You can extend towards the tank area, just make sure the tanks are still there. Real bummer of rules if you ask me IMHO, considering that its your own house.



Always remember that the local council supersedes any other mgt. As long as you follow through the local council rules and don't have any roof tiles protruding out from your area, you're fine.

The pic is just after extension, tanks are back at its place.

The main concern is the mosquitoes in the area. Even though theres constant fogging going on, I don't think it will entirely solve the problem as the mosquitoes will eventually get immune to the fogging.

The root issue is with the water areas, tanks etc. It needs to be well maintained. Well, I'll give it time to see how their idea progresses before I were to make my own escalation to the relevant authorities.

Sometimes I don't see why the need for management fees when everyone sounds like they are bloody sleeping in the office!!!!!!!!!!

Hey , thanks for sharing for the photo. But did you know how much for this renovation?

Kitchen alone should be about 25++. Includes tiles, roof, concrete slab, wiring etc etc plus thicker rebars.

Yeah, it's a real bummer if we can't do what we want....it's individual title for god's sakes but we have to deal with the management which may change over time and doesn't even live there :S

I have no idea what is the use of the tanks at the back when we don't have a backyard to even use it with......and we already have one in front for our car washing etc. So the back one is really redundant

I'm planning to put mosquito netting...although won't be that nice but heck, i don't want to get aedes/dengue!

most likely they won't build the cinema... what's the point? there will probably be a cinema in i-city city anyways...

Just wanna ask you guys, what defects have you guys found so far with your respective houses? Planning to inspect my house soon and would like a heads up on what to look out for.

I'm still waiting for the title change so haven't checked for defects but from what I read, water leakage is one of the major things to look out for

I spoke to the engineer over the phone this afternoon. Apparently water mark in the hall isn't caused by upstairs bathroom leakage, instead it is caused water tank leaking. The water tank is located upper to the upstairs common bathroom.

I feel it is much better to speak to the contractor engineer instead of the management office girl. This number was given by the office girl though. Ken Rimba Contractor: 0132060993

At least we can find out what is the issue that causing the defect. Guess it will be handy to share u guys the number.

Hey Kevin, how much it costs u to make an extension like that in the kitchen? Did u break the original walls (the one separating dry kitchen and ur new extended area)?

Thanks for sharing! We need a sharing community to make this a better place to live in.

Totally agree...

That is a very good tip! Thanks for sharing!

As mentioned earlier, 25k ++.

Yes broke all walls at the downstairs room, extended to the back. There is one structure pillar at the room wall, that you cant break. Meaning the whole kitchen is square with one pillar but its not too bad cuz its near the door though.

Yea netting sounds good. Theres this magnetic type. Cant remember the brand its detachable at anytime and the price goes by sq ft.

ahhh.. magic seal

Thanks a lot!
Since there's no store room in the house, I might just use the downstairs room as a store.

tqvm sharing this info....it helping me alot

You are welcome. Let's build a helping-each-other community in Ken Rimba. It will make Ken Rimba a nice place to stay & everyone counts.

Hi guys highly interested to get one unit for own stay purpose, in this area

So far how's it?

Possible to get 550k subsale?

Just did my inspection today and just wanna share with you guys some of the defects I've found.


Water damage on ground floor ceiling due to suspected leakage from Master Bedroom Bathroom plumbing.


Suspected clogged rain gutter resulting in the appearance of water damage to Driveway Porch ceiling board.


Grouting and tiling poorly done around staircase's support on the ground floor and upstairs landing.


Deposits of caked-in cement found in toilet bowls in all three Bathrooms.


Deposits of cement found on window frame of Master Bedroom louver window.

These are the few that I felt was quite major defects with the place. There are actually still several minor defects which I did not list here. Hope this helps with those of you who are doing their respective inspections.

TBH, slightly disappointed with the overall workmanship of the place
