Sime Darby is showing progress with Denai Alam and Elmina that have been selling like hotcakes.

How much of percentage profit can the successful purchasers be looking at?

need to wait 5 more years to know

Mutiara Damansara residents protested.

State government have not approve the project.

What happen if it is realigned further north and terminated at NKVE instead of LDP?

Are you sure?..sos please..never heard of it

I am unsure. My story is old news.

Do you have the latest news to share?

Huh? Elevated?

Yes.

Heard lots of residents protest the plan to build behind their houses

Yes. If not mistaken, if elevated will make surrounding houses not good feng shui since it is above and houses are below. Somemore more noisy to houses and dusty too. Normal highway is better

how to build a normal hw through the housing area and the big huge condo around damansara perdana?

best bet is they will do a re-alignment to the routing again and bypass mutiara and damasara perdana.

The Damansara people most likely won't let it pass. They will protest strongly and it is too expensive to cross too.

public transportation is under state or federal?

U got a point there. Sorry, i never really checked the alignment coz not really bothered with DASH previously

SimeDarby Selling like hotcakes because most of the buyer is them-self.
Before Elmina open to public,SD staff has buy it & around 70% is taking out by them.
Denai Alam also is taking out by most of their staff last few years...If you get in Denai Alam,occupancy rate is low,a lot of empty houses.
If you are bumi buyer,you will has a lot of percentage earning compare with non bumi buyer. 20% earning after VP is normal,but need people buy 1st..
If you is big fish investor,just go to the place near Kampung Melayu Subang or subang 2.The price persf there still is cheap compare to Denai/Elmina.
After highway done & the area boom up,freehold/leasehold became no important. but all this is depend on highway completed & RRIM half cook developed.

BN was hoping to take over Selangor for this reason.

From Denai Alam till Elmina....the DASH Highway still is a proposal....

Aiya already said need to wait 5 years la. pr won sel and won't allow this to be built on environment impact. go check that damansara perdana thread.

Got newspaper. i also masuk paper with orang asli

Wait 5 year la until bn get sel

DASH and SUKE is part of the 7 highways approved plan under RMK-10 and has been awarded to Prolintas Sdn BHd. We can talk politic all we want, but who ever be the federal gov the project is still on. Sometimes we need to know how to separate between sentiment and country growth. Selangor PR never said it opposed the Highway (not very smart gov if they do), only final re-alignment of the highway needed to be calculated properly as it involved a lot of "rakyat"..

Where got Highway in Malaysia got nobody oppose one..MRR2,DUKE,LDP even federal highway also got people complaint last time..project still ON..

friends in the construction industry already confirmed the construction already started. there maybe some realignment due to the protest, but don't put too much hope on this realignment yet.

It is very subjective on smart. it can be smart to sd investor but not smartfm to dp investor right? or orang asli ?

Sel govt using environment impact stop it & will stop it in next 5 year as pr is in war with this glc company. this fact right now. I don't know that will happen next month. maybe pr march to putrajaya and ok with the glc ?

Hehehe...politic again. Just so u know..I pangkah PR too.

I think DASH will help relief some of the already congested NKVE highway. DASH + LRT / MRT to shah alam then this a perfect combo.

DASH should start from Puncak Perdana and end at NKVE without passing through Damansara Perdana and Mutiara.

if without passing through DP & mutiara.

Dash will rugi bankyak. less volumn less money.

Persiaran Surian is already occupied by the elevated MRT, unless they have the cost effective technology to build a 3 tiered elevated highway, I doubt they will re-alignt it trough KD.

I think more attention should be done at Subang/USJ area where traffic is getting worse. Here the case is more likely to be trying to push higher the cheap land value. Those who bought the land/houses at very cheap price before DASH will benefit greatly.

From someone who works at Mutiara Damansara and lives in Klang, any alternative highway would be most welcomed. My journey home on weekdays is a nightmare. During peak (or sometimes even after 8pm, depending on luck), it takes me 30 minutes to get out of Mutiara Damansara, 10 minutes or less to drive through the back alley that goes through Bukit Utama to link back to the Sprint, Another 20 minutes or more to make it on to the Sprint and U-turn to the NKVE Toll, A 25 to 30 minutes nightmare from the Toll gate to the NKVE highway, and another 10 to 15 minutes to crawl from Damansara till after the Subang exit for traffic to ease a bit. Tried alternative route from Kota Damansara to Subang Airport road via Ara Damansara and it's the same... massive crawls at the Subang Airport road these days... Sigh...

Ya man, NKVE traffic getting worse. Need an alternative route.

You can try Kota Damansara > Sg Buloh Road > Guthrie > NKVE Shah Alam toll > Exit at NKVE Klang. Not sure how much time you can save thru this route. Good luck !

can you asked your boss to let you go early or you start your work early.

my ex-boss allow staffs option start work 7.30am and go home at 4.30

most people staying KK, bukit tinggi take this option and avoid jam and petrol.

China man company bro, not flexi one, hahaha..

Latest news.

Prolintas to make a study.

wrong statement, study already done long time ago.

Fadillah said although land acquisition for both projects is ongoing, Prolintas will have to meet the conditions precedent before it could commence construction.

The conditions include details such as the financial aspect and technical capability of the company, and all reports pertaining to public consultation.

"Prolintas has 12 months, from the date of signing the CAs, to comply with the conditions precedent. Go or no go for the projects will depend on whether Prolintas comply with the conditions precedent.

"There will be a special committee to analyse the details and reports. If they can fulfil all the terms and conditions, they can start early. Otherwise, it will be 12 months from now," Fadillah told Business Times.

Fadillah said Prolintas has given his ministry the initial documents for both projects, which include questionnaires to have a public consultation.

Thanks for the correction.

So you think this will be a go or no-go?

anything with GLC, easy go.
finance and technical not even a problem with Prolintas (PNB pwned)
the public feedback was just show show only, do you ever see any project stop because of protest?

i got some study on the dash highway. the design was good, max 2 +1 toll design

Yes.. got once... the batu cave condo project...

From the study that you have, which location will benefit more and which location will lose out?

everyone benefit, no lose out so far
mutiara damansara can go nkve
dataran sunway can go penchala link

for puncak perdana u10 definitely beat the morning traffic jam along jalan batu arang and jalan sungai buloh,

there is a exit & entry purposely for kwasa damansara (MBPJ portion too)

the elevated highway was really design for toll, so from denai alam to jalan lapangan terbang must paid toll.
i'm not sure about from jalan lapangan terbang to denai alam, the drafting was unclear,

This should be interesting and money spinner for many parties.

Hope to see this starts soon.

Any pending conditions from the Selangor Government?

MBSA already have it inside local plan
MBPJ not sure yet

double check the darft again, looks like no way to use part of the dash highway for free, once you enter must paid at least one toll to exit

when come to paid toll or skip toll, all suddenly become talent de.

BTW, one of the condition benefir current road user was upgrade the road below elevated to at lest two lanes

This post has been edited by elmond: Dec 10 2013, 02:18 PM

I'd imagine this highway will be similar to NPE.

The question is whether the existing road has adequate reserve land to accommodate an overhead parallel highway.

Toll booths to put on the upgraded existing toll free road?

you are right the concept similar NPE, but consider full elevated,

denai alam toll & mutiara damansara toll elevated, RRIM toll on ground


Below was the study introduction, of course change may apply, key was highlighted in red

3.2.1 Lane Requirements
The Expressway is generally a dual 3 lane carriageway of with 3.5m lane widths and
3m paved shoulder with a design speed of 80 kph. In areas with constraints,
particularly in urban conditions and in areas of difficult terrain, a lower design speed
and double deck with cross sectional requirements may be considered but would be
subjected to the approval of the Government.

3.2.2 Interchanges
The project involves the construction of thirteen grade separated interchanges.
These interchanges are:
i) Puncak Perdana Interchange
ii) Alam Suria Interchange
iii) Denai Alam Interchange
iv) Kg. Melayu Subang Interchange
v) Galaksi Interchange
vi) Subang 2 Interchange
vii) Subang Airport Interchange
viii) RRIM Interchange
ix) Surian Interchange
x) Kenanga Interchange
xi) Mahogani Interchange
xii) Damansara Perdana Interchange
xiii) Penchala Interchange

3.2.3 Toll Plaza
There shall be three (3) main line toll plaza on the expressway which are located
before Denai Alam Interchange, RRIM, and Mutiara Damansara. Both manual and
electronic collection shall be adopted in these open toll system. Table 3.2.1 shows
the location of the toll plazas and the minimum lane requirement. The names of the
toll plaza will be determined and approved later by LLM. The numbers of toll lane
required for each toll plaza are based on the forecast traffic volume and the type of
toll collection system used.

Enter into Denai Alam and exit to Subang Airport shouldn't need to pay toll right?

sorry lo, have to paid from denai alam to airport
paid at RRIM toll then make a u turn (flyover) to go in airport road

from airport cannot go denai alam (current draft)

I a bit worry on the Damansara Perdana portion. I think the highway will kena my condo le. I want to go protest!

which condo you stay?
emerald, ritze perdana 2, metropolitan may impact only

Emerald lo... Damn it! Protest ah!

great info!!... did i miss any link before this - where u get this?. really interested to know when and progress.

How near is your building to the proposed highway?

google this, you will get a pdf link for a study case.
"The Expressway is generally a dual 3 lane carriageway of with 3.5m lane widths and
3m paved shoulder with a design speed of 80 kph. In areas with constraints,
particularly in urban conditions and in areas of difficult terrain, a lower design speed
and double deck with cross sectional requirements may be considered but would be
subjected to the approval of the Government. "

emerald facing the shop lot? then time to cry, it will facing the highway.

DP & MD peoples did protest last year. seems like protest also no use.

if jalan pju 8/1 already 3 lanes then, put a elevated road above of it definitely meet the road design & local council requirement.

protect is your right, please do so.
i don't see any legal issue on the design that can stop the build besides the politician stuff.

Expected completion date for this highway?

I remember i went for the protest in the area only to hear someone speaker said this :" Here are luxury condos, We dont want highway here, it would be too close to unit for comfortableness. They can go low cost area to build we wont protest there" And there people clapping hands...

I was like, WTF you are talking about, what u dont want you would be happily pass on to others. I rolled my eyes and walked away from the selfish group.

so at last is this a go or no go project?

When I read this, I don't feel sorry for the protestors anymore.

I fully support this highway. This highway will make it easier for Damansara folks to go to Shah Alam without having to go through NKVE or Federal which nowadays are really congested. Similarly Shah Alam folks can go through this highway and bypass NKVE highway which is now in a mess every morning.

this is how DASH highway will pass through DP area

I disagree. From Shah Alam to Damansara, need to take exit at either Kampung Melayu Subang or Subang Airport. From Shah Alam to go to both exits already a congested area with few traffic lights stop. Totally not a good idea to use this route. I still prefer NKVE.

Also, if to take Subang Airport exit. Need to go through Batu 3 toll. Extra cost.

LOL. that person must be staying at Armanee Condo

I live in DP. I went to 2 protests. Basically the fella who said "these are luxury condos bla bla" doesn't represent the majority.

There is definitely going to be impact and super congestion during the building of this highway especially as there's only one way in or out of DP.

Additionally the existing roads in DP are already pretty narrow to provide a comfortable carriageway. I remember YB Elizabeth Wong spoke about Sgor Govt not happy with this proposal as it mirrors the MRT route.

I suppose we'll find out soon. Money talks.

i'm not sure which part of damansara, some more shah alam not only seksyen 1-13, still got utara shah alam (obviously this is target to utra shah alam)

surian interchange for kota damansara
kenanga interchange for dataran sunway
mutiara damansara interchange for the curve, ikea ......

extra notes: by extension the DASH can go setia alam, bukit raja & klang (it's not in the plan because NKVE already take place in that area)

This post has been edited by elmond: Dec 11 2013, 02:28 PM

Yup, I was referring to Shah Alam city center
By looking at the plan, it definitely will benefit more on new shah alam area. Section U1 and above.

So this highway does not link up with Guthrie highway?

that was something strange, the study only shows
from u10 can go into GCE but have to use bukit subang interchange
GCE from north can go direct go U10
GCE from north no direct link to DASH
from damansara no direct link to GCE

Thanks!!!... i googled, got the link but it must be broken or site could be down. Browser unable to load the page/pdf file.

Agree.

that the reason no sharing on the link in public.
i think they now realize the hole, so bad.

is this the latest route?. if yes, this is going to be right next to and on top of the terrace houses and shop offices. not to mention, a church building and maybe a temple will come up next to the police station.

I think will kena my emerald la. Damn it! Why the road so weired wan... A curve like that... Stupid design!

it follows the road which is curved. to go straight means to cut through shop offices which, can't happen. this looks like it will be next to police station and then frenscino and straight into perdana's main road.

That 90 degree corner looks nasty.

u downloaded a copy?. can share aaa?.

unfortunately i view it online.

this is the original proposed route.

I am more than happy to have it. Congestion during construction is expected but not at all a point to object, it is temporary. without highway, people still come and go because they have to. With alternatives it surely help those who long suffer trapping in LDP. Dont see a point to protest.

how do you think DASH can help LDP?

i think KIDEX suppose be alternative route for LDP not DASH

To get out from DP, you either go Sprint (always smooth) or LDP (Jam) or The Curve (Jam). Adding another exit will surely help to lighten.

do you means exit to NKVE?
but the initial plan was flyover u-turn at persiaran surian with 1 DASH toll.

Just talked to my friend- contractor that involve soil investigation for DASH highway. Confirm the highway will start from Mutiara Damansara to Shah Alam. (project already started last month)

Which part of Mutiara Damansara? How about Damansara Perdana? Thanks for the info.

if project on, elevated highway will cut through whole road of damansara perdana.

do u know which part started?.

Any weblink to get this official info?

Mutiara Damansara.

Not sure there is any weblink to get the official info.

lol, i need to ask him again. He only said Mutiara Damansara.

is that road even big enough to fit a highway?

flyover lor. just like AKLeh or NPE or Kidex.

strange. why would they start on the most contentious area first. anyhow, the only active construction work I can see there is for MRT.

because the most contentious area was the main point of this highway, connection from west (shah alam) to east (kuala lumpur)

Support no to this highway!

kidex also no support

Saw a few signs saying something like "Pembinaan Dihadapan 500m DASH", right after Kota Damansara exit at NKVE.

Construction has started?

Very soon..

I hope so.

confirm they started already...already digging here and there..at first thought was MRT, but saw the DASH sign, confirmed they are building it already...

According to today's Star newspaper, this project is not approved yet.
