This has been a long standing issue with student tenants and the extra motor vehicles. The problem started with certain house owners who wanted a quick fix in renting out their vacant houses to students. The common mistake made by these group of owners is their selfish attitude and disregard of the house rules and bye-laws as stipulated in the Sales and Purchase Agreement & Deed of Mutual Covenants. Most of these owners claim ignorance of the rules & regulations. Nothing short of giving excuses, all the time!
The appointed property management company are doing its best to contain the number of students staying in a single household and limiting the number of motor vehicles entering the compound. In this respect, these same owners who break the existing rules & regulations, are required to extend their fullest co-operation to safe-guard the peace and safety of the township with the expiry of the current tenancy agreement with the students.
Similarly, with the extended assistance from the management of the security company, the security guards are coping well with the problem. Over time, by constantly enforcing the rules and regulations and maintaining a communication link with the residents & owners, we should see a marked improvement later.
Hopefully, my neighbors and other owners understand the concept of staying in a gated residence and abide with the rules and regulations.

It is really annoying to have unreasonable neighbors (students or otherwise) staying next to your house.
While the property management company are aware of this haphazard parking problem and excess motor vehicles,
the issues need to be investigated and studied carefully. What I understood, the management company have briefed those owners who had earlier rented out their premises to students. Implementation and enforcing the rules & regulations are case sensitive issues with individual house owners who can be argumentative and unreasonable.
Change and acceptance of friendlier and harmonious community living in a gated compound takes a lot of resolve and effort by all parties concerned.
I would appeal to my neighbors to support closer neighborly co-operation among the residents.
There's talk about formation of Homeowners Company which will include all house owners as members.
That proposal would be a positive move.

From subsale? What is the price... ?
I bought it from subsale last month.. RM530,000.

My, you are indeed a winner! Congrats.

There are increasing number of inquiries lately from prospective purchasers from other suburbs of
Kuala Lumpur & Selangor and other States.

I was recently informed by a relative that her office colleague came to know the last transacted price
of a intermediate unit in Ken Rimba was in the region of RM640k+.

At last, my investment in this township did pay off.

Good job...
It is difficult to build a success township. Not only depend on the development concept...  Many luxury condo in Klang Valley become the low cost appartment due to uncontrolled tenant or improper building maintainance.
The management of the new property/township always is the 1st concern point for me.
Do it right at the 1st time. Hopefully can gather our (invester and owner for Ken rimba legian, jimbaran, coming condo, comercial shoplot) small power to monitor and make the changes.
*
As a house owner myself, it is really frustrating to know that other indifferent house buyers do not share our sentiments in promoting and securing a peaceful, safer and friendlier neighborhood among the residents here.
We can't discount the fact that there are such selfish characters around.
Most importantly, concerned owners should extend their co-operation and assist the property management team to
oversee and manage the residences well for the benefit of all residents.
As for outstanding issues with students, other residents, haphazard parking of motor vehicles, etc, there are avenues
to resolve the problems. The committee members in the Homeowners company will be tasked to implement and enforce the rules and regulations.

To be fair, they do do fogging every weekend. But still, it is just not enough. I think the ponds around the housing area need either more fish, or at the very least to be turned into water features perhaps that keep the water running and not stagnant as it is now. And yeah, all they know how to do is to chase for payments, yet without giving back payments to the owners, as well as actually getting anything fixed in the neighborhood. For instance, the roads. The god damned roads. Sweet lord they are so bad coming in. And for a private guarded and gated development, it seems they just about allow any Tom, d*** and Harry to use these wander about unchecked.
*
Given my own experience staying elsewhere previously in Kajang, the local council MBSA are keeping tabs on the dengue situation in Ken Rimba. They are conducting routine inspection checks on every house. Unfortunately, the inspectors are unable to access entry into the unoccupied houses which are locked or the resident-occupied houses when the occupants are out working during the day. There are other probable causes about the high incidence of dengue cases in the country which need to be investigated and reported to the authorities. In this instance, the management representative could submit their weekly fogging schedule and work with MBSA health department to contain the problem in our vicinity. It has to be an on-going exercise.
As for the outer neighboring roads, it comes under the jurisdiction of the government department JKR. The best way to effectively resolve this issue is to approach the area councilor requesting him to secure the necessary funds to maintain the roads.
When discrepancies concerning the lack of proper security checks by the guards are not reported officially to the
management, the residents have to take equal blame for the indifferent attitude in their personal safety as well as their personal household items. There must be more concerted effort by every resident in Ken Rimba to ensure a higher standard of security services.
Every owner has the option of settling their maintenance payments once every three months quarterly payment
or every month at their convenience before the due date.
Thank you for allowing me to share my views.

Does anybody know why is it always jammed almost every Sunday near the Commercial lots? There seems to be a whole bunch of people standing around, and the traffic just doesn't move.

Not an issue anymore. It was just a temporary case of an employment agency taking up a short term lease in one of the shop lots. The people concerned have since vacated the premises and relocated elsewhere. Just a hiccup!

Of course not easy to manage, this is a tough job. What we can do is hire another good management property company to manage for us. Then we can remove silly tank.

Every house owner/resident has a right to voice your views.
Granted that all comments and remarks are taken into account and discussed to find an acceptable solution to all parties concerned.
Securing and appointing a qualified and reputable property management company in Selangor is not a simple
matter.
Before we can embark on this exercise, how many owners as members are prepared to offer their personal time and knowledge in the committee and as office bearers, for a period of a year (365 days)?
The above positions require responsibilities and accountability to oversee the management team.
Added to that, monitoring the accounts is another major issue for the committee members.
Costs are expected to further increase, what not with the implementation of GST in April 2015.
Then, there are the legal framework to consider in the formation of the RA or Home owners company.

the limited amount come in by their vehicle card
the rest come in using visitor pass, they have been doing this crap for 4 months or more already
mad.gif they don't even return the visitor pass and the guards don't do anything, saw this with my own eyes.
sometimes they borrow their friends access card and when coming in guards don't even ask for car sticker.

This is a cat and mouse game. Given my personal experience where I stayed in a G & G community in Ampang and Kajang, these happenings are common in housing areas where colleges and universities are located throughout the country.
Such characters deem it as "fun" or for whatever personal reasons they have.
The guards have other specific duties to perform in their daily tasks and within their limited capacity under the law.
It is a challenge for any property management executive to handle the above issues without causing further aggression from the delinquent students.
There are no easy answers. The real culprits are the owners who rent out their property to students without any due care or concern for the affected residents like us.
The property management will have to address the existing excess vehicles entry & haphazard parking and deal with the offending students and their landlords appropriately.
Let's us move forward towards helping each other for the benefit of resident owners in Ken Rimba.

I am sure as registered pre-owner(s) in Ken Rimba, you are more than welcomed to today's open house event.
Being Father's day today, the other resident owners will have to find time to attend this happy occasion. I believe
light refreshments are being served.

Everyone are encouraged to attend. Nothing like meeting and learning from other experienced house purchasers.

i really don't mind students staying next door as long as they follow the rules and regulations like every other residents and keep the peace and cleanliness of the place.
i don't have much time to stop by the management's office to write a complaint letter so i usually email them.
format is always: ongoing problem, explanation, then solution.
i think it is best that we still have management to settle these issues for us, even though it is a lot on their plate.
getting a house RA is not such a good idea as there is a lot to do and not many pensioners are around.
the security guards should be stricter and firm when it comes to letting people in.

Solution:
1. Limit the number of access card per house (eg max 8).

2. All vehicles with sticker should be registered and a copy be placed at the guard house. Any car coming in with sticker should be cross referenced to the list.

3. Any house expecting visitor vehicle staying overnight should register with management and obtain a visitor slip with duration of visit written on it. A copy should be given to guards and when cross referenced when visitor vehicle comes in. Once duration is over, visitor vehicle is to leave. Vehicle without sticker or visitor slip should be clamped and fined (this is how management can earn money), thus reducing number of unwanted vehicles.

This may be a lot of work but once done repetitively, it will become a norm. This is a successful method when dealing with a situation where there is alot of vehicles but not enough parking.
Guards must be more vigilant at night after midnight, inspect all vehicles outside house compound and clamp those who are not abiding the rules.

Once vehicles are dealt with, there will be less nuisance to residents. Creating a disciplined living environment will deter pesky humans with lack intelligence from entering as it seems troublesome to live in such an environment.
*
Your positive feedback counts. Property management and security company should carry out an evaluation. Any improvement to the safety and security will definitely be a plus for every resident.

Well, i guess we know who's working for Ken Rimba social media then. Very well written by the way. Except for the part about residence taking blame for the indifferent attitude towards personal safety. I wouldn't have gone there buddy. It is a dangerous road to go down.
*
We are a group of concerned residents living in this gated community.

If at all, despite our private & busy lifestyle and background, we as Malaysians are not prepared to act and care for our neighbors in an emergency or watching out for intruders and other undesirable elements around us, I can't say anything else over the above remarks.

The introduction of security measures by the management company are but a deterrent to criminal activities.
Personal safety for our loved ones and oneself is still the individual responsibility.

Like other individuals who have their personal views and concern, you can make your own conclusion and decide on your options where you want to stay.

We will do our best to achieve our objective.

following this thread very keenly as I think Jimbaran would probably face similar challenges once we are on board next year.

Managing people staying in a neighborhood in this country does pose serious problems to the management company.

However, good governance is achievable when interested house owners care for their properties and value their investments.

Only too happy to share my "limited complimentary knowledge" in housing issues with concerned house owners.

Good day, mate!

My niece planning to buy sub-sale intermediate house along front row 620k. She has taken into account the "students" & other outstanding issues which will be remedied in due time.  The traffic lights at main road allows easy exit to federal highway and batu tiga toll, all in good time. LRT stop in I-city future link to bandar utama. KTM will certainly improve commuter train services linking to kl sentral. Padang jawa station is about 15 mins walking distance. No noticeable "flood" at puspakom/alam avenue cross roads leading to federal highway. More families now moving in and homeowners 
Will give less preference to students. They are just temporary. She is looking forward to meet new friends.

I suppose done deal 'on a willing buyer, willing seller' basis. Lately, agents confirmed sub-sales for front row Legian varies from RM610k up. Reasonable in present market pricing.

Momentum in sub-sales and new projects in selected locations of Klang valley is building up especially with implementation GST in April 2015. Refer http://www.themalaymailonline.com/money/ar...n-global-survey

if not mistaken those phase 1 houses, the warranty will expired this July end.

The properties in phase 1 were completed earlier than schedule. Notices were sent to inform us that delivery of vacant possession was end July 2012. With expiry of the defect liability period of 24 months; start August 2014, each homeowner now have to bear the monthly service charges.

Not sure about purchasers who bought sub sale from ken at a later date than us. Better check your mail from them or check with GNSB for clearer details.

Really encouraging for residents to know Mr. Wong from management office will endeavor to do his best in resolving certain house issues. Understandably, certain matters raised are beyond his jurisdiction.

Clear communication between the complainant and management very important to avoid any misunderstanding.

I am satisfied that my problems are addressed and will be attended to soon.
Please continue the good work.

An excellent wise move you made! For people familiar with PJ Utara & PJ Selatan, it is difficult to purchase a suitable freehold landed property at these current prices. For sure, the sale price in coming months will escalate as momentum build up in the demand.

Good Article.  rclxms.gif

Just concern about the olympic size pool condition if most of the condo units rent out.... (similar to legian) rclxub.gif
*
Interesting - all things considered and in all probabilities, my hunch is most owners won't take a risk to rent out to unscrupulous tenants. For the amount of his money invested including the interior refurbishment costs, he would seriously consider living in with his family. I do observe that most buyers are decent working couples or middle-aged adults intending to set up home in a modern and G&G development. Of course, there is a small percentage of owners who will lease out their units as like in other condos around the city.

All said, there are a lot more meaningful chores in life to be done than just lazing in the pool day and night.

If you haven't really noticed, more homeowners in Legian are prepared to lease out their houses for a higher yield or put out for sub-sale. Current going price well over 620k on a 'willing buyer, willing seller' basis. Where else around, can one safely buy a freehold property to invest? Besides, the management are improving on security/entry restrictions; it takes time.

Hi guys, for your information I am one of the purchasers of Ken Rimba Condominium 1 and I had just received a call from them saying that S&P signing session will be held on 19&20 July from 9am to 6pm at Ken Rimba Sales Gallery. Besides, Block B is now open for booking and 40% had been taken up just in few weeks time, the launching price is 5% higher as compared to Block C. Grab a unit before it runs out again guys.

Seems like a good invitation to attend the event for 'would be owners' and those interested but doubtful.

Given the completion date in late 2017 (36 months) and VP in 2018, you can't find a neighbourhood like this location anywhere else in the Klang valley in future.
I am very sure my investment will be worth a small fortune in the next decade.
