. Anything is possible as ridiculous as it sounds. Marketed as affordable homes by an initiative by the government but ended up being not too affordable, and in the end made affordable just to get the occupancy to 100%.

Those who have bought at the current discounted prices have surely made a good choice as at the current low prices, the price will surely appreciate with years to come. A good investment even if one is not looking to invest because the place itself is ideal for own stay, far away from busy and noisy cities and traffic but still close enough to most major highways. The road leading to the apartment is good, unlike some apartments located in some messy township whereby one needs to drive through some small twisty roads or old rundown shophouses or warehouse to reach the guard house.

All in all, a very fair and reasonable view bro.

I was quite keen on this project too but I was tied up with another Pr1ma project already and cannot go for this.

Yeah, agreed with you I look the serenity of the site there.
